Does is make me obsessive if I can’t stop with the creamy/crunchy combo?
Pretzels and almond butter
-OR-
Yogurt/blueberry/banana mush WITH CRUNCHY GRANOLA.
Does is make me immature if this text message was the highlight of my week?
Does it make me impatient if I say I AM SO OVER WINTER. The dry skin, and constant static cling alone are enough to make me a hot angry mess.
Silver lining – at least there’s no snow. Knock on wood.
Does is make me lazy if I haven’t made any time to buy a new SD card for my dSLR? I’ve been using my iPhone for all my photos.
Does is make me motivated if I’ve not purchased a treat in…far too long. I’m starting to dream about donuts dancing with sprinkles.
Does it make me earthy if this is my toothpaste? It’s made of…clay.
Does it make me a bad student if I plan to skip class today (something you would have NEVER caught me doing last quarter, learning to be lenient), because I’m too excited about finally going to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery??
Coffee playground here I come.

Brace yourselves for some Instagram photos. Happy weekend!

Almond butter & pretzel sandwich?! You are my hero.
briana1010
I love winter, but the static is really the worst. I can’t wear my hair down for more than 5 minutes before it starts branching out with static like Einstein.
Yes that toothpaste makes you earthy 😛 and you should totally skip class for the Starbucks thing! You have to pay tribute to the thing that gets you through most classes!
bobbyjessica2319
Creamy and crunchy. Yumm. I love sprinkled donuts also.
And for mine, Does it make me lazy if I don’t want to go get ready for work. Hmm. Laying on the floor listening to music is easier. Plus, I work Saturday, so no yay Friday motive. Lol
kathy c.
ugh winter can suck it. i’m so over it and i can’t stand this weather anymore!!!
ingrid
Your posts always make me smile !!! And yessss! Winter suck !
Brittany
🙂 🙂 🙂 thank you!
The Chaos Realm
…hungry! LOL
Amy @ A Desert Girl
I’m excited for your photos of the roasterery. Which, btw, is a fun word. Enjoy!!
Jessica
Firstly…how have I NOT been following you on instagram? (Changing that immediately!)
Your site/social media is like the coffee version of Julie and Julia. (You can’t watch that without food, and you can’t drink coffee without reading your posts!!
Brittany
Umm..BEST comment ever. Ever.
Lauren @ ihadabiglunch
Can that whole “donut on a coffee cup” thing become a thing? You basically warm up the donut and make it even more delicious. Ugh such a perfect Friday treat! That text from your dad is adorable. Aren’t dad texts/emails the best? They’re all so awkward lol. Have a great weekend!
hellotofit
Ahhh that pretzel sandwich!! So much yum. Do you like your fancy camera, and did you have a hard time learning how to use it? I don’t have one but it’s on my list of things to do/get…long-term.
Brittany
I loveeee my fancy camera! I’ve had it for a year now, but don’t use too many crazy settings. I just played with it to figure out a few settings like the ISO and such. It’s a great investment just to have! I mainly use it for food photos haha.
lovehealcook
Does it make me your twin if I use that toothpaste too? What do you think of it?
Brittany
Twins!!! I like it, very mild. I do use a different one in the morning with a more minty flavor. Mentally I like minty in the morning haha.
C. Brooks
So jealous you’re going to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery!! Can’t wait to see pictures.
harveylisam
I will say that it definitely makes you earthy to have that toothpaste. I mean, come on, EARTHpaste? It’s in the name! 😛
Lety C
You are full of energy! and you transmit it so well! I enjoy reading your posts! 🙂
Brittany
Thank you Lety, I always appreciate your comments!! 🙂
di @ life of di.
Creamy + Crunchy = Forever. I can also relate to using my iPhone for the majority of photos I’ve taken as of lately. I didn’t even use my Canon on our trip to NYC! As for me – does it make me crazy to have eaten two sweet potatoes every day for the last week??
