I hope you are all having a fun and relaxing summer. My wedding planning procrastination has finally come to a forced end as we are only two months out. We got our invitations, met with our venue to choose a menu, and just sat down and came up with a tentative seating chart! Daniel and I are both procrastinators by nature, so we aren&#8217;t the best planning duo, but things are starting to come together! I will share more as we get closer to the date. Now my number one priority will be to find a dress in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Between all the planning, I found some interesting links this week that you might enjoy:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/food\/wp\/2017\/07\/27\/rip-coke-zero-the-five-stages-of-grief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coke is replacing Coke Zero with a new similar product called Coke Zero Sugar<\/a>. Some people are outraged but I was never a big fan of Coke Zero. Daniel is a Diet Coke loyalist so if I have diet soda it&#8217;s usually that. <\/p>\n<p>Next time you&#8217;re at a birthday party you might want to rethink grabbing for a slice of cake someone just blew all over. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccsenet.org\/journal\/index.php\/jfr\/article\/view\/67217\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blowing out birthday candles increases the bacteria on cake by 1400%<\/a>. (I&#8217;m sharing this with the hope that it grosses people out, leaving more cake for me.)<\/p>\n<p>That extra money spent on takeout or a maid service might have been worth the feeling of laziness. A new study reports that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/07\/27\/science\/study-happy-save-money-time.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spending money on things that save you time makes you happier<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting <a href=\"https:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/when-should-we-eat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article that talks about meal timing<\/a>. The conclusion the author reaches, like most things in the healthy living world, is that it probably doesn&#8217;t matter that much, so do whatever works for you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always fascinated by the diets of athletes. Here is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/iman-shumpert-real-life-diet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBA player Iman Shumpert talking about what he eats<\/a>. He loosens the reigns after the season and said he enjoys &#8220;hot wings, pizza puffs, Italian beef with lots of peppers&#8230;just tearing my stomach up and making it hard for whoever has to use the bathroom after me. That\u2019s my goal in the summer.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friends! I hope you are all having a fun and relaxing summer.
