Another Quick Snack...And a Shout Out!

This little guy has been another one of my favorite quick snacks lately. 

You know all those amazing chocolates you love with sea salt on top.  Well here are those, mixed with some other ingredients and with some healthy thrown in.  My favorite part is that it tastes delicious, but has some pretty great nutrition benefits too.  For a small snack it contains a decent amount of fiber (4g) and almost a full serving of protein (6g!).  

Now granola bars can be tricky because they can be masked as "healthy" very often.  Look for bars with whole grains, a good source of fiber (~5g), and less than ~200 calories (if it's a snack). 

Transition to a shout out to all my tall ladies (or ladies with long legs).  I'm 5'10" and have fairly long legs because of that.  I typically wear dresses to work since I love dresses and finding dress pants that are long enough is always a hassle.  However, recently my job description has changed a bit and has started to include some exercise counseling, meaning that my dress wearing days are over (at risk of flashing my patients).  I knew I needed forgiving pants due to the exercise, but also needed them to fit into the business casual category.  Enter my internet search and Maurices (http://www.maurices.com/home/index.jsp).  Maurices has pants that come in long and extra long.  

I ended up purchasing the Pull On Bootcut pants...and they look like dress pants...and they feel like yoga pants...and they have an elastic waist!  What more could a girl ask for.  Check out how perfect these are. 

And the true test: wearing them with 2.5 inch wedges!

Amazing is all I can say.  Well that and let's bombard them with suggestions to add more colors!  
Ok, my tall girl rant is over, but I leave you with this amazing video from Straight No Chaser and Kristen Bell.  I mean this is awesome!
