Bend it like Beckham!

So I've never played soccer before, but I am seriously thinking about joining a coed league just for fun AND to help me get back into shape. I was reading my Self mag (aka Alecia's Bible) and one of the Fitness Flash tips was all about soccer! According to a report by the University of Copenhagen, "those who took the field for an hour three times a week lost 8 pounds in three months, almost twice as much as those who steadily jogged an equal amount." So there ya have it. Plus it's fun! I suck at running TRUST ME ON THAT, but this looks like a great way to lose weight and make some new friends:) Why not?

Best smell ever!

So I don't know about you, but I mix up my fragrances every now and again. I used to wear Juicy all the damn time (I still do at night), but I needed something less heavy for Spring and I found it at Sephora the other day. Dior Addict Shine smells so GOOD! I wish you could smell this stuff online or something haha. It's really light and airy, just perfect for warmer weather. It's not too expensive either (as far as perfume goes).

Eva Longoria and I are now Pug lovin' sistas! She just got herself an adorable little black pug baby...sooooo cute! HOWEVER...my Lulu is totally cuter:) Congrats on your new baby Eva!

Here's Lu when she was about 12 weeks. Awww she was so tiny!

This was in Tahoe about a month ago. Baby's first time in the snow!!!

Skinny bitch is back!

I love these books!!! The authors of Skinny Bitch rock because they totally give you the tough love you need to get off your butt and start losing the lbs. So of course I'm super stoked to get their latest book!!! It has tons of diet-friendly recipes that don't taste awful...thank goodness! Pick up both copies, you will love 'em! Click the pic for the scoop:)

Fight the good fight!

The worst feeling is when you eat healthy, you stay on track, but no matter what you do YOU ARE STARVING! It sucks, because that's when you'll slip and chow down on some cookies. Well one great way to fight hunger (besides drinking lots of water) is to enjoy some soup! Progresso Light soups are endorsed by Weight Watchers and are delicious. Oh and the best part of course...only 0-1 POINT! That's it! Plus you get a huge portion. My fav is the veggie and noodle (it's by far the best). Click the pic for more.

spring into Spring!

I love me some Forever 21 dude! Exhibit A (see above). Cute little Spring dress and it's only...you ready for this??? $10.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap, can we say deal? I totally picked up two. Super cute and perfect for layering with a hot little slip or cami. Hit up the Arden store, they had a great selection! Click the pic to see all the different colors:)

your new best friend!

I'm constantly looking for ways to enjoy my favorite snack (chocolate) without packing on the pounds. See above! Vitalicious snacks are God sent for us chocolate lovers. Click the pic for more and to find a store near you:)

Need Dorito stained bootie shorts for your Spring wardrobe? If so click the pic for the full details on how you could own Brit Brit's clothes!

Is this a bump?

I don't know dude. These look pretty normal to me, but peeps are claiming Fergie is rockin' a bump. Fergie's mom told Ryan Seacrest that Fergs is "skinny skinny skinny" and is in no way with child. Only time will tell. Either way, the girl looks great!

Beat the heat!

If you love ice cream and had to cut it out of your diet to slim down for summer, guess what?!?!?! Skinny Cow is one of my favorite brands out there. Here's why...not only are they low fat, they are DELICIOUS! I just tried the Skinny Dippers and I have to say they are soooo freakin good. One dipper is only 80 calories and 3 grams of fat. Click the pic for more info and to find out where to get 'em in your area.

Prepare for Endfest!

Perez Hilton has the cutest shirt for all you Jonas Bros. lovers out there! This shirt is $28. Oh and they also have one for the guys:) Perfect for Endfest! Click the pic for more and to order.

not all stains are bad...

For example...Laura Mercier's lip stain in Mulberry is my new best friend. I picked mine up at Sephora for $20...yeah kinda expensive but it lasts forever and it's pretty!!!
There are tons of colors so find out which one works best for you by clicking the pic! Enjoy:)

Fat-Buster!

If you're trying to burn fat (and who isn't?) you might want to grab some grapefruit. It's high in vitamin C and boost your metabolism. Plus they're filling! One large grapefruit is only 106 calories and 0.4 grams of fat. Super good and super good for you!

