We’ve had a cool Spring here in CT. In fact, it was warmer on Christmas than it’s been for most of Spring so far. I’m prepping for just the occasion. Here’s some Stuff I’m Into lately. Desert Shades. A new season is a good excuse to make sure you’ve got a fabulous summer bag. I bought this tote last October and I love it. It’s reversible too! The Maxi Dress. A long, flowy dress is essential for Spring and Summer. I bought a classic black one from White House Black Market about five years ago and I still love and …
Fruit and Oat Smoothie
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 …
Berry Crisp for One
Have you ever eaten at a restaurant by yourself? If you say yes, then I might cry. No really, I have issues seeing people eating alone. I feel so bad that I’ve considered inviting myself over to join the person. The other part of my problem is that I have a total double standard. I don’t have a problem with the idea of me eating alone, and I do it in the food court at the mall sometimes. Is that really considered eating alone though? My husband piped up at this point to inform me that I wasn’t actually eating …
Stuff I’m Into: Eye Lashes
Today’s post is a little different than my usual “Stuff I’m Into” post because I’m focusing on beauty. I’m a girly-girl when it comes to make-up and beauty thing so I’m surprised that it’s taken me this long to share one. I love make-up, but I’m especially into my eye lashes. I want them as long and thick as possible (without resorting to fake lashes, which I’ve never tried). After years and years of trying stuff, I’ve finally found a routine that works for me. I’ve been following these steps for about six months now and I’m lovin’ my lashes. Vitamins. …
Greek Sweet Potato Fry Salad
“You don’t win friends with salad.” – Homer Simpson. Normally I might agree with Homer, but this salad has a better chance than most. I’ve been craving sweet potato fries for months and I’ve finally made them to satisfy that craving. These sweet potato fries are baked and I happen to think that they are better than some fried ones because they are not greasy. I don’t mind a “fried” fry every now and then but I’m not a fan of them if they’re greasy and limp. Blah… limp. These baked ones are nice and crispy and super simple (no fancy seasoning, just salt …
