Ahhhh, photo shoot today! 
I’m excited, but so incredibly nervous. I got a spray tan and spent a butt-load of money at Lululemon, so I guess I feel prepared!? Eek, I’m soooo nervous! Wish me luck!
My stomach is full of butterflies this morning, so I opted for a light-ish breakfast: 365 Frosted Shredded Wheat, vanilla soy milk, and fresh blueberries.
I love fresh blueberries! 
FYI: They’re on sale at Whole Foods this week.
I also drank a glass of iced coffee with vanilla soy milk and agave nectar.
31 Days of Summer
I totally took this idea from this month’s Self magazine, but I thought it would be fun to my own version on Carrots ‘N’ Cake.
It’s been a yucky summer here in Boston. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve complained about it… a lot. (Sorry!) Since there isn’t much summer left, I’d like to squeeze every last bit of “sunshine” out of each day. I know fun times can’t be forced, but situations can be created where you enjoy yourself and good things will happen.
Here’s how it will work: I will post one summer fun “tidbit” each day of August. If you wish, you can act upon it. By participating, you will hopefully add a tiny amount of sunshine to your final days of summer.
- Example: Sprawl in the grass for a few minutes and daydream. Roll down a hill, if you wish.
Here’s where you come in: I will be accepting summer fun tidbits from now until the end of August to post on CNC. Feel free to send me your favorite tips, tricks, ideas, activities, recipes, quotes, photos, etc. that make you happy and scream summer fun to you. I will post one each day of August.
And, of course, feel free to document your summer fun with photos. I would love to share these on CNC throughout the month of August to inspire us all to enjoy the final days!
CNC Goes to BlogHer Food
As you may remember, I’m attending BlogHer Food in San Fransciso this coming September. Needless to say, I am beyond psyched! And, I am lucky to have an awesome sponsor for it: Nasoya! 
I LOVE Nasoya’s Silken Creations and have raved about them on the blog a number of times, so I was absolutely thrilled when they offered to sponsor me!
Thank you Nasoya for making this trip possible!

Dog person hands down! I didn’t grow up with either but I LOVE dogs bigtime now….especially if they’ll roll around with me!
hey girl! okay here is my summer fun tip which i love to do…very simple, but i love it. i just pour some iced water or iced tea into a pretty tumbler, grab a magazine, and sit outside on my back porch. i promise it will make you smile, just being outside for a few minutes
good luck with your photo shoot today!!!
Have fun at the photoshoot…how exciting!
I am definitely a dog person…it doesn’t help that my cat is completely possessed and demonic, lol! I love the fact that a dog is always so happy to see you and be with you…it’s the best kind of unconditional love!
You shouldn’t be nervous, you’re fantastic!! The photo shoot will be fabulous, have fun!
I’m definitely a dog person. I have 2!
What is the photo shoot for? I’ve been reading your blog every day…how did I miss it? Lol! Have fun!
What a great idea of the summer things! I’ll definitely try to participate!
I’m definitely a dog person. Good luck on your photo shoot today!
Dog person all the way!! It doesn’t help that I am allergic to cats, so…
Good luck! You’ll do wonderfully!
Definitely a dog person! Have a blast at the photo shoot – what an amazing experience! You will be great!!
I am both, even though I’m allergic to cats! Now I know. ; )
Don’t make me choose! I love both cats and dogs!
Good luck and have fun at the photo shoot! Don’t forget what Tyra says…smile with your eyes!
good luck on your photo shoot!!!!!!!!
I’m a total dog person!! I always had both growing up but I have no real interest in having a cat at this point. My BF and I are apartment hunting right now and I promised to hold off on the dog idea for a couple more years, since the places allowing pets around here are generally not nearly as nice as the rest.
doggie! i’m allergic to cats.
Oooh…so jealous you are going to blogher food and sponsored no less! That sounds like a great opportunity. I love San Francisco. I am sure you will have a great time.
Tina – If you plan any blog reader get together when you are in San Francisco, then let us know! I live in the Bay Area and it would be great to meet some other readers in the area!
Total cat person. I like dogs, and would consider having one if I had a house with a yard, but I still prefer cats. Much more independent.
I love your placemats! I’m a cat person but own two dogs… blame the husband
I love Zooey Deschanel and bought this month’s Self purely for that article!
I’ve read the blog for ages, but never commented before. I had to though, as a former Bostonian now living in San Francisco! I just relocated at the beginning of June and would also love if there was a get together so that I could meet some more people in the area!
