happy, healthy & hot

Whiter teeth without grief

I think it’s safe to say we all want white teeth. For many years, I relied on White Strips.  My teeth have always been decent, but they weren’t as sparkly white as I wanted.  Since the staining wasn’t bad, I never went through a whole pack…I would maybe just use them for a few days […]

I've been feeling guilty…

about my makeup. See, here’s the thing.  I am careful about what I put into my body, so I can look and feel my best.  And I’m also super careful (ok, borderline obsessive) about my skincare.  I love using the safest, most natural products from companies like Annmarie Gianni, 100% Pure, Telluride Glow and Raw Elements.

I'm loving the new song "Closer" by The Chainsmokers…

(not to be confused with “Closer” by Nick Jonas, which was also pretty good.) I’m also loving all of the pre-washed mixed greens that are available at grocery stores lately.  I’m always looking for ways to get more greens into my body,  because they are so important for great skin and a healthy body. One […]

Some things never get old…

Like Uptown Funk.  Adidas Superstars.  And drinking lemon water. One of my very earliest posts was on lemon water.  Since no one was actually reading this blog back then (seriously, no one!), I wanted to revisit this topic. Here’s the original post if you want to check it out:  Why I start my day with […]

It's a rainy Sunday…

good day to go out to breakfast.  And to do some online shopping! Here’s what I had for breakfast: Omelet with tomatoes, spinach and broccoli.  Fruit instead of potatoes and toast.  And remember, get real eggs, not whites or egg beaters.  The yolk is where all the nutrients are. Now, about the online shopping…

I was driving home from the beach…

blasting the new Britney song (love G-Eazy!) and sipping some iced tea. Not iced green tea with ginseng.  Not an iced matcha latte. Just plain old iced tea.  I had forgotten how much I liked it. And guess what…plain iced tea is pretty good for you! 

Summer skin SOS!!

We’ve all been there at one time or another…that dry, dull skin after a trip to the beach. Summer has been fun, but maybe a little too much fun.  Two beach trips and lots of pool time.  Even though I protected my skin I feel dry and a little less glow-y. Here’s what I’m doing […]

It was a lazy summer Sunday…

one that involved driving with the top down, sitting by the pool, and listening to music.  Totally love “Starving” by Hailee Steinfeld.  And of course “Cold Water” by my boyfriend Justin. I’m going to tell you what I ate. Why should you care?
