Today’s just been one of those days. Last night’s homecoming event went until 4am…wayyyy past my bedtime! I had class at 9:35 and hoped to sleep until about 8:40ish, but my body clock had other plans. 7:00am it was! Let’s just say that 3 hours of sleep is NOT enough.
After going to class, going to work, and going back to class until 6:00pm tonight, I’m exhausted. It’s the perfect storm of stressful events this week, and all I wanted to do when I got home was curl up in bed for eight a few hours.
I had a feeling I should check my mail box downstairs in the sorority house when I got home this evening and lo and behold…fan mail!
My sweet friend Erin put this in my box after reading this post. She wrote me a very sweet note, and slipped in a little “Beauty Do” from Glamour Magazine involving none other than the wonder ingredient, coconut! I’m definitely going to have to try this one 
Of course I had to get my daily coconut oil fix… I decided carbs would make everything better so I had some oats with banana, honey and coconut oil for dinner.
It worked! Much better
I’ll leave you with the quote Erin shared with me in her note:
“ To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
Love that. Thanks for making my day, Erin!

Oatmeal for dinner is the best! And I love adding coconut oil too, makes it so creamy!
