My food cravings are so random sometimes.
A few hours after breakfast (overnight oats + iced coffee) this morning, my taste-buds wanted something cool, sweet, and creamy, but also crunchy and salty. There were lots of competing cravings, but I just went with it. So, for lunch today, I ended up pairing a banana smoothie with kale chips. It was random, yet nutritious and delicious.
The banana smoothie was easily the highlight of the meal. In the mix:
- 1 container of plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup Almond Breeze
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 3-4 ice cubes
On the side, I enjoyed a big batch of kale chips.
I loaded on the sea salt today! 😉
So, I have to show you guys my most recent purchase because I’m a bit obsessed with it. I’m also obsessed with Etsy, in general, so I figured I’d share. I know a lot of you love Etsy, too! 😉
After seeing Katie from goodLife {eats} with an adorable strap on her camera at the Thermador Blogger Weekend, I just had to have one, too. I asked her where she got it and she directed me to August Blossoms on Etsy.
August Blossoms had a ton of different styles to chose from, but I ended up getting the exact same strap as Katie. I love the design as well as the lens pocket. I’m always misplacing mine, so this was a key selling point for me.
How adorable is this camera strap?! I’m in love.

That camera strap is SO cute. I will definitely need to invest in one of those once I get a DSLR. Hopefully that will be soon. 🙂
I love the design of the camera strap but wouldn’t have any use for the cap pocket ever since I bought “cap keepers” for all my lenses. They are only a couple of dollars and you never have to worry about losing a lens cap again. You can get them on Amazon or in any photo store.

Yummy, caramel! I love it, especially on popcorn or in those little Werther’s thingies! =D
Random eats that follow your cravings are the best- you get exactly what you want! 🙂
What a cute camera strap! I haven’t bought anything from Etsy yet…..I get overwhelmed when I’m on that site. I guess it’s better if you know what you’re looking for? 🙂
how adorable is that strap!??!

your smoothie looks great!! I have never had kale chips, and I have been seeing them on more sites…it will have to go on my list of things to try for school!! great camera strap too!!

One of my friends just told me about Etsy! I love the fact that everything on there is so unique and you can find some really good deals.
Etsy rocks! So does that camera strap. 🙂
That camera strap adds a little style.
Etsy has everything! Love the camera strap
I love that camera strap….sooo cute!! And that banana smoothie sounds ahh-mazing!
I wish I could find kale more easily here in Austalia! I’ve only found it once in recent months, and it cost $3 for a tiny bunch. 🙁
The camera strap is adorable! And the lens pocket makes it extra convenient!
Random meals are awesome! But it’s not always random – you just have to listen to your body 🙂
Wei-Wei
Smoothie = yummy and kale chips even better! I also adore your camera strap! The lens pocket is super helpful! I always worry I’m going to misplace mine too! Especially when I’m really into something I’m photographing and forget what I’m doing with things that I have. Hahaha! Thanks for this post. I love random eating! 😀
How funny! I recently sewed a very similar camera strap cover for my own Canon XS. The lens cover pocket is brilliant, though. I guess it’s time for an upgrade on my strap cover.
everyone would love to have some summer activity because it is always fun and lively “
when summer comes, our summer activity ranges from kayaking to mountain climbing and also hiking too `,-
forums that are on the exact same subjects? Many thanks!
