Perfect.<\/p>\n<p><b>Morning Yerba Mate <\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5132\" alt=\"Morning yerba mate\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Morning-yerba-mate-510x497.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Morning-yerba-mate-510x497.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Morning-yerba-mate-1024x999.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Morning-yerba-mate.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It really is the little things. If we don\u2019t make coffee, one of my roommates makes yerba mate and she sweetly always leaves a mug\u2019s worth left for me. Add a little coconut milk and it\u2019s a very happy way to start the day with a gentle jolt of caffeine.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lunch for Two<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5140\" alt=\"Low Carb Lunch for Two\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Low-Carb-Lunch-for-Two-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Low-Carb-Lunch-for-Two-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Low-Carb-Lunch-for-Two-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Low-Carb-Lunch-for-Two-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Low-Carb-Lunch-for-Two.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m blessed with a great support system where I live&#8230;and many friends that I love to pieces. One of my favourite things is to make and share a healthy lunch while having quality time with good friends. The best.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sister Time<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5133\" alt=\"Sister Time\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sister-Time-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sister-Time-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sister-Time-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sister-Time-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sister-Time.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This girl.

She inspires me to love God more and embrace life fully!<\/p>\n<p><b>Morning Greens Drink<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5134\" alt=\"Tropical Traditions Green Drink for Mornings\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Tropical-Traditions-Green-Drink-for-Mornings-510x490.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Tropical-Traditions-Green-Drink-for-Mornings-510x490.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Tropical-Traditions-Green-Drink-for-Mornings-1024x984.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Tropical-Traditions-Green-Drink-for-Mornings.jpg 1123w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to lie, this doesn\u2019t taste amazing\u2026but something new I\u2019ve been trying to do is have some powdered greens before breakfast. It fills me up full of nutrients before I even have a meal! I add cold water, ice, and some coconut milk and it\u2019s not to hard to down! Plus, if weight loss is something you\u2019re looking for, drinking a big glass of greens before a meal will help you not eat quite as much. Anyway, I\u2019m doing it to increase my body\u2019s pH balance.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mika Rose Dresses<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5131\" alt=\"I love Mika Rose Dresses\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/I-love-Mika-Rose-Dresses-510x600.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/I-love-Mika-Rose-Dresses-510x600.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/I-love-Mika-Rose-Dresses.jpg 918w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a part of me that will always be a tomboy\u2026but I will always like wearing dresses. One of my favourite places to shop for them is an retro-styled online store called <a title=\"Mika Rose\" href=\"http:\/\/mikarose.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mika Rose<\/a>. I love it because the clothes are pretty cute and so reasonably priced. The two dresses above are a couple I\u2019ve purchased from Mika Rose.<\/p>\n<p><b>Organizational Planner<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5130\" alt=\"Erin Condren Life Planner\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Erin-Condren-Life-Planner-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Erin-Condren-Life-Planner-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Erin-Condren-Life-Planner-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Erin-Condren-Life-Planner-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Erin-Condren-Life-Planner.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While I\u2019m on the subject of favourite things, I love my new <a title=\"Erin Condren Life Planner\" href=\"https:\/\/www.erincondren.com\/referral\/invite\/charissafehr\" target=\"_blank\">Erin Condren planner<\/a>. If you have never heard of Erin Condren and you\u2019re an organization freak then you are in for a moment of happy! I\u2019m obsessed with it. I do absolutely EVERYTHING in this planner. I keep track of meal planning and workout plans for the week, school, assignments, work, birthdays, budgeting month by month, to-do list, New Year goals, shopping lists, and everything Colourful Palate. It\u2019s an expensive planner (especially if you purchase extra to make it really personal), but it\u2019s worth it and I\u2019ll never go back to any other planner. Addicted for life.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>What things are you loving right now \u2013 what are you thankful for?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to another edition of things that make my life more colourful!
