Exciting News For Gwyneth Made Me Do It

When I checked out It’s All Good just almost 3 weeks ago, I certainly never had any intention of doing more than try a few recipes, flip through photos of Gwyneth looking flawless with no makeup on, and maybe proving that gluten free baking was nothing more than a crock of shit. And I definitely […]

Daily Style – Baring More

For a while, it seemed like I was following this trend of the older I was got, the more makeup and products I began to use, and the more I started to cover up. Longer shorts, longer dresses, even trying a one-piece bathing suit for the first time. I also went through a period where […]

FInd Me Here and There

So to be honest, when the hullabaloo about Google Reader going away starting July 1st was going on, I didn’t much pay attention. At the time, July 1st seemed like a really long ways away, and I was still trying to get my kids to school on time, carrying homework that was completed and a […]

Dress – London Times; Shoes – Vera Wang For Kohl’s; Clutch – American Apparel; Cuff – Vintage As you all know, yesterday was Father’s Day. And so, to celebrate my husband, I decided to dress like a lady and wear one of his favorite dresses. I don’t know why he loves this dress so much, […]

When Being Thin Doesn’t Make You Happy

For my entire life, I’ve been what most would consider thin.  At 5’10”, I’ve always fluctuated between 125-140 pounds, 125 more during the high school years, and 140 after having children.  Four years ago this summer, I hit my “goal” weight of 125 pounds, a number I hadn’t weighed since I was 16, and declared […]

My 5 Favorite Juices & Smoothies

While technically Gwyneth didn’t make me actually start drinking juices, she did sort of push me to actually start juicing myself.  When I was pregnant with Hayden I had fierce cravings for citrus, and so I began going to Nektar at least once a week to get their Sublime juice.  The cravings grew into an […]
