Girlavantgarde, as proven here, here, and everywhere, could also be an encyclopedia of evidence for my love of sweets. I’m a cupcake connoisseur, a macaron addict, and a cookie monster. In order to still have my cake and eat it too, I try to eat healthy meals. Anyone who knows me, knows that I eat salads everyday. Every. single. day. Sometimes people ask how I never get tired of them. Well, the answer is that I like to change up their ingredients. I go through phases and obsess over a specific salad, until I get sick of it and am onto the next. I’m currently completely into this colorful red, white, and orange salad.

The ingredients are listed below and the process is self explanatory: chop strawberries, mushrooms, carrots, and apricots; peel, chop, and bake butternut squash; wash lettuce (I enjoy spring mix), and sprinkle all ingredients atop; finally, drizzle with dressing (I like balsamic vinegar because its light and packed with flavor).

 On another note, today is the last day to enter to win a Jose Eber clipless curling iron of your choice here. Giveaway ends at 11:59pm and I will announce the winner tomorrow morning. Good luck!!!