Brittany
NO! I ate two sweet taters this morning. In the same meal.
shelikesitfresh
Lol love this post! I have the same obsession with creamy + crunchy. And I’m so ready for winter to be done too!!
The Vegan 8
Omg, so sick of the statis cling too..it drives me bonkers! I like the cool weather (40’s is as cold as I can take it) because I like to bundle up in my robe, but the constant static cling makes me crazy. That donut has me drooling too btw! Totally love the creamy and crunchy combo too!

You are very welcome!!
Karla @ Finding My Fit
that sandwich is BRILLIANT. i’m ready for spring too… it’s so weird to be almost february and have maybe 1/10 an inch of snow on the ground in WI. it either needs to be spring or snow so i can ski!
50statecanuck
Does it make me a bad influence if I tell you to buy yourself a treat ASAP??
Answer: NOPE.
:)))
Brittany
I will second your “NOPE” and I think I may have an opportunity TODAY for a delicious treat.
50statecanuck
WOOHOO!!!
Heather @ HeatherRunsFast.com
That sandwich. Your dad’s awesome. Buy a donut. Brush the sugar from said donut off your teeth with clay. Have SO MUCH FUN at the Reserve Roastery. Does it make me lame/boring/lazy for having the same thing for dinner every night this week?
withsparkles
Yayyyy hurray for Starbucks field trip!!
Does it make me a poser if I have A fake nose ring similar to yours because it makes me feel bad ass and I just LOVEEEE how it looks?
Brittany
HAH. Isn’t the hoop ring just fantastic!?
allieksmith
Have fun exploring while on your Starbucks filed trip! I can’t wait to read all about it and see pictures! I LOL’d at your dad’s text!
pbloverblog
Creamy and crunchy is THE BEST. As are the little trees dotting your eyes. I’ve been slacking on my blogging game, but I’ve been on Instagram, and I am obsessed with your little adventures. Also, I’m a bit over winter too. And I don’t even really get a real winter down here in Texas 🙂
Martha B
Seriously you shouldn’t have started your post with that sandwich. Because I almost had to stop reading and go fix myself one right away. Why did I never think of that????? Looks so good!
Does it make me predictable that 90% of the time if you show up at my house in the winter I am in a bathrobe under a pile of blankets??
Have a great weekend Britt!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
The winter airrrrrrr 😡 We’ve actually been really lucky with the weather this winter and had temps way above freezing for close to two weeks now, but it’s still dry as holy.toledo. My hands look like they belong on an 80 year old grandma, and even my beloved coconut oil isn’t helping. But then… snowboarding. I can’t complain.
kim
That sandwich looks amazing!! Why did I never think to put pretzels on a PB sandwich?! Genius!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West
Does it make me a bad writer if I can’t stop using made-up words like amazeballs?
Amalia
I think all of those things just plain make you wonderful you! And I agree with winter….
asmukti
Doesn’t make us anything. They’re all just labels. Not up to us what we tend to like 🙂 Have a great day!
annieemmy
That toothpaste is just further confirmation that you are a true granola. 😉 Does it make me a bad person for saying that?
Brittany
I embrace my granola ways! 🙂 🙂
herbieontherun
Does it make meeeee…… a dork that I’ve watched the entire first season of 3rd Rock from the Sun on Hulu this week? And laughed my ass off?
Amy
1. NO! Not at all. I’m obsessed with the soft/crunchy combo. Like yogurt and granola. Or fruit crumbles. (I just had one for breakfast.) Seriously amazing!
2. I totally would’ve laughed at that text too! Due to certain health issues right now… That person on the shirt is totally me. Shh don’t tell!
4. Get an external hard drive and you shouldn’t have to get another SD card! (Unless your current one only holds about 16 pictures… Then I can’t really help you.) I have 3 externals (ugh I take way too many pictures!), but they’re a total lifesaver. I don’t get scared whenever I have to erase my memory card anymore!
