HalloLEAN!

You don't have to drive yourself crazy avoiding all the yummy sweets during Halloween, but you do have to play it smart. Another reason I love Hungry Girl so darn much. They made a little survival guide and to see it yourself click the pic below:)

Also, I wanted to point out one of the products mentioned in the survival guide...Cocoa Via!!! I LOVE (and I mean loooove...) chocolate! Hence the ghetto bootie lol. Cocoa Via bars are so good and you won't feel like a diet failure after enjoying one I promise. The Cocoa Via Crispy Chocolate bar, for example, is only 90 calories and 5 grams of fat (AN ENTIRE BAR)!!! Click the pic below to check out their other products and nutritional info.

Show off your curves!

So I was walking in Safeway with my mom a couple days ago and I spotted these! I love Fiber One Chewy bars so I figured...what the hell maybe I'll become obsessed with these as well. And you guessed it! They are delicious!!! Oh and only 100 calories woo hoo! All the nutritional info is available on their site (click the pic above). Enjoy!!!

I'M A SCARED MOMMY RIGHT NOW:(

My little puglet, Lulu, is getting fixed right now. I know it's a routine surgery and all that, but it's still scary (any surgery is)!!! She is my child!!! I'm mean look how cute she is! I can't wait to pick her up and baby her (she's spoiled rotten if you couldn't tell). Ok just had to vent! Thank you that is all:)

Starbucks deliciousness!

SORRY THE PIC ISN'T THAT CUTE...IT WAS ALL I COULD FIND:)

So I just tried one of their new breakfast wraps! I got the Spinach, Roasted Tomato, Feta & Egg Wrap and it was to DIE FOR!!! Super yummy:) Oh and the best part...it's not that bad as far as calories go! Here's the breakdown...240 calories, 10 grams of fat, and 7 grams of dietary fiber. That adds up to 5 POINTS for WW. So you shouldn't chow down on one of these every single day, but you can totally have one guilt-free every once and awhile. YAY! If you want to find out more about Starbucks nutritional info click the pic above and just type in your zip code.

Who says you can't have pasta?

It's all about the portions baby! And thanks to my Hungry-Girl daily email I now know about this little gadget:) It's called the Spaghetti Doser and it measures your pasta so you can enjoy it without the worry of calories! Plus it's only $14.65. Click the pic above to find out more info!

Rihanna gets inked!

not sure what the hell it's supposed to be but...enjoy!

Just what the Dr. ordered!

Dr. Praeger's has TONS of awesome food!!! The chicken and fish fillets are the best though. If you enjoy the fast-food fish sandwiches....you need to say adios!!! They are so high in fatty calories, you need to KICK THEM TO THE CURB!!! You can easily make your own version with less calories and it'll be just as yummy! Each fillet is 100 calories and only 4 grams of fat! A box costs about $3.19 (not too bad). Enjoy!

and for ONLY $40...

You could look like jail bird Paris for Halloween (if you're looking to get some laughs)! Skanky perfume sold separately.

This is so sad!

How cute is Iggy OMG!!! This is the little baby that Ellen adopted and ended up having to give to a better home (her hairstylist). The animal rescue has taken Iggy away from his new owners and now a little girl is heartbroken. Make sure you watch Ellen today on ABC at 3p.m. to hear the full story (or just the click Iggy's pic for more).

Just like Butta!

FRIZZ BE GONE!

Halo Smoothing Gel

(sorry about the crappy picture it was all I could find)

I just picked this up at J.'s Beauty in Midtown and I love it! I have crazy curly hair and this tames it pretty well. I usually don't like to use product because it'll leave my hair feeling gross and sticky...but this is smooth and really light. It's a little expensive($15.99), but worth every penny. Actually the entire Halo line is really great! Plus the shampoo and conditioner bottles are so cute. They look like the ooze from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Here check it out haha!

CHOCOLATE BLISS!

Weight Watchers Chocolate and Carrot Cakes

When I bought these, I honestly thought they would taste like chalk with some Splenda on top...BUT to my surprise they were DELICIOUS!!! Each cake is only 80 calories/3 grams of fat and only 1 POINT if you're on WW!!! They are pretty small so I suggest drinking a huge glass of water with yours...that way you fill yourself up and get your chocolate fix:) If you can...get them at Walmart or Target (it's cheaper).

New lip gloss you NEED!

haha no really you don't just want it...you NEEEEED it! Since I have a Victoria's Secret Angel card...beware you will max it if you ever get one:(...I pretty much get a catalogue from them EVERY SINGLE DAY! Well I was flippin' through my latest one yesterday and I noticed this!

