We get so many questions about several things: one of them is workwear ideas, which we have shared some in this post and this post. We love this dress for work, or any occasion you have coming up! It is super flattering, and comes in black, too. We love it paired it with this black cardigan and these pointed heels! We are wearing the smallest size in it for reference.
On a completely unrelated note, we wanted to share some plant-based recipes we have been loving, or plan on trying!
Not going to lie, we always heard “plant-based”, and immediately dismissed it. We thought, “But, how do you get your protein?” It wasn’t until we started not feeling well for a while, that we decided to try it out and see if we saw any changes. We can honestly say we feel so much better. We don’t feel 100%, but it is a step in the right direction. We aren’t focused on protein amounts, just getting and feeling better. You can listen more in our most recent podcast episode.
We are planning on doing a whole youtube video soon on what we eat in a day, but for now it is mainly lemon water and celery juice in the mornings, followed by a smoothie or fresh fruit. Lunch is a big salad or raw veggies and some fruit, and we graze and snack most of the day with fruit, dates, veggies, etc. Dinner is basically the same (a lot of fruits and veggies, sometimes cooked!). It takes a lot to get full and satisfied!

Here is what we typically buy at Costco:
What We Buy At Trader Joe’s/Sprouts:
Many of you all may not know it, but we worked in corporate America about 5 years ago. Our initial job out of college (University of Texas at Austin- Hook ‘Em!) was working in public accounting at Ernst & Young. We both majored in Management Information Systems, so we were not typical accountants. One of us worked in IT Auditing, and the other in Fraud Technology Services. We honestly never thought we would work in something so technical, but it was our dream job we had wanted when we were in school. 
Interviewing for jobs can be SO stressful and nerve-racking, but once we got our internships with our top choice, we were so excited! We interned for Ernst & Young the summer after our junior year of college in Dallas (where we now live). We had such good experience, and had so much fun that summer! We loved getting to put together cute, but functional outfits for work.
After our summer internships, we accepted full-time offers with the same company, and were so relieved and excited for the next steps in our career. We moved to Dallas in August of 2013, and have obviously been here ever since!
We both worked our jobs there for a year before transitioning into our own gig;) Although, we had a great experience working there, and have nothing but positive things to say about the company as a whole, it was not for us. We are both very creative at heart, and driven, so we had always envisioned doing something of our own.
Once we left our corporate jobs, we did personal training for 6-7 months, and then worked on eventually launching our own food product, Double Dose Bakery. We also decided to launch our blog at the same time (because we are crazy and like to put a ton of stress on ourselves!) We will say it was quite the journey, but we wouldn’t change any of it!
