IZZE Sparkling Juices And A Few Oopsies

Last week, I received a 4-pack of IZZE sparkling juices.

Included in the box were four flavors: Clementine, Blackberry, Grapefruit, and Pomegranate.

IZZE sparkling juices are contain real fruit juices and have no caffeine, refined sugars, or artificial flavors. Out of the flavors IZZE provided me, I liked the Grapefruit best as it tasted the most like its natural fruit. The Clementine flavor was my second favorite because it wasn’t too sweet and was lightly flavored. I found both the Blackberry and Pomegranate flavors to be much too sweet; however, I think they’d be great with a splash of vodka! ;)

In addition to the samples, I received a coupon for a free 4-pack of IZZE or IZZE esque, which is their low-calorie option. The regular IZZE bottles contain 150 calories per bottle, and IZZE esque only has 50. Their IZZE esque flavors are

watermelon
black raspberry
limon
watermelon

Which flavor should I buy? Decisions, decisions!

In other news, I am still the clumsiest, most accident-prone individual I know. In the past 3 days, I have managed to:

burn my arm on the oven while making pizza on Sunday
stick my hand in a pot of boiling water to pull out the corn on the cob….what!?
get a paper cut at work today
cut my hand with my brand new ~~weapon~~ knife this evening
fly off the treadmill at the gym!

Let’s talk about that last one. Tuesday night, Mariah and I did an awesome strength training workout and were finishing up with some cardio. I had just turned my speed up to 8.0 and for some reason, my phone (pandora!) went flying. Instead of turning off the treadmill, I jumped to the side and retrieved my phone. Already flustered, I forgot that my treadmill was on 8.0 when I decided to jump back on towards the back. NOOOOOO!! Instead of running like this guy…

I just skidded right off onto my shins. I instantly bruised and cut my leg. OOPS. I was just thinking the other day that I was surprised that this hadn’t happened before. Why am I such a mess!?!? A lot of people tell me I need to “slow down” but ugh, I have things to do! Ha ha.

Are you extremely clumsy or accident-prone? It’s pretty standard for me to walk into things, burn myself, and drop things on a daily basis. I just have to laugh it off and remember this quote:

XOXO!

Why I Have Issues, Round 1

Trust me when I say that there will be a round 2. And maybe a 3 and 4. I am a strange chick.

1. I get an obscene amount of magazines each month. In just one day, I received four.What’s worse, when I stopped at Publix for just flour, I picked up another because I couldn’t resist the cover.

2. I get wayyyyyyy too excited about new food finds. I nearly peed my pants (dress?) when I saw the four new Fage Greek yogurt flavors. If you look really closely, you can see my tongue sticking through my teeth. I am that excited.

new flavors: strawberry goji, cherry pomegranate, blueberry acai, mango guanabana00

3. Every single time I bake, I have some sort of a fail. A burn. A cut. A slice. I dropped this. I splattered that. I broke a utensil. It’s always a surprise. On Friday, I baked these swirled blondies for Amanda’s birthday. In an attempt to easily cut the bars, I thought flipping them out of the pan seemed like a good idea. Okay, NO. I dropped a chunk of them on the floor.

4. I spend too much time at Chick-fil-A. Not that there can be such a thing…but…I went there twice today. It wasn’t my first time doing a double-drop-in either. They know me by name, they slap me five…do they worship me? I got this facebook comment from Caroline today:

OF COURSE it was me!

5. I cannot do anything without making a mess. While looking for my passport, I destroyed my bedside table drawers. Hurricane Xtina at her best.

6. I actually cannot dress myself. I don’t know how to match articles of clothing to make an outfit. I seek out fashion advice from my awesome blogger friend, Holly. She was so kind and made me a collage of ideas on how to wear my peach sequin skirt. I love her for this!