Too Faced®
Glamour Gloss

It looks so pretty! I'm going to hit up Sephora and see what it looks like on! I've used the Too Faced line before and no complaints! It's only $18 if you want to order it from V.S. Just click the pic for the link:)

the holiday's are a'coming!!!

SMASHBOX is probably my favorite line. It always looks natural and doesn't feel gross or caked on...I just love it! With that said...they are launching their new holiday line on Oct. 19th and 20th (Friday & Saturday) at Nordstrom in the Arden Fair Mall. They'll be introducing you to the new colors and will show you how to apply their products! Plus free samples, facials, etc. Here's the number to call...(916)646-2400 (ask for the Smashbox counter). You have to make an appointment though and spaces are filling up...SO CALL SOON! Ask for Allie...she's awesome!

Lindsay's new man?

You can see Linds and her new beau (Riley Giles) in the latest issue of InTouch Weekly...plus there's an exclusive interview with L.Lo about leaving rehab and what's next!

AYOOOO Technology!!!

Can I just say how much I love hungry-girl.com?!?! I alway's get the best info from that site and recommend you sign up for their daily email immediately!!! Great tips and recipes:) Ok moving on to what the hell this contraption is...it's the Bodybugg!!! This little gadget is flippin' genius because it figures out how many calories you burn throughout the day....regardless of what you're doing. The catch...it's SUPER expensive. Maybe you can beg the fam to chip in for Christmas or postpone that shopping trip and treat yourself to this instead! Either way it's worth knowing about. If you get it let me know, because I have quite a bit of saving to do before I pick mine up lol. Enjoy! Click the pic above for more info:)

father to daughter...daughter to father.....

Looks like rehab is actually helping Lindsay beat her addiction AND heal her relationships! It's good to see Lindsay and her dad sharing a hug. She looks healthy and happy...first time we've seen Lindsay look that way for awhile. Good for her! Maybe she's getting it together afterall. Well...let's hope so.

FIGHT your hunger!!!

Ok...if you don't get a lunch break and are STARVING when you get home (I want to eat 5 lean cuisines I'm so hungry after work lol), then try this. Self magazine's October issue has some great tips on fighting hunger, but if you don't feel like buying the mag....here's my CliffsNotes version:) In a nutshell, "a study in the journal Obesity Research found that people who ate an 80-calorie appetizer that included three key ingredients-a type of fat, a protein and a fiber-went on to eat 43 percent fewer calories at the next sitting." Hey sounds good right? Usually while dieting, the word "appetizer" is banned from our vocabualry haha. Now we can enjoy!!! Hooray! Self gives six great recipes too. If you want all six you'll have to shell out the $4 (it's a awesome magazine), but here's a few to try.

These are 80-calorie snacks to chow down on before meals!

Avocado, hummus, and crisps

1 Wasa Multigrain Crispbread topped with 1 tbsp avocado and 1 tbsp hummus

Baked fries with rosemary

1/3 cup 1/2 inch-thick potato slices tossed with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of finely chopped rosemary, baked at 450 degrees for 30 minutes

Mediterranean bruschetta

1/2 slice whole-wheat toast brushed with 1/2 tsp olive oil, topped with 1 tbsp Greek yogart and a mixture of 3 tbsp diced tomatoes with a pinch of chopped garlic and basil

There you go! Hope you enjoy!!!

YUM!

Healthy Choice Cafe Selections Paninis are here! I am all about the Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella yum yum yummer!! Only 310 calories, 4.5 g fat and 6 points if you're on WW. It's fast, it's good, and it's low calorie...hells yeah! Food always tastes better when you know it's not packing pounds onto the thighs lol! Enjoy!

Better than the drive thru!

So if you're one of those people who never eat breakfast because you don't have the time, not hungry in the morning, blah blah...you need to check out these bad boys! I totally forgot about them, until I saw my email from hungry-girl.com today! Trust me, I know what a pain it is to get up extra early for breakfast, BUT after losing more weight I got over it haha and you will too I swear! If you want something quick though, you should try these new Jimmy Dean D-Lights Sandwiches. I wouldn't have one every day though (a wee bit high in sodium), but they're super good and pretty healthy:) Here's the breakdown...

1 Sandwich=230 calories

6g of fat

790mg of sodium

5 points for WW

You can pick these babies up at most grocery stores. Try Wal-Mart though, I've noticed they have great deals on frozen food! Awesome place to stock up on the Lean Cuisines!
