Pilar in the Pantry: Healthy Foods

Hello Everyone!


I'll be the first to admit I'm not this major health fanatic, but I do like to eat healthy.  For today's Pilar in the Pantry post I wanted to focus on healthy foods primarily fresh fruit and 100% pure juices.

You may remember that I mentioned that I have chronic allergy and sinuses problems, so watching what I eat is important. There are certain fruits and vegetables that I can't eat due to food allergies, but for the healthy things I can eat I incorporate in my diet.


I recently started drinking these Seminole Pride Noble 100% juices in March. These juices are 100% pure juices which is supposed to be healthier for you. I won't lie these juices are a little on the expensive side. I've only seen them at Publix and the juices cost $3.99 per bottle. I try to catch these juices on sale (buy one get one free) and you'll save money.  The juices in the picture were on sale last month. 


This juice is so good. It has the perfect blend of Clementine and Tangerine. I love how these juices tastes sweet and flavorful without making me feel sluggish.


If you're more an orange juice person, I recommend this Tangerine Juice. It doesn't taste like traditional orange juice, but it's pretty close in my opinion. 


I've eaten a lot of tangerines and water for lunch and snacks. These tangerines are Halos.


More tangerines and I added some grapes.


Honestly I never saw the hype about Cranberry Juice Cocktail. I think it's really sweet and I just don't like it lol. I think that 100% pure cranberry juice tastes much better. I usually keep bottles of the juice in the pantry. Also if you ever get an UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) this is juice you're supposed to drink, NOT the cocktail juice.


I know this isn't technically fresh fruit, but I've also started back eating Pineapples. I don't really buy freah Pineapples, but my favorite brand of  canned pineapples are from Dole.


So delicious!



Yesterday I picked up seedless grapes and bananas. 


Freshly washed seedless grapes



Last, but not least I try to drink several bottles of water daily. It's not uncommon to find me with a bottle of water somewhere near me lol. Having allergies and sinuses problems, water is a must in my life!


What are some healthy fruits and juices that you incorporate into your diet?

My Life in March 2017

Hello Everyone!


Not a lot went on during March, but I still managed to do a monthly lifestyle post lol. I did some homeade cooking (no surprise), and tried some new health foods as well.

Selfies


I took this picture two weekends before Spring.  It snowed in some areas of South Carolina, but I only saw freezing rain lol.


This is one of my favorite makeup looks. It's so girly and elegant



Still cold outside lol


Random bathroom selfie


Have you ever taken a picture and realize how much you look like one or both of your parents? I swear I look just like my mom on this picture lol :)


Oversized comfy pajamas and t-shirt. Bedtime selfie


One of my favorite Sundresses 


Foods


Homeade Lasagna Prep


My Homemade Crockpot Lasagna


I ate a lot of fruit (particularly tangerines) during March. I plan on doing a healthy food and drink post soon.


I swear Walmart's Deli makes the best macadamia nut cookies!


Miscellaneous 


Items my friend Julia sent me (see post the Kindness of Friends)



The first day of Spring. What better purse to carry than my Lavender Hello Kitty Embossed Bag?!


March 21st was National Fragrance Day. Versace Bright Crystal is one of my favorite fragrances. 


I was having insomnia one night, so I decided to post a late night makeup post on IG.
