happy, healthy & hot

Warming up with a vanilla latte on a chilly spring morning…

is pretty much the best thing ever. Especially if that vanilla latte tastes like dessert and is amazing for your skin, hair and nails.  Oh yeah, it could even help you lose weight.  Doesn’t get much better than that! I made this latte with some of my favorite things:  Javazen organic coffee, organic coconut oil, […]

Want $134 worth of skincare? For free?

Yeah, I thought so! 100% Pure has an awesome gift with purchase right now.  If you spend $55 (get the Lengthening mascara…you will thank me later!) you receive this adorable bag filled with goodies. It includes the Charcoal Konjac sponge and Coffee Bean Eye Cream, both of which I have used and love.  (The eye […]

Since it's St. Patrick's Day…

I’m thinking green drinks.  But not green beer.  Or Shamrock Shakes. Drinking a green drink (almost) every day is a habit that has stayed with me from my vegan days.  There’s something about starting the day with something fresh and green that really feels great. In fact, I consider leafy greens to be one of […]

Tea and me

It’s no secret that I adore coffee.  I have probably published more posts about coffee than anything else.  And stay tuned…I have an awesome vanilla latte recipe coming up in the next few days. But I can’t drink coffee all day.  I would be overly wired.  And bored. So sometimes I switch to tea.  Sometimes […]

GetAway giveaway!

In my recent travel post, I raved about Annmarie Skincare’s GetAway kit that contains sample sizes of eight different products. And guess what…I have one to give away!  Even better, this giveaway is open to everyone, not just U.S residents.  

Easiest Asian-inspired salmon dinner.

Seriously.  Easiest thing ever.  You only use one pan, and measure nothing. Which means less cleanup. You can probably put the whole thing together in the time it takes to listen to “The Shape of You.”  Or “Cold,” the new one from Maroon 5 and Future.  Which is kind of growing on me.  Just don’t […]

I've got some travel coming up…

and I know many of you do too.   Whether it’s a few days in Florida or a ten day cruise, travel can mess with our happy, healthy and hot routines. Here are a few things I’ll be throwing in my carry on  (love silver sparkles!) to help me look and feel my best:

Buffalo chicken soup in the crockpot,

a flannel shirt, and Lady Gaga playing on my iPad.  A perfect Saturday afternoon. Actually, I should clarify that.  A perfect Saturday afternoon in March.  Because it’s crazy cold outside right now. Come June, a perfect Saturday afternoon will involve my cute convertible, a pool, and some iced coffee.  And good music, of course. There […]
