Happy First Birthday To My Blog!!!!

I cant believe I forgot that I have 2 birthdays this year and this week.

Today is my One Year Birthday of this Blog!!!



I started this blog on this day a year ago. I started it just to write about my life of running, weight watchers, and just living my life sparkling every day. This blog I think really has saved me. I went to college for writing, but after college, fell away from it a lot, then I had a lot of people reach out and say I should start one.

James bought me a new computer to get me started and I just took it from there. In a year time, I have written 422 posts, just about anything and everything. I did a whole cap of Women's Running, my run streak of December, life events, vacations, all the recipes I made or enjoyed, my Nook Books I was reading, which I need to get back too, my shopping trips and my favorite items.

I got deeper than I thought I would with my writing about my dad. I wrote about he has impacted my running more now than when he was alive. Even though at times it really hurt me, I wrote it out and felt so much better. Oh and now I am documenting my whole journey of Marathon Training.

My blog is a work in progress. I make mistakes, I don't write the best grammar wise, sometimes my post don't make any sense and they can tend to be a flop, but as always it is 100% me. This is who I am and who I am also becoming.

Thank you to everyone who has read my blog this past year. The comments you have made or sharing my posts and just following along through my journey in my life. It means the world to me.

Happy Birthday to Run.Chew.Sparkle. it has been one heck of a year and I cant wait to see where I am taking this blog for the years to come!!!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