5. I must be a fatty… We eat donuts at least once a week now. For dessert, not breakfast at least! But it’s our “treat” for making it through the week (or a difficult day). So I’ve totally got your donut dreams covered.
7. NO! Skip chem!! That can wait. And I’m always here for ya to get you caught up! 😉 HAVE FUN FOR ME!!
Brittany
I didn’t fill up the SD card, it just…stopped working? I delete photos after each use so I think it was just an old card! Donuts every week sounds fantastic!
Ellie
Does it make me obsessive to have eaten hummus twice a day for the past week? I think NOT! Have fun at the Starbucks playground!
Luv What You Do
You are certainly not lazy (I’ve seen your hikes, recent food makes, and blog posts) but you might be a wee bit earthy! I love it! I’m about done with winter too but can’t really complain because after last year, this barely feels like winter. Although my dry skin begs to differ : )
Luv What You Do
Oh and…
Does it make me a lush…that I LOVE a glass or two of red wine on Friday night?!
P
Earthpaste, lol! First time I’m seeing that. I’ve only been aware of Tom’s, but I’ll definitely be on the lookout for this.
Maybe you should suggest that your class make a field trip to the roastery…coffee making totally involves chemistry 😉
Brittany
Your idea is brilliant. The coffee I had was legit scientific. A siphon brewer is all science!
midmiocene
Oooo! Earthpaste! Gotta get some!
Actually, I’m not done with winter. We need more rain out here in the west. The only thing I don’t really care for during winter is the biting cold. But I love rainstorms.
Choc Chip Uru
I’m sorry but almond butter and pretzels sounds ridiculously delicious together!
And that granola… hungry now!
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Arman @ thebigmansworld
I think you need to make coffee and a donut on top ‘happen’.
Britta
Oh my lanta! I’m MIA again!!!!! hahahha that text message… THE BEST. I feel like someone would send that to me as well. I just made the worst cup of coffee ever…Bro changed the grind and ow man.. the perc is just shitting the bed with it aka.. I need to add more coffee before brewing. Anyway, thought of you.
I AM SO OVER WINTER TOO!! I want a tan, I want to sit on a patio, I want to go on adventures and I want the rain to stoooooooopppp! Hope you have the best weekend.
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
Does it make me less of an independent woman if I’m missing the Hubby this weekend? I saw him for a couple of hours last night but it’s not the same as having him for the weekend.
I love seeing you be a little more lenient when it comes to school. Good for you.
Mary
I am really lazy with my blog photos and tend to take them on my phone most of the time. Every so often I take some pics on my DSLR and decide I should take all photos with it for a little while before running out of time and becoming lazy again!
willrunforpizza
creamy/crunchy – no. It makes you smart that you can’t get enough of that combo. Where did you find that toothpaste???? Does it taste good? I mean, not that I would be EATING it…but….ya know….
Does it make me lazy if I don’t think I can handle this 2nd job thing and I will probably be quitting WAAAAAAAAY sooner than the 1 year deadline?
Brittany
The toothpaste is very mild. I like using it in the evening, and a stronger minty flavored paste in the morning. QUIT THAT JOB, life is too short to be unhappy!
willrunforpizza
Lol I did! Time to get some clients to train instead! 🙂
Hannah
That pb and pretzel sandwhich is everything! Does it make me earthy if my face wash is…….oat paste?. Cause it is.
An Unrefined Vegan
Did your dad GET YOU that t-shirt?!!
I thought of another odd crunchy/soft food combo I used to swoon over: chocolate ice cream between 2 saltines.
sissyjupe2
My favorite was vanilla ice cream with fritos. Omg. Swoon. That sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy combo….
Brittany
Oh my goodness, that combo sounds SO GOOD.
Aja
Almond butter and pretzels?? That sounds so good! And I am so over winter, too. Is it just me or is January taking forever?
sissyjupe2
Whats your instagram?! I love your upbeat funky writing. Please say you live in SF? I would love to meet you!
