Living Like Royalty

royal day Did you watch the royal wedding this morning? Hm, what can I say? It was almost as dreamy as ours a few years ago ;)    ♥  ♥  ♥

  I SO love fairytales and stories that end with ‘happily ever afters’! Big congratulations to the newlyweds! May their story be an ever-after one!

      ./♥\. = ./ █\.

But not only that I like happy endings, but I like happy starts as well. I say, there’s nothing better than kicking the day off with some delicious, colorful fresh fruit!

I definitely feel like royalty not having to make my own coffee. Push a couple of buttons and done!  Collages6What else makes me feel like royalty? Not having to stay up at night to hand knead my own bread dough. Praise the Lord for flea-market bought bread machines!! :)

Love the crunchy seeds on the top… 4.182  Top it with a scoop of low-fat cottage cheese and some all-natural berry jam. It’s the best!!! 

4.23 Lunch was amazingly regal too! I mean, just check out that fancy, shiny plate! Definitely fit for a queen ;) One grilled, folded scrambled egg with a few Romaine lettuce and spinach leaves, some sliced carrots on the side, a red pepper ring and two whole grain cereal balls. (Cooked and served with an ice-cream scooper). Yummy in my tummy! :) Collages41Snacky #2 of my royal day: one banana, topped with some crunchy peanut butter and cinnamon.

Dinner for tonight is already packed: some sweet, juicy, chilled honeydew. Can’t wait to dig in!

And now, if you excuse me, I need to go to work & make some healthy smoothies!
Love my new job!!!

PS. Want a royal name? 
1. Just start with ‘Lord’ or ‘Lady’.
2. Then your first name will be one of your grandparents’ names.
3. Your Surname will be the name of your first pet or toy
4. Then add "of" and the name of the street you grew up on

Mine would be: Lady Paraschiva Norababa of Lacramioarei
(Def. foreign sounding. Haha!!)

What’s your royal name? Do share!  :)
