Who had a crazy hectic weekend and ate or drank too much and needs to detox with healthy foods on this Monday? Not me.  I had the most boring weekend ever and I’m okay with that.  Low key weekends are a great way to recharge myself.  In fact, the past couple of weekends have been quiet and I’ve actually had time to catch up on some reading.  It’s rare that I actually start and finish a book (unless I’m away on vacation).  I read “It Was Me All Along” by Andie Mitchell.  It’s a memoir about her struggles with weight …

I haven’t had a smoothie in a while.  Remember when I was on a smoothie kick and I shared several smoothie recipes with you in a short period of time?  At that time I probably should have temporarily rebranded Tina’s Chic Corner to be Tina’s Smoothie Corner.  It’s only fair.  My husband fake rebrands his Bread Corner as often as the mood suits him.  🙂 I’m bringing smoothies back.  I should have taken advantage of the calorie free weekend.  You know, because calories don’t count on the weekends.  Instead, I decided to eat a …
