This isn't a true Motivation Mondays post, but a lot of my lovely readers have been requesting that I post more about my fitness routine and eating habits. I'll touch on the eating part first, because I've just been really struggling with my IBS lately so I'm seeing a specialist this month to talk about what kinds of foods might help me (I'm ...

Getting Personal: Why I had a Breast Augmentation
What a title, huh? Might as well keep it simple and to the point. A lot of you ladies who read my blog know that I underwent breast augmentation surgery in April of 2007, about a month away from my 24th birthday. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself and because I get a lot of questions and emails about the procedure and ...
Weekend Shopping: I Heart Neiman Marcus (&OOTD)
I slept until 10 a.m. this morning and lazily laid in bed until 10:30 or so watching TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress." I'm a "need 8 hours of sleep" kind of girl and I tend to listen to my mind and body---so if I sleep in on a weekend, I'm thinking it's because my body needed it to "regenerate" (or something like that). I finally rolled myself ...
Sudsing Up: All About My Hair-Washing Routine
I get a lot of questions about my hair, and specifically "how the heck do you you days and days without washing it?" It took me awhile to get my hair to the point it is now, where I don't have to wash it more than a couple of times a week. It's a process and I'm not saying this method will work for everyone, but it works for me. First a little ...
OOTD & (Celebrity) Looks I’m Loving Now
I wore this dress on Tuesday, so technically it's not an outfit of the day (more like, outfit from the other day) but I thought I'd share it anyway. Dress- Zara Belt- Tory Burch (got it at the outlet & I'm wearing it backwards) Tights- HUE Shoes- Jessica Simpson Cardigan- Express Watch- Michael Kors Bracelets- Banana Republic & Swarovski ...
Therapy Tuesdays: A Discussion on Self Confidence and Self Esteem (w/ some of my favorite bloggers!)
I'm so excited today because I get to share with you a new project that I've been working on for this blog. It's kind of a spinoff of "Motivation Mondays" but it's about confidence and self esteem. The best part is that I get to work with some of my awesome blogger friends (and real-life friends too!) so that there's a diverse ...
OOTD: Sunday Brunch
Since we missed Christmas with family this year, H and I invited his parents to Sunday brunch at this great local place where they've got everything from bacon and omelets to pastries and chocolate-covered strawberries. I wore my favorite top from Target. I bought it right before our trip to Paris and I wore the heck out of it while we were gone ...
2011 Resolutions—New Year, New Goals
This is a post I've been looking forward to writing. I love sharing my goals with my readers and I'd also love to learn what everyone else hopes to accomplish this year. I like to call them goals rather than resolutions because I think the word "resolution" has all of these "bound to fail" connotations to it. So, here we ...
Paris & London Wrap-Up: Observations on Fashion, Makeup & More!
It's only Wednesday night and I already feel like this week has passed me by. I finally had a chance to review my notes from our trip---they're all just random observations from our travels abroad. I made sure to document what I was seeing fashion and beauty wise too, because I always notice what people wear, their hair and makeup no ...
What I Bought in Paris & London (Not Much at All)
A lot of you lovely ladies have been asking what I bought on our trip---the truth is, not much at all! I enjoyed a lot of window shopping while we were abroad. For designer items especially, the prices were simply so much higher than what you'd pay for the same item in the US, so I decided to only buy things I haven't seen in the US or can ...
