To say I’m not mentally prepared for this week’s episode is an understatement. We all know some major Luke P drama is coming, Hannah decided to keep Jed despite all the major red flags from his family at hometowns, and I fear my little Peter’s heart might be getting smooshed soon (even though I read a slightly disappointing article about him regarding his last relationship yesterday and now I’m convinced Tyler is the only unproblematic contestant left on this season).

bachelorette live blog: hannah b, week 7

Hello! Time for more of my Bachelorette thoughts – I’d apologize for not getting a post up last week, but since the episode itself ended up being a recap… there just wasn’t much to say, other than continuing to state the obvious, which is that Luke is crazy and physically incapable of taking ownership for any of his actions. We’re all stuck wondering why the heck this psycho is still here, and we all know it’s only about to get worse from here.

vegan taco stuffed sweet potatoes!

June 19, 2019June 18, 2019by The Southern SoonerLeave a Comment

Happy Wednesday, y’all! I’m super excited about today’s post because this is my first original recipe! I know this concept of taco stuffed sweet potatoes is nothing new, but it’s one of the first recipes I thought up on my own without referencing another recipe. It turned out pretty well, so I knew I had to share!

Sorry I never posted last week – I just felt like the drama ended up being so redundant and painful that there really was only so much I could say, so I really didn’t have much unique input for Week 4’s episode. BUT I am back with more live thoughts to these ridiculous episodes! Hannah is still our queen, even though I hate that she can’t get her head out of Luke P’s charm.

what I’m meal prepping this week

June 10, 2019June 10, 2019by The Southern SoonerLeave a Comment

These last few weeks have been crazy with traveling, partial weeks due to holidays or weather… but I’m finally getting back on my meal prepping train – and lemme tell ya, it’s much needed. I’ve missed having a routine with both meals and exercise – I’m trying out a barre class tonight and I’m really excited about it! It’s been a while since I’ve done barre so it’ll be fun to incorporate into my summer fitness routine.

your opinion of me is none of my business

June 7, 2019by The Southern SoonerLeave a Comment

Okay, so the title feels a little harsh with it being the first thing you’re seeing and all, but you read me right – your opinion of me is none of my business. Furthermore, someone else’s opinion of you is none of your business. And yes, if you’re thinking that sentiment sounds familiar, you would be correct because I definitely spend a lot of my days reciting Rachel Hollis quotes to myself like there’s no tomorrow. Sometimes we all need a dose of blunt wisdom. Be warned, this post is pretty much an ode to Rachel Hollis quotes.
