Meal Prep: Gluten Free Pasta and Organic Veggies

I’m no cook, like at all. I literally started cooking maybe two or three months ago, but now I’m trying out other recipes besides chicken and other meats. I want to eat more veggies, besides salads, because those are getting old real fast, so I decided to make pesto pasta and add a bunch of vegetables to that! Since I don’t really have time to cook throughout the week, because my commute to work…

I haven’t had the need or desire to weigh myself until recently. I broke up with the scale a few months back when I noticed quite a difference in my body, I was leaner and my arms were more toned, but the scale actually said I’d gained two or three pounds. That’s when I stopped because even though I knew my body looked different, that sense of pride was overshadowed by the number on the scale.

J…

I’ve gotten rid of a ton of clothes lately so accessories are key to changing the vibes of my outfits especially since they’re repeat outfits. (Yes, I’m now a die hard outfit repeater.)

My loves and normal go-to earrings are these slightly thicker ones from F21. Unfortunately three out of four of these accessories are from there; mind you I’ll never shop there again, they’re customer service…

Mid May Challenge – Update

 Two weeks ago I decided to give myself a challenge to do the following:

1. No more TV dinners

2. Drink more water in the morning

3. Start mediating once a day.

4. Eat at the dinner table.

5. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same times of day regardless of if you’re hungry or not.

–

I’ll give myself a B since I was only able to achieve 4/5 every single day.

1. No TV dinners? No problem. I…

Running Along the Embarcadero

I was finally able to run along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, and to say it was beautiful would probably be an understatement. The breeze, the warm air, and seeing tons of fellow runners made it that much easier to keep running. This was also my first time running with a friend, which was a bit nerve-racking because I’m not much of a talker when I workout and I wasn’t sure if I could keep…

Decluttering My Makeup Collection

I have soooo much makeup.

Way too much in fact. So much so that I realized I don’t use at least 40% of it. Especially the lipsticks. I probably had over 70 lip products. But no more. I’ve decided to declutter my makeup collection, and only keep the items I use.

Now I know this sounds scary, but it’s really not once you start going through your collection. As I went through…

Nasty Gal – Moto w/ a Pop of Color

Outfit Breakdown

Moto: Nasty Gal, Crop Top: Topshop, Shorts: Topshop, Boots: Steve Madden, Sunnies: Quay

I’m not always one for a pop of color but I love this moto from Nasty Gal because it spices up any outfit. It’s one of those jackets that can be thrown over a LBD, jeans & a tee, or shorts! It definitely gets chilly in San Francisco, especially at night, but this jacket is warm and…

I know this title is misleading. No, my nails are not the normal square, basic, white French tips.

They have a bit of flare to them.

Pointed. Touch of sparkle. Edge.

Those are the extra details I’ve added to nails to make them look not so basic, but clean. I took a hiatus from getting my nails done for about two months because I get tired of maintaining them, they can get very expensive, and I…