Get some Fuji!!!

YUM! Now if you're dieting...chances are you're probably starving right now. Well put down the cookies (I know it's hard...cookies are a gift from God) and chew on an apple! I never realized how good apples are for you. For one they are loaded with fiber, which helps you feel fuller longer! We love that right? Depending on the size of the apple, (I like Fuji and Red Delicious apples the best) you're looking at 80-130 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, and 1-2 POINTS for WW. Hit up the grocery store and pick a bunch up today! Oh and I recommend organic fruits and veggies. They taste way better and are healthier for you!

Look 10 POUNDS thinner!

And you don't have to lose any weight to do it! HP cameras have a special slimming feature that will make you appear thinner! Are you frickin' kidding me?!?!?! AND a lot of these cameras are under $200! For a digital camera that's a great price (let's not forget the skinny perks). Click the pic to see how this slimming feature works and where you can buy one of these cameras for yourself!

the Skinny...

on my new favorite at Starbucks. The Skinny Caramel Latte YUM! The grande is 130 calories and 0 grams of fat! Gotta love that:) I tried the Skinny Mocha and loved it originally, but the after taste wasn't the best. Thank goodness for the Skinny Caramel Latte though, because it is all around delicious! Click the pic for the nutritional info.

Kashi is kashin' in!

So you may already know about Kashi's frozen dinners, but I discovered them last night at Target. Can I just tell you... THEY ARE DELICIOUS! I love the Chicken Pasta Pomodoro! I got a few others I haven't had a chance to try yet, but do yourself a favor and pick a few of these bad boys up. Lean Cuisines are my fav, but it's good to mix it up every now and again. Oh and here's the stats for Kashi (each dinner is a little bit different in nutrition but not by much).

More pickle news!

Not sure why I'm hearing so much about pickles lately but these are interesting to say the least. Maybe pickles are the new soy...no? Here check out the stats for an ounce of pickels...crazy...

I don't know what the exact stats on these Pickle Pops are, but I'm sure they're pretty healthy. Click the pics above for more info and let me know if you try these.

mmmm...CHOCOLATE!

Imagine sinking your teeth into a bar of soft, creamy Belgian milk chocolate WITHOUT any of the guilt!!! I know where the hell do I sign up right? Here's just another reason why I love Trader Joes! They have come up with a 100 calorie milk chocolate bar that tastes waaay too good to be true. Is your mouth watering yet? Here's the stats...1 bar is 100 calories, 6 grams of fat (hey it is chocolate) and 3 POINTS for WW. Pick it up at any Trader Joes near you!

So Divine and it is!

Ok I am sooooo OVER the dry skin on my face! You feeling me on this? If you are I did some research and supposedly this moisturizing cream cleanser from Make Up For Ever called So Divine works wonders. It's not cheap at $27, but if it can fix my dry skin then hell it's worth it! After payday I'm heading to Sephora to pick this stuff up (click the pic to buy yours). Hopefully it'll work. If you've used it before and have any feedback or another suggestion, please hit me up. I'd love to hear from you:)

Slurpee+Coffee=Delish!

I remember when I was super poor in college and would get 7-Eleven's 3/$1 taquitos for dinner because I couldn't afford a real one haha. So needless to say, 7-Eleven holds a special place in my heart. I haven't been there in awhile but you bet your butt I will be now! Introducing the Slurpuccino! It's so good and only 61 calories per 8 ounces and FAT FREE! Oh and WW peeps...that's only 1 POINT! Click the pic for a coupon and more info:)

Cute JEWELS!!!

So over the weekend I went to Sellout Buyout in Midtown and came across the cutest jewelry made by Good Friday (a local designer). The cool thing...almost all of the pieces are one of a kind (which means no one else will ever show up wearing the same thing as you)! I totally bought a little charm necklace and I love it! Plus they're not too expensive. Click any of the pics to visit the site and to purchase something for yourself!

Buffalo huh?

