Mini DeLites: Lions & Tigers & Rosé, OH MY

Taking a twist here and talking lions & tigers & rosé.

Not really tigers, but giraffes. Because how cute is Stanley? Stanley the Giraffe is from The Hangover & just has the longest ( black ) tongue on the planet. He prefers carrots to kale & I feel like he’s a major flirt. You may have also caught him on Keeping Up With The Kardashians – Khloe loved him. Really though, girls line up for him. I mean he is tall, real tall.

Wait, I’m getting ahead of myself.

Last weekend my best friend, Steve ( remember he’s helping me A LOT with my daily calendar — will do a post! ), took us to his family’s ranch, Saddlerock Ranch, also known as Malibu Wines. You go on this crazy safari & feed all different kinds of animals like yaks & horses while sipping different varietals of wine.

I know, so ideal, right?

Like what’s better than hanging out with a zillion foot giraffe, sipping on a delicious California Pinot Noir and comparing it to a dry rosé. By the way, fun fact: giraffes legs are taller than any human AND their food source is leaves, fruits, & flowers of woody plants. Wow, look at me today.

We toured the property, hung out with some zebras, & ended the night at Malibu Wine Bar.

Highly recommend the whole tour if you’re in LA. It’s called Malibu Wine Safari. The slogan is ‘get your wine on.’

Well, OK. We certainly did.

Speaking of wine, I’m cutting out alcohol BIG, BIG TIME before our wedding.

Basically, I’m not really drinking unless it’s a wedding celebration OR an occasion for about eight weeks. AND I am very much doing TSC Meal Plan. If you’re already on the plan – do it with me? I need all the help I can get. Time to get my ass into gear. If you’re interested in checking it out, we made it so you can access the meal plan separately from the workouts.

Ok what else? Tomorrow I’m going to do a haul on Snapchat…& maybe a Snap giveaway! See you there: @laurynevarts. Also…thinking about hopping on Facebook Live to share a quick daytime makeup look. What kinds of FB Live videos would you guys be interested in? I’m kind of up for anything, everything? We could even do a boob job live chat. HA. I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of questions about a boob job so a FB chat could be fun &…eer, different? I don’t know, just throwing ideas out there.

On that note, I’m out. Going to bed early tonight. I just made bone broth ( you have to try it with rosemary, ginger, lemon, & chili flakes ) & very obsessed with it because it’s got 18 grams of protein for two cups. AND like 50 calories. Shit, maybe I’ll make bone broth on FB…hmm, LOL.

Ok goodnight guys, happy Monday!
