Happy Monday friends! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I had a good mix of relaxing and hanging out with friends and since I didn't care too much about who won the Super Bowl, I'm not crazy exhausted today. But just because I didn't care who won the Super Bowl doesn't mean I wasn't all about the food! Saturday night I got to have a game night with Kerri, Kate and the boys and we put together a pretty epic charcuterie platter to go along with champs but I think my favorite thing I made this weekend were these flourless chocolate peanut butter cookies.

If you've been following along with me for awhile you've probably heard me complain about my stomach issues more than a few times and you probably know I just finished the Whole30 last week. I definitely noticed a change in my body while on the Whole30 and I will definitely be trying to incorporate some of the eating habits I picked up from it into my every day life. One of those is eating as little gluten as possible. I'm not usually a huge sweets person but I am a sucker for chocolate and peanut butter and brownies. 

On Sunday I had a huge urge for something with chocolate and peanut butter but I wanted to avoid something that would make me feel sluggish later. Enter these flourless chocolate peanut butter cookies! At only 68 calories each and with no flour, these cookies were the perfect sweet treat without making me feel bad. Since these are flourless they don't get as thick and chewy as regular cookies do, in fact they're actually really crispy on the edges and then have a fudgy like center that reminds me of the outside edges of brownies.

Happy Friday friends! I don't know about you but I could not be more ready for the weekend. This week (and last) have been so busy for me that I'm beyond ready to just relax for a bit. Speaking of relaxing... lately my outfits have been all about comfort and while I love a good pair of heels, I've been living in flats lately. I'll blame it on the cold weather and my exhaustion but jeans, a tee and some comfy flats have been my go-to outfit recently and I don't hate it. Today I'm linking up with Amanda to share some of my favorite sneakers that I promise you'll want to live in too!

1 // You can never go wrong with leopard print or snakeskin print in my opinion. At least when it comes to shoes. I'm loving these (and also in all black!) and would you believe they're made by Dr. Scholl's?! So you know they're going to be crazy comfy! 

2 // I used to live in these when I was younger so when I saw they had come back in style again I knew I had to grab them. I was beyond impressed when I tried them on and realized the uncomfortable, no support sneaker from my youth has now turned into some of the most comfy (and stylish) shoes I own! 

3 // I love a good pair of slide ons for running errands and taking my pup for a walk. I also happen to love the DV line for Target so these are definitely a match made in heaven. 

4 // When I got my first pair of Soludos last year I never thought I'd wear them as much as I do. They are a million times more comfy than I ever thought they'd be and now I want almost every pair!

5 // Like I said previously, you can never go wrong with leopard. Leopard is totally a neutral in my opinion! I am obsessed with these calfhair leopard flats and they're super comfy.
6 //  I wish I could pull off high tops but I just don't think they're for me. These are ridiculously cute though and while they aren't technically flats, a friend of mine has them and says they're crazy comfy!

7 //  Vans are definitely some of my favs, super comfy and they come in a ton of colors. I'm currently loving these and the rose gold ones. Give me all the metallics for spring!

8 // I'm a firm believer that every girl needs a pair of Chuck Taylor's in their closet. They seriously go with anything, jeans, shorts, dresses and they have them in every color under the rainbow. I currently own them in black, white and gray but I'm thinking this spring I need to grab a pretty color like these.
9 // I'm not a huge pink fan but I do love blush accessories. When I saw these I thought blush + suede and they're under $30? Sold!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Happy first day of February loves! I can't believe January is already over, I feel like the first month of the year really flew by. Hoping February slows down just a little so I can stop and appreciate it! This weekend Florida finally got the memo it was winter and we got a nice break from our 80+ degree days. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling the best so my weekend outfits were extremely casual and comfy, not that there's anything wrong with that on the weekend!

Usually I wouldn't even bother to share this outfit, my hair is definitely not done and there's nothing overly stylish about this outfit but you know what, I'm keeping it real and since I only share outfits I actually wear out I figured I might as well! Sometimes fashion isn't always glamorous and you know what? That's ok. Truthfully, I'm just proud of myself for getting out of the house, throwing on some lipstick and just going with it! I wore this outfit out running a few errands and it was perfect for the low 60 degree day. This sweatshirt is one of my favorites, not only is it incredibly soft but it's also a lighter weight material, making it easy to layer and it has a cute slashed neckline. I pretty much live in the Express One Eleven line on the weekends, everything is so soft and comfy! I paired the sweatshirt with some distressed jeans and my Soludos and topped off my "look" with a faux suede baseball cap because I desperately needed to wash my hair :) Like I said, keeping it real here! Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Happy Monday friends! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Mine was a little up and down. If you follow me on Snapchat {pamelanicole84} you might have seen my lack of sleep and stomach issues this weekend which didn't make for the easiest weekend. I've been doing the Whole30 and the entire time I've felt great, no issues, and then on my final weekend my stomach issues started back up again. I don't know whether it's because I cheated a little this past week or if I managed to get a stomach but but either way, it ruined some of my weekend plans and left me with little to no sleep this weekend. But one thing I did manage to do this weekend was the Pro Bowl!

For those who don't know, the Pro Bowl is an NFL all-star game that happens every year where players from teams on the AFC and the NFC play each other. Previous the game has almost always been played in Hawaii but this year, for the first time, it was moved to Orlando so we got to partake in the festivities. 

Before heading down to the Pro Bowl, we met up with Kerri for mimosas and some catching up. After not seeing each other for 3 weeks back in December/early January we made a plan to fit hanging out in whenever we can. After a couple of adult beverages, we headed down to the chaos that was the Pro Bowl. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest, we had previously been having 80+ degree, sunny weather but a cold front moved through so it was cloudy, rainy and cold but we made the best of it. I'd be lying if I said I knew who won though... we definitely left in the 3rd quarter before the game was over. This girl turns into a pumpkin at midnight, sorry. #oldpersonstatus

Hoping everyone has a fantastic week! I'll be back to interviews this week so wish me luck!

Happy Friday babes! This week has been so busy for me it felt like it flew by but I could not be happier it's finally the weekend. With me being short one employee at work and being in meetings more than half the day my schedule has been more than hectic. So I do apologize for my absence in this space this week, I promise things will get back to normal soon... I hope! Today I will be buckling down and spending the entire day in interviews and scheduling interviews so if you don't hear for me, that's why. And trust me, I'm pretty sure I'll be needing a glass of champagne or two by the time I'm done! Any one want to join me? ;) While I'm sitting here counting down the hours until it's finally the weekend, I'm linking up with Amanda to share some of my favorite rose gold pieces!