That's what I thought when I first saw it in the cooler while browsing the Sac CoOp. After asking a few questions I decided to give it a try and I am SO glad I did! You know when you cook regular ground meat, you always have that gross grease at the bottom of the pan that you have to drain? Well when you cook buffalo, I kid you not...NO GREASE AT ALL! It is so lean. It tastes even better in my opinion and has so many health benefits. It's also considerably lower in calories and fat. I'm sure most grocery stores sell buffalo, but I always get mine at the Sac CoOp on S St. and Alhambra. I suggest you a least try it out! I'm pretty sure you will love it! To read about the health benefits click the pic.

Sun-Kissed!

Get ready for Spring y'all! Bath and Body Works have a pretty good deal going right now. Buy their "i'm in the mood for scrub" foaming body buff ($20) and get one if these tanners FREE! Personally, I would go with "glow and steady" because it has SPF 15 as well as bronzer. Click the pic for full details on the offer!

Guac it Up!

100 calorie packs of guacamole!!! Say what??? I found it in Hungry Girl's daily email and I can't wait to pick some up. Each pouch has 100 calories, 8 grams of fat, 4 grams of fiber and for the WW peeps...2 POINTS! Click the pic for more:)

SHOP SHOP n SHOP some more!

Here's the low down for Sellout Buyout going down this Saturday from 3p-10p!!! You do NOT want to miss out!

Burger Bliss!

I grew up in Florida and lemme tell ya...Southerners LOVE them some BBQ! Hence my love for hamburgers. Well when you're on a diet, hamburgers usually aren't on the menu:( Luckily we have Jennie O Lean Turkey Burger Patties! They taste exactly the same and the stats are great! One patty is 160 calories, 8 grams of fat and 4 POINTS for the WW peeps. Click the pic for more.

Just a touch of SHIMMER!

I always love how celebs just glow! Their skin always appears flawless you know? Well we're not celebs, but we can still glow like the best of em! I love this product from Too Faced. It's called Candy Bar and you can use it as seperate eye shadows OR a face and body illuminator! Don't you just love that word...illuminator? You're going to illuminate the room with your beauty...ahhh...yeah it sounds good to me haha! It's only $25 at Victoria's Secret (click the pic for more). I'm sure Sephora and Ulta carry it as well though. Try it out and I hope you enjoy!

PICKLERRIFIC!

I love me some pickles! If you do too, then you should be stoked to know they help CURVE CRAVINGS! Yay! They are super low calorie, but high in sodium (so don't over do it). Just make sure you bring gum, because pickle breath isn't the cutest lol!

Make it count!

Ahhhh if only...(see above pic).
You know those crunches you do before bed...how many 100...300??? What if you found out all that hard work wasn't helping you get to that perfect flat tummy? Crazy right? Well Diet.com has a list of the 5 worst ab exercises and next week they'll post the best. THREE of the excercises on this list I have done and it bummed me out to know I wasted so much time on nothing. You should give it a read, you may be surprised. Click the pic for the article.

Urban LOVE!

Ok so I LOVE Urban Outfitters...but let's be honest here...they can be flippin expensive! $70 for a shirt is kinda crazy (unless it is "incredibly too good to pass up" cute and you have the money to treat yourself). Well they're making room for all of their Spring items, which means KICK ASS SALE! I recommend shopping online simply because it is so hard to find anything in there! The set up makes you feel like you're on a treasure hunt lol. Plus I've noticed prices are WAAAYYY cheaper online than in the store. Click the pic to shop and check out their dresses!!! So super cute:)

text magic!

This has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen!!! How many times have you gone to a restaurant and wished you knew how many calories you really were consuming? Well guesstimating can go out the window, because there's a new text service courtesy of diet.com! All you have to do is text the restaurant name and menu item you need help with to Diet1 (34381) and voila! It sends you the nutritional info right away and for the WW peeps out there...if you text points...it sends you that info too! Nutrition on the Go - Text Message to Diet1 (34381)!!!

Oh...they're dating alright!

See that lean??? That's the "oh we totally make out all the time" lean. They do look super cute together!

If that wasn't enough...here they are canoodling in the pool in Jamaica. They're pretty much the junior version of Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Ahem...look at his hands y'all! Awwww...I wonder if "With You" is about RiRi (ok now I'm being lame haha).
