What the whattttt. Guys. It is AUGUST. How and why does summer go by so fast?! It feels like just yesterday we were in the UP!

While I write this I am physically sitting at my desk back home in Michigan. But as you’re reading this I am currently in the UK. Drinking all of the tea and eating all of the scones. At this point, I have already toured the Harry Potter Warner Bros. studio (HP fans, where you at?), seen the sights of London, checked out Leeds, and have likely already spent the past couple days hiking in Scotland 😀 I promise I’ll share photos ASAP.

I am honestly so grateful to have been able to go on this trip. Looking back to the planning and weeks leading up, I was definitely a little scared. Not necessarily scared of flying, or traveling alone. But just scared of… trying something new, I guess? It feels a little silly to admit, truthfully.

But it was either a trip to the UK with some of my favorite people, or going camping on the Georgian Bay with my family like I have every summer of my entire 27 years of life . And I couldn’t have both. And while I am sad I don’t get to see my favorite Canadians or watch the sun go down on the Georgian Bay, I have to say I am proud of myself for going on this trip. To some of you that may not be a big deal, but for someone who looks forward to routine, there was a bit of anxiety building up to this trip.

Of course I was excited too. Super duper excited. But also nervous. Christina totally summed up all of the feels with her IG post the other week. Which led me to think back to the quote

“Because the things you’re scared of are usually the most worthwhile”

So true though, right?

I always keep that thought in my head when I am about to embark on a new adventure. Whether it’s traveling, a new workout class, saying “yes” to something new, attending a conference, etc.

Being scared doesn’t have to be debilitating. Once you get of your own way, it can be invigorating, exciting, and 200% worth it. I feel like it is always worth it.

You just have to have the right mindset.

So what are these little cups I’ve been tantalizing you with throughout the discussion above?

We’re using Erin’s Healthier Salted Caramel Sauce (for like, the third time, no joke) because it is BOSS and easy and better than store-bought 😀

All you do is melt your bowl of chocolate chips, spoon on some almond butter, a bit of caramel, and finish off with melted chocolate. 15 minutes in the freezer and you’ve got yourself some seriously good caramel almond butter cups.

KIDDING.
