Apple Cider Vinegar Tablets

Click the pic for info on Apple Cider Vinegar courtesy of WedMD. Doug Lazy was the first person to tell me about these tablets and I totally forgot about them until I saw a bottle at the Sac CoOp on S St. and Alhambra. They're very inexpensive compared to diet pills, plus there are tons of health benefits (click the pic for more). They curve your appetite, increase your metabolism AND they are ALL NATURAL! You're not putting tons of harmful crap into your system (very important)! Try it out and let me know if it works for you. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Rihanna makeover!

Open Sandwich!


An open sandwich is basically a regular sandwich without the top piece of bread. By eliminating a piece of bread you are saving yourself 70-120 calories (depending on what kind of bread it is). Holy crap!!! Talk about an easy fix huh? Just think of it as an upscale bagel lol. Enjoy!

Hair perfume!

If you ever spray your hair with your perfume (hey we've all done it) then STOP! The alcohol in your perfume damages and dries out your hair! A great alternative could be Pure & Petal hair fragrances. I'll be honest, I don't know what these fragrances smell like but there was a write up in Self magazine about them, so I thought I'd pass it along. They're not available in the U.S. yet, but will be soon. In the meantime, feel free to order online by clicking the pic above. If you do, let me know if you like it:)

Write it down!

Ok so I'm sure you've heard "keep a food diary" a million times, but have you ever tried it? It WORKS! I've been doing it for a couple days now and it puts how much you actually eat into perspective real quick. I'm not gonna lie...the first day I was a little mad at myself for being a heffer, but moving on...I doing the free online food journal on The Daily Plate (click logo above) and so far so good. I'm still messing around with the site a lil bit, but it's pretty straight forward (not hard to figure out at all). Also, Weight Watchers has a great food journal on their site...you have to be a member though...BUT you can still look up yummy recipes!!! Click here for more.
Oh and if you'd prefer to print out your own journal, click the pic below. Keep me posted on how these work out for you.

Yoga Loka!

So if you haven't tried yoga yet, you really should. It doesn't look like crazy, sweaty excerise but IT IS! I do Hot Yoga off of Folsom Blvd. a couple times a week and I love it! In 90 minutes I burn around 700 calories (no really I looked it up!). I'm saving to buy more classes right now haha. The cool thing though, at Yoga Loka you can try it out $10 for 10 days. That way if you hate it, you only lost $10 (not a big deal). Trust me though. It will kick your ass! Wear as little clothing as possible (shorts and a sports bra) because you will sweat so much lol. It's gross while you're doing it but after you take a shower, you just feel incredible! It's hard to explain. Bring lots of water, your mat and a couple towels too (they have mats, towels and water there as well). Click the pic for all the info and to find a location near you.

Brownies make the world a better place!


Don't you agree?
Like so many women, I have a slight obsession with chocolate (see previous posts) and since it's not the best thing to enjoy while on a diet...I'm always on the hunt for low-cal/fat alternatives. Here's my latest find (thanks to Hungry-Girl). HG sent an email with tons of brownies to try (click the pic above), but these seemed to be the best. I'm going to pick some up after work! Yum can't wait!!!

Plump that PUCKA!

So I'm slowly becoming a girly girl when it comes to products...and I have to tell ya SmashBox and Benefit are by far two of my favorite lines. I love cupid's bow by Benefit (see pic above and click for more info). It helps you shape and highlight your lips to make the perfect pout! It's not too drastic either, like "WHOA HELLO LIP LINER!" haha not the case with cupid's bow. The set cost $28...I get mine at Sephora. Every girl I know that's used this...loves it so treat yourself!

Candy isn't always bad:)

These are so gooood! Click the pic above for more.

still the best mascara!


I have tried so many different mascara's it's not even funny! To find a good one takes forever I swear. Well for the past two years I have used Cover Girl's Lash Exact. I've tried others (more expensive ones from Sephora blah blah), but this one remains my fav. For one it's waaaay cheaper than the $20 mascara you pick up at the makeup counter in the mall. Two, it works so well. It seperates your lashes and makes them look so full and pretty...I love it! You can get CG pretty much anywhere, so keep you eye out and pick some up! Oh and it's $8 or less (depending on where you go) heck yeah.

my sweaterrrrr...whoa y whoa y whooooaaa!

I'm an 80's geek...clearly. I loveloveLOVE this sweater and I got it at a brand new thrift store called Bows and Arrows in Midtown for $12! It's right on L St. (here's the addy...1712 L Street...mapquest it). If you're into vintage pieces then hit this place up! There's even vintage furniture. So cute! Click the pic for their MySpace page.

perfect for a rainy day...like TODAY!

Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa is SOOOOOO...good!!! Tastes pretty much the same as regular hot cocoa too. One packet is only 25 (count em' 25!!!) calories and 0 grams of fat:) I mix it with fat free milk (about a cup of that and fill the rest of the mug with water). You cut calories that way and still have a creamy cup of cocoa! Enjoy! Click the pick for more info.

I know we make fun of how crazy she is and all that jazz, but just look at how heartbreaking these pictures are. It's so sad. Britney obviously needs help. They claim she's not on drugs...that it's a mental condition...well whatever is wrong with her I just hope she gets the help she needs. Get well girl.
