It is a rare occasion when I feel the need to spoil myself. Now when I say spoil I don't mean the random bowls of cereal at night or the extra banana I had in the afternoon that I once considered a "treat. Honestly its such a silly concept to consider indulgence of anything healthy as something bad. But when I say spoiled I'm talking about the days when all I want to do is put on some of that expensive cinnamon roll scented extra thick lotion on my legs, watch all the recordings of Project Runway and make myself something special in the kitchen. Waking up in such a negative attitude and an empty calender week I made the decision to take full advantage of the day and "spoil" myself. With Project Runway on play I got creative with some of my favorite flavors and came up with quiet a work of art..
Lemons, Soaked Cashews, Vanilla Extract, Water, Agave Nectar - Fluffy Cheesecake Cream
Blend. Stuff Dates.
Dark Cocoa Powder, EV Coconut Oil, Agave Nectar -Chocolate Sauce
Drizzle, freeze, 2 hours, serve.
How do you "spoil" yourself? Recipe will be up soon!
Those look like sin on a dish! Can't wait for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYUM what an awesome idea! I wish I could try one of those delicious-looking clusters.
ReplyDeleteI spoil myself by basking in the sun on our roof-deck, reading Nylon and eating a massive bowl of strawberries and mangoes :)
That looks like a perfect treat for spoiling!
ReplyDeleteHm, I spoil myself with hot milk with cereal and popcorns in the evening.
Not much of a treat, but it's comforting :)
Yum! This sounds so delicious! I love raw cheesecakes...hmmm :)
ReplyDeleteTo treat myself I stay in bed, watch tv...when possible I take long, luxurious baths...I wash my hair and put on oil perfumes...I read great novels and write...i look at pretty pictures :)
That day sounds so good. My "spoiling me" time is pretty similar. Maybe a really nice walk in the sunshine, pancakes for breakfast of course, some pampering with lots of lotions and potions and comfy clothes and trash tv (antm + project runway spring to mind:)Oh gosh I want a day like that NOW! Although next time it will definitely involve your delicious treats...Maybe I won't wait for a special day, we should treat ourselves EVERY DAY. Love you girly xxxx
ReplyDeleteGosh maggieeee!!! those look divine! so yummi, and such a great idea, and special amazing treat! You could sell them, hehe, and probs make loads $$$$ ;] lol :]
ReplyDeleteI spoil myself, Its hard...to feel like i "deserve a treat" :/ but, when i do feel up to it, and i remember we all deserve a treat!!!! and a treat not just a whole lara bar or a banana like u said, those are not "real" treats! I like to have Ciao Bella gelato ice cream :] that is my favorite!

ReplyDeleteNow can you explain how you make this chocolate sauce??? I am so intrigued!
Oh my gosh! The sound of these.. plus the pictures.. I am seriously imagining these in my mouth. I would take these over chocolated-covered strawberries. Holy delicious. I love pampering myself with things like delicious body scrubs, movie to fall asleep to, perusing boutiques, and a walk around somewhere new :D
