Take a healthy approach to November with a Turkey Trot! This year my BFF and I will not only be participating in our first Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, but it’s also our first 10k!

How to Prep For A Turkey Trot
Turkey Trots happen all over, just look and find which one is closed to you and sign up ASAP. We signed up in September to prepare ourselves for it. The one we are doing in Michigan comes with a T-Shirt and a Medal.

Convince friends, family or a significant other to race with you. It’s awesome motivation when you don’t have to run alone!

A little prep never hurt. Running a 5k or 10k add a walk or light jog to your schedule to help you through the race.
The outfit. I don’t know about you but we’ll be throwing something super cute together for our Turkey Trot, check out a sneak peek with the tutu tutorial tomorrow!
Day of…. Eat a light, healthy breakfast. We like a banana to prevent cramping and yogurt or eggs.
We’ll be keeping you updated all month long on how we’re doing with the race and we hope you’ll join us in running a Turkey Trot no matter where you live!

Zoya recently released Matte Velvet their winter/holiday collection. The collection channels my childhood where the holidays consisted of velvet dresses and my braid or ponytail adorned with a velvet ribbon. The collection consist of six glitter matte polishes – so let’s check them out….

Amal is a classic Christmas red with ruby red glitter.
 
Sue is a champagne cream with flecks of pearl and gold glitter that’ll have you ready to top the cork
Aspen is a sparkling arctic white with diamond pearl flecks.

Iris is a deep purple with subtle flecks of pink glitter.

Peanut Butter Freezer Fudge

I don’t know about you, but I have a serious sweet tooth that I need to keep in check sometimes. So when it kicked in this weekend I went for something healthier (to make it even healthier I used Mighty Nut Powdered Peanut Butter – which has easily become my new favorite way to enjoy peanut butter since it really cuts calories way down) with the perfect amount of sweet and deliciousness.

Peanut Butter Freezer Fudge
Ingredients:
8 tablespoons Mighty Nut Powdered Peanut Butter Vanilla
6 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons coconut oil, softened or melted
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions:
1. Combine the powdered peanut butter and water together.
2. Add coconut oil and maple syrup to peanut butter.
3. Mix until no lumps remain.
4. Pour fudge into a container lined with parchment paper.
5. Place in the freezer for at least 1 hours to let the fudge set
6. After the fudge has completely hardened, remove from freezer.
7. Using a sharp knife cut the fudge into squares (I did 8).
8. Place the fudge into a container of individual baggies.
9. Store in the freezer until ready to eat.

I’m not a huge fan of chain restaurants. I tend to go for local favorites in new towns or my hometown. The White Horse Inn restaurant was established in 1850. It closed for a little while a new owner took over and renovations happened. The restaurant reopened last fall and recently one of my friends highly recommended that I take the trip out to Metamora to try it. The inside is decked out in horses, Edison bulbs and old time treasures – while outside you can take a horse drawn carriage ride and in the winter the carriage ride becomes a sleigh ride.
