happy, healthy & hot

Peppermint mocha sounded tempting to me…

when I parked myself at Starbucks on a cold Tuesday morning. Now that the whole Pumpkin Spice Latte thing is dying down, Starbucks is promoting some pretty enticing holiday flavors.  Peppermint Mocha, Chestnut Praline Latte, and Caramel Brulee Latte all sound good. When I’m at Starbucks (which is pretty much all the time) I stick […]

I am a total sucker for the "free" gifts at Victoria's Secret…

especially the totes.  I always convince myself that I need two new bras, or a ridiculous amount of underwear. So of course I had to have this year’s Black Friday tote.  (Don’t worry, I never left the house…that’s the beauty of online shopping.) It’s a great bag…black nylon and a little more sophisticated than the […]

I just walked out of the Verizon store…

with a new iPhone 7 Plus.  It’s almost as big as my head.  But I love it. Here’s the thing with iPhones (or Samsung Galaxies, or your smart phone of choice)…they can actually help you stay happy, healthy and hot.  Or they can totally waste your time.  It all depends on how you use them.

I don't know why it took me so long…

But I’ve never been a huge fan of ranch dressing.  So it’s been sitting, untouched, in my pantry.  Until today.  And all […]

Pimped Guacamole…

is what caught my attention.  I mean, don’t we all want to pimp up our guac? The Paleo Primer:  A Second Helping is loaded with recipes like Pimped Guac.  Quick, easy, amazing for you, and with fun, catchy names.  I was hooked the first time I paged through this new book from Primal Blueprint Publishing. This […]

Beet it

I’ve been a long time fan of Michael Jackson.  Mostly his older stuff.  And of beets.  Since I always have song lyrics going through my head (does anyone else have this problem?!) you can guess what comes to mind every time I am roasting beets. Why should you be eating beets anyway?
