What I have been up to?

HAPPY Sunday to all my lovely blog followers! Can you believe tomorrow is OCTOBER? Where has this year gone? But like everyone else - I absolutely LOVE fall - I am so happy that NC gets a beautiful fall season! :) Yesterday marked the end of our "festival" month at work - all of our events were HUGE successes - especialy ours from yesterday that took place in Uptown Charlotte. I was in Miami most of last week for work (no work trips for another 2 weeks thank the lord) and it was so beautiful! I know I have been MIA lately but I am planning to be back on my blog roll this whole week. Just wanted to share my latest pictures from these past couple of weeks!

What's in my Purse??

Happy Wednesday everyone!! I am currently getting over a bad cold/flu? I was bedridden most of Monday and yesterday but thankfully I got antibiotics and feel much better today since I am traveling to Miami for work this afternoon! I posted this video on my YouTube channel over the weekend - it is a what's in my purse tag video! 


stay tuned for my weekend update :)

My week so far via - INSTAGRAM!

well - lets be real here - all the pictures I ever post are from instagram - oops. Do you guys mind? Would you prefer pictures from a digital camera? I just use my iPhone since it is so much easier and convenient PLUS I personally do not mind when other blogs just use instagram pictures! anywhooo - I have been posting so many #instafood pictures that I am starting to feel like a food blogger - sorry I just really like food. 

On Monday - I had to put on my best business suit and head to a networking reception for an organization my company just joined - it went pretty well & after I decided to stop by a boutique I had always admired - they had SUCH cute jewelry & I could not pass up this rose gold bracelet with three studs - if you haven't noticed - I have quite the sick obsession with rose gold. 


Photobucket

After my reception - I headed to Nordstrom to meet my mom - I had been wanting to return these pair of tory burch flats I had never worn & I ended up picking this bad boy up - it is FLAWLESS. I can't wait to get more!! 


Photobucket
 

After the mall  - I picked up some food for me and my mom at Brio - have you guys ever been there? It is a really good Italian restaurant chain (obviously not as good as luciano's) but they have this amazing salad called the Tuscan Harvest Chicken Salad - it has mixed greens, chicken, cranberries, apples, gorgonzola cheese, mushrooms and almonds - dear lord its AMAZEBALLS. & I get it with the red wine vinagrette. 

Photobucket

Tuesday after work and some cardio at the gym - I decided to brave Whole Foods - the first one just opened in charlotte about 2 weeks ago and it has been unbearable but the craziness has died down a lot and it is seriously the largest/nicest whole foods I have ever been to! I purchased a lot of goodies - I meant to film a grocery haul but I was so hungry by the time I got home, I didn't even bother lol! 

I made this heirloom tomato salad with crumbled goat cheese, some chopped up shallots, olive oil & lots of pepper - oh my god - it was divine. 

Photobucket

I have been having a hard time winding down at night and going to bed at an appropriate time - this tea is so wonderful - it is pretty floral but I love it - it is so relaxing! 

Photobucket

 Yesterday for lunch - my sister suggested the cheesecake factory & I guess I hadn't been there in a long time - they have a full menu that is called the skinnylicious menu - right up my alley!! They offer a variety of appetizers, pizzas, salads, drinks, and entrees all under 600 calories! At 350 calories - these chicken lettuce wraps Mediterranean style were SOOOO good! definitely recommend going to try this menu if you have a cheesecake factory near you!

My hair keeps getting lighter and lighter with every wash - I guess that is what you get for highlighting your hair since you were 17 #fail

So happy today is thursday - going to go to the Greek Festival here in town after work!

Weekend Re-cap & a recipe!

To say that I barely did anything this weekend is an understatement - I literally left our condo once all weekend! I wanted to have a chill/relaxing weekend because today marks the beginning of the craziest month at work ever. We have our major events for our Mexican Independence Day Festivals for two weekends in a row and then our Hispanic Heritage event in uptown Charlotte at the end of the month - mix in 2 national sales market trips to NYC & Miami = BUSY PAM! As usual - I may not be posting that much during the month but keep up with me via instagram (pamelaisanchez) & Twitter! @yesitis_kevin !

Friday - we went to a work happy hour with our coworkers - it was so much fun! We went to a mexican restaurant close to the office - I had this amazing sangria/margarita drink! 

 Photobucket

After - my sister and I started watching American Horror Story - dear god - this show is seriously amazing! If you like scary movies and ghost tv shows - this show is for you! I only have 2 episodes left to catch up! Definitely recommend this show!  Saturday - I caught up on some much needed sleep & watched more of my show.

Yesterday was spent with the family. I had a good workout at the gym in the afternoon and then my dad made this amazing pasta with sausage and fresh pomodoro sauce (yea we like to cook). 

Photobucket


I wanted to share one of my favorite healthy meals - so easy to make & so delicious! 
Brown Rice Bowl with scrambled eggs & veggies 

Photobucket

1) I scramble 2 eggs in Pam cooking spray 
2) microwave the one minute brown rice packets 
3) saute any vegetables you may want! I chose mushrooms & asparagus
4) Mix all together and add fresh cut avocado 
5) I like to add sirracha sauce for added spice! 

Hope you all have a great Monday & week! :)

Friday!

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY! 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! So happy it is Friday - even though I really do not have any plans except spending time with the family - sometimes those turn out to be the best weekends! 

Today was my last day as a panelist for the Charlotte Observer - the last question was pretty easy but we all answered the same thing! LOL - You can read it here if you are interested :) Since I do work for a media company - I had a press pass for the stadium yesterday but since Obama's speech was moved from the Panther's stadium to inside of TWC arena - I couldn't go :( I would have had to be there at like 3 PM to get in & I didn't end up leaving the office until 7 so that definitely did not work. Fortunately - HD CNN does exist and we watched everything in our living room - no crowds, no rain, no standing & most importantly - go to watch it with some wine and in PJs! 

I definitely do not want to get into politics on my blog - it is pretty clear if you follow me on instagram/twitter on who I will be voting for but for me - the most important thing is to VOTE! It is our right and our RESPONSIBILITY as americans to go out there and exercise our rights that MANY people on this planet do not have! :)

Thursday Randoms

Even though it is only a four day work week - it seems to be going slow - maybe its because of the horrible weather Charlotte has been having! We had quite the hectic day at work yesterday but a day that started off badly ended up well - we ended up having an amazing meeting with one of our HUGE  national clients! Yay! Also - I forgot to take a picture but I had the BEST grilled squid salad at a Thai restaurant for lunch - yum!

I wanted to share something exciting for me career wise! I was chosen to be a panelist for the Charlotte Observer during the Democratic National Convention - so everyday, I have been giving my opinion on a separate issue. My last one is today, I am kind of sad - it is definitely exciting to see my name and picture in the paper and also online! (online doesn't have my picture) - You can find my opinions so far HERE, HERE & HERE! :)
