The Best Smoothie Recipe Ever!

Have any of you guys have ever woken up with a craving for a nice, cold delicious smoothie? I know I have!
So here is my immediate, "go to" smoothie! It's versatile - you can sub in different fruits or add some chunks of a different frozen fruit you have on hand. One of the reasons that I love this so much is that it has a ton of blueberries in it - and like everyone knows, blueberries contain lots of antioxidants which are good for your skin!
You can also always add protein or whey powder to give smoothies an extra punch, or matcha powder if you're looking to give your body and skin a big boost!

It's Horse Show Season: Angelstone National Phase 1 CSI**

Yann Candele on Carlotta Singular la Magnifica


So on Friday, I was looking at a piece of paper on the barn notice board that had our show season on it and the dates and places we would be competing in, and because there was one this weekend I wanted to go to take photos!

I did my research, downloaded the order of events and a map and all the orders of go, invited my boyfriend and my mother and went off for an hour drive in the country to go find the show grounds!

The thing that I didn't want to miss was the $50,000 Grand Prix at the end of the day: there were two Olympians riding in it! My favourite was my idol, Ian Millar :)

Waaaah!

I'm sorry guys!

All the posts that I had written with my iPod and I thought I had cued, hadn't! :(
To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what went down but I've now deleted the Blogger app - so I'm sorry for my unintentional absence! 

A lot has happened - my two longest nails broke while I was at the barn (boo hoo) and my parents went away on vacation for a week and my boyfriend was away for two days shopping in the States and I had to look after his two dogs but I promise I'll catch you all up with everything! 

Yesterday I convinced my boyfriend to come with me to a pretty big horse show - I was driving so he agreed to come along - I downloaded all the schedules and the lists of who was competing in each division, my reason for going besides the fact that being a rider means I love horse shows was that there were some people from the barn where I ride at the show! Unfortunately because of the hour drive there, I missed all of their classes :(
Stay tuned for the post later on today after I finish uploading all my 840 (yes, 840) photos from the show!
