As much as I'd like to make it to the gym daily, the reality is the fact that I just don't always have the time. And yes I know there are LOTS of things I can do without going to the gym, but I still NEED THE TIME! For me personally, here are my excuses (because I'm keeping it real here people... ): * Drive time back and forth to the gym * I want to rinse off after and pretty up if I have people to see * I can't concentrate and enjoy it … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Pineapple Plush
Fuzzy Friday means cheers to the weekend. And can I just say, whew!... but it's only just begun for me! {wink!} A little fruity vodka concoction I share with you today... shake and dump it out. That doesn't sound that appealing, but that's how you do it, because on this little number, we're using frozen pineapple chunks as the ice. The more you let the pineapple settle and marry the vodka, the better it is. Pineapple Plush Strawberry … [Read more...]
Matte Nails
I have a confession to make. I'm a sucker when it comes to going to Target, CVS, Walgreen's, and I pass a great lip or nail display. It's very very hard for me to leave empty handed. There. I said it and got it off my chest. So needless to day I have a buffet of nail polish and lipsticks, all very close in color. Who relates here? You know what I'm talking about and you know who you are! {wink!} So I picked up this pale pink Essie … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Skinnygirl Sangria Cocktail
Sometimes the drinks we just pour and go are just what we need, especially if we're in a pinch, unexpected company comes over, or just don't want to mess with the fuss. That's where cocktails like Skinnygirl drinks are the best! They're super low calorie, they're yum, and they're perfect on their own or mixed with other things. And the low calorie part is always the best because seriously, I don't want to waste all my calories on my drinks. … [Read more...]
Baked Chicken and Angel Hair
I whipped up a little din din on the fly, of course didn't think a thing of it. Like, the way I make most of my things, it's really a splish of this and sprinkle of that, because that's kinda how most of us Greeks do it. And such was the case last night. But I posted a picture on instagram last night, and I thought I need to spread the love and share this one. I think the key that made this so good was 2 things. 1. The noodles were like … [Read more...]
Your Biggest Closet Questions Answered
Beautiful and organized closets are one of my obsessions. I don't know why that is, but it is. Maybe because it's such a personal space and seeing it all organized is kinda feng shui and brings a sense of zen to us, especially with things we love in that space. I can't say that my closet is always the most organized. For me, usually, it means once a week it gets picked up because the rest of the days I'm in frantic busy mode and I'm changing … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: The Irish Relaxer
Spring is full of rainy days and lots of those days are kinda chilly, and this week was one of those weeks. One of these chilly rainy afternoons, I decided to make myself a cup of coffee because it just sounded good... note that I'm not a regular coffee drinker. And I didn't want it because I needed that burst of caffeine... I wanted it for that warm-me-up-fuzzy-feeling inside. So I made my coffee... then I was like hmmmm... lets throw in … [Read more...]

Fashion Trend: Rompers and Gladiators
Finally, gladiators. I can remember wearing my gladiators 2 years ago and literally getting stares like I came from some other planet. Now, I'll be one of many sporting this look, because for me, nothing has changed. I still love em. This pair is a snake print, which to me seems a bit interesting and even a bit more "for my age" perhaps? Pair them with shorts. All kinds of shorts. Black shorts, jean shorts, white shorts. Today, I've … [Read more...]

Beverly Hills Midcentury Modernized Remodel
One of my favorite parts in home decor is mixing old with new to create a unique space that can't be bought in a furniture showroom floor. It gives character and personality to the room and is fun to watch to coming together of old with new. Such is the case with a Beverly Hills midcentury modernized remodel of a 1960's mid-century home in Beverly Hills. Hollywood A-listers Adam Sanderson and Rich Ross, Sanderson a top Disney exec and Ross … [Read more...]
Open Faced Omelette
Omelets are one of my favorite things to make for breakfast or really even any meal. Especially if you want to do breakfast for dinner, this would be a great option. Now you're probably saying "open faced"??? Like huh? Well, here's kinda how I look at it. I love lots of veggies in my omelets. It just is more filling and I'm getting more "bang for my buck" when it comes to calories and nutrition. But then when I try to fold it over and … [Read more...]
