hi all! Hope you’re enjoying your week!
I’ve been getting back into my routine this week
although that can be tough around the busy holiday season!

If you missed my initial #BeGenerous Post,
Myself & The Eat Clean Diet Team are providing guest posts all December long on Tosca Reno’s website!

The fabulous Christine & I collaborated to bring to you a way you can #BeGenerous
with some POWER COOKIES & a cute printable tag you can print along with them!

So head on over to Tosca’s blog & check out our post!

I also wanted to #BeGenerous and offer a Giveaway thanks to ChapStick® !

Obviously I was dressed to run around & do some errands
& the ChapStick® has the new design which is perfect for clipping onto my side bag!

To enter the giveaway, I asked that you submitted a way you are being generous!

All of the submissions were so great but the winner today is Tamara!

She even sent proof with this awesome picture on Instagram!

Check out all of those beanie babies!!
Way to go Tamara!

Thank you to everyone who entered & shared their story!

With that all being said, I am going to be generous to myself while my family is in
& take a little break from the computer!

I love what I do, but sometimes I think it’s healthy to take a break & focus on family!

My brother is actually getting married this SUNDAY & we are so excited!
We are in full wedding mode over here + family being in from out of town + christmas

= we are very busy!

I am going to take a little break so I can focus on my loved ones & this special time in our lives!

My brother Philip & I are super close.
I am so happy for him because he is truly marrying his best friend of 10 years, Angela!

Isn’t she beautiful!?

Toni, her sister, is her maid of honor!

My family adores her.
Left: 88 year old Aunt Rita (she’s amazing), Aunt Kel (my mom’s sister,
me (aka powerckaes), Angela, my grandma (nanny), & mamacakes!

Philip & Angela are high school sweet hearts & she is like the sister I never head.

We are all so excited to celebrate this marriage as a family & this holiday together!

We have a bunch of prep this weekend to get ready for Sunday
& I will definitely be sharing via Instagram, Twitter, & Facebook! duhhh.

I hope you all enjoy your Holiday & keep an eye out next week for my return!

Happy Holidays & remember to #beTRUEtoYOU!!!!
