happy, healthy & hot

It passed with flying colors!

  What’s that you ask?  Urban Decay’s waterproof mascara, called Cannonball.  I’ve really been putting it to the test here in Mexico, with kayak races, lots of beach and pool time, and my favorite pool game, Magic Carpet, where you are running across the water on an extremely long yoga mat, and of course eventually […]

Happy, healthy and hot meals in Mexico

I’m having a great time…warm weather, great food, pretty sights (well, except for some out of shape men in speedos…not so pretty!). I decided to keep track of everything I’m eating my first full day here…just to show you how a dairy and grain free girl can eat well and enjoy herself on vacation.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

See, I’m not just about boy bands.  I love 80’s music too.  Annie Lennox was a total badass back then, and still is today. I’ve put off writing this post…probably because sleep is an area where I really struggle. So much to do…so little time!  But I’ve been working on it, and I’m seeing some […]

It’s in the bag

How cute is my carry on?  I’m such a sucker for the Victoria’s Secret giveaways.  I can’t tell you how many times I have convinced myself I needed two new bras just because the blanket/umbrella/tote bag they were giving away was so adorable! But what’s really important is what I’m putting in the bag to […]

Pretty in Pink

Pink salt, that is!  Not that I didn’t love the movie.  But if I had to pick a favorite John Hughes movie I’d go with Breakfast Club.  It had the best soundtrack. But about the pretty pink salt. I’ve mentioned this salt as an ingredient in a number of my posts, but I’ve never really […]

Thinking dirty

Because that’s what you expect from me, right?  What other health blogger is posting inappropriate photos of 5sos?  (And if you missed that, check out my recent post on collagen (Collagen confusion). But when I say “thinking dirty,” this time I’m actually talking about the stuff we put on our faces and bodies.  There are […]

My latest obsession

is an anti-aging duo of serum and oil from Annmarie Gianni Skin Care.  I guess I should really say one of my latest obsessions.  The others are “My House” by FloRida, which I can’t get enough of, and Neff beanies, which you see me wearing in a lot of my pics.  I’ll let you in on a […]

Collagen confusion

“Which brand of collagen should I buy?” That’s another question I get asked a lot!  There are two popular brands on the market, Vital Proteins and Great Lakes. There are some differences between the two, but I’ve had great results with both.  It’s kind of like asking which boy band you like better…1D or 5sos?  Love […]

Remember those cute guys I talked about

a few months ago?  Not Justin Beiber and Jason Derulo…I talk about them all the time!  I’m actually referring to the cute little fruit I was into back in December, called Satsuma Mandarins. They were only in season for a month, and I couldn’t get enough of them.  You can read that post right here […]
