Please tell me that I am not the only person on the planet who loves Celine Dion?! C’mon folks. She is amazing!
Other music I am into:
The Pop Ballads Spotify station
Jena Irene’s version of “I Can’t Help Falling In Love”
The Wicked soundtrack – I’m going to see it in New York in June!
Despite the look on his face here, Mazen actually picked some baby kale and ate it straight from the garden! You can only guess how excited I was. He even suggested that we go and get some hummus for dipping. I hope this means that he’s going to be eating kale salads by summer’s end! I have been holding my breath during the picky stages, just waiting for him to want to try more things, and I think we’re getting there!
This doTERRA Deep Blue Rub is a fancy version of icy hot. It’s not cheap, but doTERRA, the company who makes it, is known for having really high quality essential oils. I’ve been putting it on my aches after soccer, and it helps!
I love this receipt below!! All versions of my birthday – 10.26!
I’ve been taking echinacea since buying it at a farm a few months ago. Knock on wood, I haven’t gotten a cold since! I squirt it in a glass of water every morning while my coffee brews. The taste is kind of funny, but it has really grown on me. It tastes kind of like bitters, so I feel like I’m having a breakfast cocktail!
We have been having so much fun with the snapchat (@katheats) filters! Mazen just loves them! I love that there are new ones posted every day. Some of them are so creative! I just can’t get enough of his silly belly laugh in this one:
Quaker sent me a pair of Yosi Samra flats for the Instagram giveaway I did last week. My gosh they are so comfortable! As soft as ballet slippers. Remember this post I did all about shoes? The Yosi Samras win for most comfortable by far.
I had new headshots taken by Sarah Cramer Shields of Cramer Photo. I hadn’t had any taken since 2010, so they were long overdue. I love the simplicity of the collection! Sarah is so talented. And thanks to Lauren for doing my make-up!!
Have a great day!

May 19, 2016 at 11:37 amYou’re definitely not alone with the Celine love. I was OBSESSED in junior high (like embarrassingly obsessed), and I recently got back into listening to her music. The woman has a gift. And catchy songs, to boot! 🙂

May 19, 2016 at 12:17 pmI fell in love with Celine in French class. Our professor played a different song every class. Celine and Lara Fabian were by far my favorites! I wish there were more songs from her in French.

May 19, 2016 at 12:19 pmKath, have you read any studies regarding echinacea and colds? The general thinking I’ve read is that it can shorten a cold, but not prevent them.
KathEats says
May 20, 2016 at 7:47 amNo I’m not up to speed

May 19, 2016 at 1:43 pmI used to take Echinacea, especially after air travel or if I thought a cold was coming on, but then I realized it may be a factor in allergy response – Echinacea boosts your immune system to help you fight off colds, but seasonal allergies are a heightened response of your immune system to pollen etc (all the stuff that is so prevalent in the springtime). I figured I didn’t need to be taking something to increase immune response and exacerbate allergies.

May 19, 2016 at 1:46 pmI took echinachae years ago but stopped. I don’t remember why! I need to get back on it. Good reminder!
I love the headshots! The plank pictures are really good.

May 19, 2016 at 4:10 pmHey! I almost NEVER comment, but I had to stop by to say three things:
1) Celine Dion is a singing goddess! Oh my goodness – her song Surrender is my favourite! Have you heard that one?
2) Your chaturanga (LOL autocorrect thinks it’s “chattering”) is beautiful. You have amazing form! Are you still practicing yoga regularly?
3) Mazen is adorable and getting bigger and bigger by the day! He is such a cutie and always will be. Also, those flats are so chic and look super comfy!
KathEats says
May 20, 2016 at 7:46 amThanks! Listening to Surrender now, and yes, semi regular yoga!

May 20, 2016 at 8:37 amIf you like Celine…have you seen Ariana Grande’s impression of Celine Dion on Jimmy Fallon? It’s pretty great, regardless of how you feel about Ariana Grande. Starts around minute 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss9ygQqqL2Q

May 20, 2016 at 4:38 pmFantastic headshots!! And excellent musical taste… Now I need to YouTube “If That’s What It Takes” RIGHT NOW because waiting until I get home and finding it on my external hard drive is too long.
Jeanie says
May 20, 2016 at 6:55 pmGuess my comment got lost so I’ll try again. Those are really great pictures of you, but it would be so much easier to view all your photos and read your posts without all the pop-up ads.
