Recipe: Head Banging Smoothie

~ Harper220 ~ 1 Comment

I can’t believe it myself, but it is the last day of Smoothie Scentral Week.  That flew by didn’t it? I hope you have been inspired to up your smoothie game and try some of these or make up your own recipes. All you need is a blender and your fav bits and pieces to pop in there. It is healthy, it is fun and much more cost effective then frequenting your local smoothie juice bar. So for the final day, I had to share a banging smoothie! Since I also did a tutorial on my Snapchat account (username blissbakery) I had to have the perfect musical accompaniment. Which also inspired the name of this super delicious liquid awesomeness!

Recipe: Smoothie Scentral

~ Harper220

Hello to all of you including those of you who might be suffering from a “Holiday Hangover”. You know that feeling, going back to work the day after New Years with the added guilt placed upon us about our over indulgences. Well our celebrations were fun while they lasted but who says you have to go on a DIET?  I for one try to avoid things with the word DIE in it!  I like to LIVE it!  So you won’t be getting a clean eating regimen or a workout routine from me, but I do have a little surprise.

Lasting Sounds

~ Harper220 ~ 4 Comments

Here we are on the last day of 2017.  I couldn’t let this opportunity pass without wishing you a Happy New Year and sharing a post.   I’ve always felt that it’s a good thing to honor the past year before moving on to the next.  Whether it is savoring the memories and reflecting on all the good that’s happened or finding ways to learn from the pain and struggles.  There are a myriad of ways to do that, but I decided when I first started this blog to focus on a different perspective each year.  On New Year’s Eve in 2015 I focused on lasting words, and in 2016 on lasting images.  I’ve chosen to call this end of the year reflection “Lasting Sounds”.

Wine Not Make a Wreath?

~ Harper220

Wine and Wreaths. Yep, that is what I’m talking about today!  If you’re like many folks during this “twixmas” (the time between Christmas and New Years) you’ve got some time on your hands and maybe you’ve even been doing a fair bit of imbibing.  If your drink of choice is wine, that means you have plenty of wine corks left over.  Unless you like box o wine. Then you can just skip along past this blog post.  Continue reading →

Havana a Ball!

~ Harper220

I couldn’t help the play on words when I came up with the title for this blog post about our trip to Havana.  I could have titled this “Havana a Laugh” but to be honest our trip wasn’t all fun and games.  But bottom line we did have a ball in Havana.  While we were there for the Havana Film Festival, seeing on average three films per day, we did squeeze in some sightseeing. It really is a fascinating place, with a rich history and culture. Continue reading →
