PRP Therapy and My Sexy Cankle

January 15, 2016 By Laura

I don’t have a #strangebutgood recipe for you today.

Cankles are a good excuse, no?

Vegas and I came down from Big Bear and went directly to the doctor. I didn’t get injured – this time it was planned. Remember when I was going to be an American Ninja Warrior? Then I sprained my ankle so badly I couldn’t walk properly for weeks? Turns out it wasn’t just a sprain.

My ankle has been bothering me ever since, but it got really bad last spring when I was playing ball. I tried acupuncture, heat therapy, rest… nothing seemed to work. Next step was an MRI. The MRI showed that what I THOUGHT was a sprain was actually torn ligaments. Since I didn’t know what I’d done, I didn’t heal it properly. My choices now are either dealing with pain, surgery, or PRP therapy.

Vegas has been waiting on me all day since I can’t walk – she even made me a Greek yogurt bowl with a green M&M! (You know what the green ones mean 😉 )

Skiing, Snowboarding, and Brusing [WIAW]

January 13, 2016 By Laura

I can ski pretty well.

I was one of those 6 year olds on the slopes.

While I grew up skiing, I never wanted to try to snowboard. I don’t get to the snow very often and when I do, I don’t want to spend my time ~~falling~~ trying to learn something else.

Vegas and I are in Big Bear right now. I spent day 1 skiing while she spent the day in snowboarding school. I had a blast shooting down double blacks and navigating a few moguls.

Catalina Island Anniversary Trip

January 4, 2016 By Laura

Vegas and I have been married for 1 year and 2 days.

That’s 1 year and 2 days longer than I ever thought I’d be married.

Neither of us ever really wanted to be married… so we make sure to celebrate it regularly! For our one year anniversary, Vegas surprised Lucie and I with a day trip to Catalina Island….

Palm Springs Shennagins + WIAW

December 30, 2015 By Laura

I’m kidnapping a Swiss girl.

And not just because she makes me breakfast.

Lucie and I have been entertaining Vegas for the past few days. I can’t remember ever having a more #strangebutgood Christmas. We opened presents a day early so that we could abscond to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree for Christmas.

I couldn’t let them go without anything Christmas morning though. I had the honor of giving Lucie her first Christmas stocking!

Homemade Fun + WIAW

December 9, 2015 By Laura

We’re super handy over here lately.

Don’t get used to it.

We’ve been hard-core decorating for Christmas. Vegas made a wreath for our front door and has lined the entire living room with Christmas lights. She’s threatening to leave them up all year. We’re so Southern… but at least they’re all white! 😉

I’ve been baking, working on a wine cork wreath, and brewing up some more kombucha. My scoby is HUGE! I decided to make it seasonal with the blood oranges we found at Whole Foods (where else?) this week. I ordered my scoby on Amazon – I love it so much that I featured in Monday’s gift guide post. Who wants a puppy when you can have a scoby?

Our Fridge Is Empty & Our Tree is Full [WIAW]

December 2, 2015 By Laura

It’s Christmas time!

Didn’t we JUST have Thanksgiving?

We made it back from our travels in one piece Monday night, but I feel like a zombie now. How is it already December?

Did you start holiday shopping yet? I did a little t-shirt shopping in South Carolina ~~for me~~. The people at the gym today loved my Furman University shirt.

Week in Review: Whirlwind Trip to Vegas

November 9, 2015 By Laura

We all know about what happens in Vegas.

That’s never actually worked for me.

What happens in Vegas typically stays with me. I marry it, Instagram it, or post about it.

And that leads me to my very first submission to Meghan’s Week In Review.

Vegas and I spent a long weekend in Vegas. It started a little something like this:…

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Recap + WIAW

October 14, 2015 By Laura

Food can be a powerful healer.

Funny, since it can also make you sick.

Vegas and I decided to try out an anti-inflammatory diet for a couple of weeks to see if it would relieve some muscle problems we’ve been having. She get cramps and achey feet and I have a ankle/Achilles that refuses to heal. My fingers have also been hurting too. 32 is too young for arthritis… right?
