This kind of post is not usually my bag πŸ˜‰ but I had to share!
DH said "what are you doing? You barely use those anymore."
Me: I know... I've been using my [bag that shall remain nameless]. But I will now!

LOOK πŸ‘€ at this cowrie shell charm/keychain from Reflektion Design - ATL ! It's just what I needed to add some cultural pizazz to my more classic bags.

It even looks great on my favorite throwback Coach Hamptons bag!

(BTW I think Coach & Dooney were the original It Girl bags. Because who was out here buying [insert hecka expensive designer bag of choice] back in the day?! Who?)

For reference, look at the size of this!
It's got good weight to it but won't weigh your bag down. And the brass is just beautiful.
Great quality as always Anitra Reflektion Design - ATL πŸ’•

The Founder's Monument in "The Valley" is a surreal experience. I have no words for it but every Soror should visit at least once. It is a captivating reflection of why we are Alpha Kappa Alpha women πŸ’•πŸ’š

Did you know adults need 100+ grams of protein a day? Even more if you're an athlete or in training (I have to make every meal count for ). Do you know how hard that is without supplements?!

I tracked my protein intake for a couple of months just to see how I was doing and this is what I learned:
β€’ white meat chicken & turkey has more protein than beef.
β€’ salmon, tuna, & tofu are not far behind.
β€’ edamame & cottage cheese are loaded with protein.

These are some quick & easy dishes I make regularly that I didn't even know were high protein (AND that aren't beef or chicken)!

1. Tuna salad stuffed avocados & Collard green wraps (47g thanks to cottage cheese & boiled egg)
2. Sheet pan salmon & veggies (27g)
3. Mixed beans (16) & rice w/ turkey sausage & avocado crema (37g)
4. Veghetti w/ Ri-cottage cheese (37g)
5. Hot & sour soup (18g)
6. Tuna noodle casserole (41g)...... 6a. add edemame (52g)
7. Penne with sausage & peppers (30g)

A few takeaways....
1. Use cottage cheese in place of or along with standard cheeses.
2. Always use/make protein pasta.
3. Turkey sausage & ground turkey has more protein than pork or beef.
4. Popeye had us thinking spinach will make you strong... it's good for you but has almost NO protein.

This is actually happening tonight because I canNOT with this Houston weather!!

In other news, this fireplace wall has been through some serious changes in a good way. I finally committed to tile surround that was in my original vision & it has become all that it was meant to be.

Happy Friday y'all! Stay safe, warm, and dry wherever you are πŸ’•
