    Instagram post 2158348940966490372_4790947479 My new #glasses arrived from @eyebuydirect!... • • I found these #cateyeglasses — DEPTH is the name of the style — after posting the poll. Thank you for your votes... • • I chose them because they’re much smaller (the other frames were huge as far as measurements go) and purple is my favorite color... • • I haven’t had a chance to test them it in the sun (they get darker outside) because it’s a cloudy day... • • I liked them better on the website’s try-on feature, but they’re growing on me... • • Check out @eyebuydirect for great styles + prices for the entire family. Their commitment to providing excellent customer service is clear... • • And, your prescription will be, too! This is the third order I’ve placed. Now, I recommend @eyebuydirect to everyone. #nicoleluongo #cerebralpalsy #girlswhowearglasses #eyeglassesfashion #eyeglasses #ebdfamily #itshowyouframeit #notanad #wayfarer #floralglasses #purpleglasses #saturday #selfie #smile
    Instagram post 2157776547311153588_4790947479 I made @cremedelacrumb1’s Instant Pot Chicken and Potatoes (minus the ranch seasoning or grated Parmesan, which I didn’t have) for dinner.... • • • This is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make! I found it on @crunchycreamysweet’s website.... • • • I also did my first IG live video. 🙂 #cremedelacrumb #dinner #dinnerideas itssoeasy #chickenandpotatoes #instantpot #onepotmeal #chickenrecipes #comfortfood #easyrecipes #healthyrecipes #yum
    Instagram post 2157756314902950536_4790947479 LIFT Day 18 (Split Training Legs + Buns) ✅!... • • HOLY BANANAS! I’ve been working out for decades, and this #ghutv workout with Shelley kicked my butt!... • • @chrisfreytag Thank you and all the trainers for offering such a variety of workouts... • • There’s something for everyone — no matter your ability or fitness level... • • As an adult with #cerebralpalsy, I appreciated the slower pace and the lateral movement with the band — something I’ve done in physical therapy to help strengthen my gluteus + hips.... • • A #lowerbodyworkout workout I can actually do! My legs felt like jello afterwards.... • • Thank goodness I started with the X-light band vs. the light. Those bands are small but TOUGH just like me! • • P.S. I hold onto a chair for the lunges/curtsy lunges... • • Check out a previous post to see my video demonstrating how I use a chair to do modified burpees, which seem to pop up in (almost) every Get Healthy U TV workout...LOL! #nicoleluongo #cpstrong #whatcplookslike #exercise #fitness #legday #legworkout #resistancebands #ithurtssogood #ylfcommunity

    Instagram post 2156778693348197993_4790947479 I LOVE all things 🎃... • • • So, how could I resist making these One-Bowl Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies by @dadaeats?... • • • I used dark chocolate almond butter (swipe to see) I made in my @vitamix with @bluediamond almonds.... • I didn’t add add any honey (the recipe calls for maple syrup) because I’m sure the almond butter will do the trick. #baking #cookies #dadaeats #pumpkin #pumpkinchocolatechipcookies #almondbutter #bluediamondalmonds #darkchocolate #healthyrecipes #glutenfreerecipes #veganrecipes #nstadesserts #yummy

    Instagram post 2156332982085255193_4790947479 The disability poem ‘I Am’ by Marty Gregoire — who has #cerebralpalsy — asks the question: “What do you see when you look at me?”... • He talks about the pain of perceptions, the pain of being mocked or stared at... • Marty’s poem reminds us that physical appearance doesn’t tell the truth... • His poignant poem shatters perceptions, promotes acceptance, which is what ALL of us want.... • Tap the link in my bio @whatcplookslike to read ‘I Am.’ You’ll be glad you did. #nicoeluongo #acceptance #accept #cpawareness #whatcplookslike #disability #disability #disabilities #disabilityawareness #pain #perceptions #poem #poignant poetry #wisdomwednesday #wisewordsoftheday #ylfcommunity
    Instagram post 2156120795399862507_4790947479 When a recipe is so good, you double it and make it AGAIN!... . I had some very ripe bananas that I didn’t want to waste, so this recipe is perfect! . These Flourless Peanut Butter Blender Muffins by @crunchycreamysweet were made in my @vitamix!... . I also made the peanut butter the recipe calls for in my @vitamix. I used the last bit of yogurt I made in my @instantpotofficial, too.... . I used @ghirardelli 60% cacao premium baking chips + @bobsredmill flax meal for the flax eggs. I also added some Organic unsweetened coconut flakes. I added half the amount of sugar (I used 3 TBS of coconut sugar) and a couple of shakes of cinnamon... . Tase test time! #baking #bananamuffins #blendermuffins #crunchycreamysweet #bananas #oats #darkchocolatechips #peanutbutter #vitamix #unsweetenedcoconutflakes #healthyrecipes #instafoodgram #yummy
