This time of year is so dangerous, for my waistline that is. There’s candy, cookies and treats everywhere I look. I feel like I have to navigate the halls of my office with my head down. I don’t dare to look at any shelf, ledge or desk in fear that it will be topped with […]
I’ve been trying to watch what I eat lately, I’ve been tracking my calories and have been more adamant about working out daily. Not for any specific reason other than to just feel a bit healthier. So, of course I’ve been fantasizing about all sorts of goodies and sinfully delicious treats since I decided to […]
As sad as I am to see fall pass us by I have to say that I am excited about December. This month is filled with sparkly lights, hot chocolate, gifts wrapped with large bows, my birthday (hint hint to all my friends and family out there 🙂 ) and COOKIES! I love that during […]
This past weekend, I held a Pumpkin party for some of my closet gal pals. What’s a pumpkin party you ask? Basically, it’s an excuse for my girlfriends to come over, drink lots of champagne and wine, carve or paint pumpkins, indulge in some of the best pumpkin flavored foods, and have some fun “girl […]
Pumpkin season is back friends! I repeat, Pumpkin season is BACK and I could not be happier about it. The obsessive planner in me has already lined up a pumpkin patch visit and have moved my blazers, boots, and scarves to the front of my closet even though it’s still in the 80s/90s in Los […]
I absolutely love fall, its hands down my favorite season. To me it signifies a new year, a new beginning, a fresh start, so much more than January does. In the season that buzzes with anticipation you can choose to wear scarfs, blazers, tights, boots, etc. because you want to, not because you have to. […]
In my opinion, no holiday season is complete without some type of fudge. This quick and simple staple always brings a smile to my face and delight to my belly. What I love about fudge is that there are so many different types and each one yummy in their own special way. One of my […]
Over the past couple of months I’ve been trying to follow the Paleo diet. Basically, it’s a diet/lifestyle in which you do not have grains, beans, sugar, dairy, alcohol, etc. Besides it’s positive effect on my waist line it also makes me feel great; no more stomach aches or “food comas”. Now, if I was […]
Sometimes when I indulge in over decadent foods I silently (or not so silently) reprimand myself for my lack of self-control. There are some foods though, that no matter how much I know I shouldn’t eat it, because I will have to work out like a maniac to counteract its influence on me, I still succumb to the temptation. I’m too weak around […]
I was craving something sweet over the weekend but I didn’t want chocolate, shocker right? 🙂 I wanted something fruity, but with an earthy vibe. When I was at the market this weekend I spotted the perfect thing to satisfy my sweet craving, the delicious golden gems we refer to as dried apricots. Mmmm… there […]