Brittany
Thank you, what a nice comment. If you click the red word “instagram” it will take you to my page. I live near Seattle!
Lucie Elizabeth (@CollectingLight)
Crunchy and creamy, ohhhhhhhhhh! Im sat here waiting for dinner to hurry up and be ready and I’m currently drooling over that combo!
jennifer prod
does it make me a neat freak if i’ve been taking two bubble baths a day? i swear sinking into the tub seems like the only way to get warm – it’s so, so cold outside, and hot yoga is off limits for my preggo-self!
jennifer prod
edit- not a neat freak, a mermaid. does it make me a mermaid? yes, i like that much better 🙂
Melanie
The creamy/crunchy combo sounds amazing. Yum! I also love that text, especially since it’s from your dad. That is awesome. I’m sick of winter and my dry skin, I also need to buy a new SD card and have been taking pics on my phone instead and I miss donuts!! Auuughhh! Oh, and I just heard about Redmond stuff last month for the first time. Sounds awesome.
Nicole Marie Story
i’m baaaaaack. 😉
and is that donut vegan because i want it, too!!!!!!!!! xo
Brittany
MY DARLING NICOLE!! Silly question, OF COURSE it’s vegan. Although definitely not as healthy as I’d like…which is why I haven’t had one in MONTHS. Those are once in a while treats. 😉 I have missed you.
Nicole Marie Story
omg I cannot believe I asked that question! what a do do bird! 😀
Khushboo Thadani
OMG that sandwich is ON par…looks divine! Does it make ridic to get out of bed to work out and then get right back in bed after it’s done (and I’ve showered);)!

Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy
Nut butter and a pretzel? I think I just fell in love with that idea!
katalysthealth
Great, now I want a donut. And snow. It was freaking 80 degrees this weekend. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure I would get sick of the cold if it hung around for a while, but seeing as how cold in LA is like 60 degrees, I’m ready for some rain or something!
Shawna
i’m so with you on the crunchy/creamy thing, and on being over Winter…esp since we are about to get pummeled with snow here in NYC. at least i have a snow day scheduled already for tomorrow! 🙂 hmmm does it make me restless if i want a job that lets me travel alllll the time? yep, i think it does. 🙂
Rach @ This Italian Family
Those creamy & crunchy combos look delicious! And I’m with you on being over winter. But then I’m pretty much always over winter after Christmas, haha!
Kristen@saltandpepperthearth.com
Creamy/Crunchy is the way to go, absolutely. You have a really cool job!
Kayse
Do you delete your photos off your camera card using your computer or by formatting it on your camera? Makes a biiiiig difference to camera cards. Love the text from your dad.
Does it make me a crazy cat lady if I spend all my days off with my mom’s new cat?!?! He’s painting inspiration! 😉
Brittany
I’ve always just deleted them while still plugged into my computer once uploaded. The message pops up, “do you want to delete after uploading” and I say yes. Is that what my problem was?? Love your cat inspiration, totally justified. Not that you’d need a reason to spend time with cats! 😉
Kayse
Format your card using your camera!! If you do it from your computer, the card still retains some data from the photos you deleted using your computer.
Crazy cat ladies unite!! 🙂
bena
I love using my Canon T3i. It just gives you so many more options and much more control than using the camera on a phone. It might take a bit more time to go from getting the shot to final image (after editing), but the quality can’t be beat. However, the best camera is always the camera you have on you at the time.
Also, I second Kayse’s comment. Format your card using your camera. It’s the best way to get rid of all the little bits of remaining info. That reminds me, I need to format my card soon. If you want to know any other camera tips that I’ve learned, feel free to ask. 🙂
Does it make me crazy if I love going out at night when it’s -20 Celsius in 1 foot of fresh snow under a full moon and stars to snowshoe? (Such good exercise!)
Brittany
I have the T3i too! As I guess you can see from here, Haha. I just need to fix my card issue. Thanks for the tips, I’ll let you know if I have any questions since you have the same camera. Your exercise sounds magical.
