Veg-Out!

Chips are never really that "healthy", but you can find better alternatives out there. I can't wait to pick these up! I love love LOVE chips and salsa (I literally would have it for dinner in college haha). Well when on a diet you can't have chips as often as you would like to...sad but true. Thanks to Trader Joes, we can kinda enjoy them a little bit more because lookie here...VEGGIE CHIPS!!! Here are the stats. About 26 chips is 160 calories, 10 grams of fat and 4 POINTS if you're on WW. Yum!

The Color Purple...

who would have thought there were so many purple foods out there? You may have heard of that purple diet everyone was talking about way back when...well I wouldn't limit your diet to just purple veggies but definitely incorporate them into your meals. Purple kale mixed with spinach and other greens is awesome in a salad. Purple bell peppers and eggplant are by far my favorites and did I mention delicious? There are tons of benefits to eating these purple veggies.
The phytonutrients responsible for the color can slow aging. Hello gorgeous (unwrinkled) skin!!! Urinary tract health and memory function also benefit from purple vegetables, so hit up the grocery store and pick some up! I recommend the Sac Co-Op on S St. and Alhambra in downtown. Their produce is all organic and locally grown. Yum! Click the pic for more!

Popeye was on to something!

So I was flipping through my new Self magazine, and came across a tip in their eat-right flash. If you have a little chubb in the tummy region, you may not be getting enough nutrients. Diets with low calcium and vitamin C may increase your odds of gaining tummy fat, which puts you at higher risk for heart disease. So snack on some spinach to help tone the tummy. Spinach contains plenty of calcium and vitamin C! Plus it's soooo...good in salad!

Get in line for this LINER!

Ok I'm not a big eyeliner person, but guess what?!?! That totally changed yesterday around 5 p.m. in Nordstrom at Arden Fair when I tried Chanel's Liquid Eyeliner! I love it! Now using liquid eyeliner kinda takes some getting used to, applying it can be quite comical the first couple of times, but you'll get the hang of it. Trust me if I can...you can. It's pretty expensive at $30, but treat yourself! It lasts forever and is totally worth every penny. Click the pic for more info.

load up on the fiber!

Self.com can actually send you texts with little tips on losing weight and my most recent text was all about fiber. Women who ate high-fiber cereal lost weight without losing nutrients. They also said to look for 5 grams of fiber for every 100 calories. A cereal I love is Fiber One, it's loaded with lots and lots of fiber (hence the name lol)! Then just add some fruit and chow down!!! Yum! Click the pic for more Fiber One products. Also Hungry-Girl sent an email this morning that was all about fiber too. So here's the link. Enjoy!

So I got some free samples at the store the other day for Olay's Moisturinse and I love it! I need to pick up a bottle today since I'm all out of sample bottles (I have an addiction to free samples...it's kinda sad). I've even received compliments on how soft my skin feels after using this stuff:) It's kinda like a conditioner for your skin.
