Juggling Goals: From FBLA Triumphs to Gluten-Free Adventures!
Good morning guys it is literally 44 a.m. and I just woke up don’t mind to messy here because I have fpla today if you don’t know what fpla is it is future Business Leaders of America and um it’s it’s a club that I’m in it’s a high school club but the district’s competition is today and I’m going to.
Get ready for it so I’m up super early because I have to be at a college in at 7:30 so get ready with me first I’m going to go pack my lunch so that I’m ready um so let’s do that let be super quiet cuz no one else is up yet though okay so I’m going to show you guys a super cool hack so as you know.
I’m glutenfree and I make my own sandwich bread and I freeze it and I usually take it out the night before and set it in the fridge so that it can thaw overnight and be ready in the morning but guess what last last night I didn’t put any bread out so I didn’t have any bread for a sandwich this morning so I just took a gluten-free tortilla and put.
Some peanut butter and jam in it and folded it up like a quesadilla and it was fabulous so so good you know crunchy peanut butter is the only way to go and then I added some blueberry jam to that but this is also good with peanut butter and bananas or peanut butter and honey or even like a turkey wrap so just a.
Cool hack that I wanted to share with you guys it is too dark and too early to go for a run so I’m going to hit the elliptical really quick see you guys after a few moments later okay so I just finished my workout I did 35 minutes on the elliptical and um like 10 minutes of arm strength and.
Of course I’m stretching and Mobility now it’s time to get ready and I need to hurry yes I did work out in my pajamas because I am running short on time excuse me unesthetic bathroom um we’re renovating our house and my bathroom’s in the basement so it’s last to go time to get dressed let me show you.
My business outfits so I have a couple of jackets to choose from there’s this tan one or this black one and then I have either the white blouse or the black blouse so I’m going to get dressed and I’m probably going to put some leggings under my pants because it’s cold all right so this is what I went.
With today I did the white shirt and my black pants and I’m sorry guys I’m 410 the amount of effort it took to find business pants that actually fit me is insane I’m going to do this with a black jacket I know you guys can’t see my full body right now sorry and then for shoes I have white flats which I’m probably not going to do or black flats.
Or black heels I think I’m going to end up going with the black flats but yeah now let’s do my hair so as you all can see my hair is a mess um I don’t know if it’s like this is like its natural texture I don’t know if it’s curly or what it’s going on but my mom’s hair is super curly yeah when I brush it.
It gets like that so I’m just going to curl it today with a curling iron because I don’t have time for much else so while I do that let me talk to you about what I’m doing today so basically what I’m is FAA future Business Leaders of America and it’s a club for high school and um you basically do different business events I guess so this year I.
