I have a radar for certain things…one of which is Whole Foods.  It’s a special talent really, and quite handy.  Drop me in a foreign neighborhood, and I can sniff out Starbucks and WF like my life meal depends on it.  The weather was SO nice this weekend, Kyle and I spent as much time outside as possible, so I definitely spent a significant chunk of my last paycheck eating out.  Who wants to slave away in the kitch when it’s 80 degrees out!?  Not exactly the best for the bank account, but my tummy… Read more >

After Heather’s recent post about processed products, I thought I’d add in my two cents (after all, I am a hippie).   Sure, I’m pretty minimalist in the beautifying department, but I am a girl!!  So what’s a hippie to do?!

First of all, I’d like to start off by thanking itsawrapteacher for sharing her love.  She passed along this …so cute, right?  I think she’s such a lovely, fabulous lady, I hope she knows it!  I, too, feel the support of this entire blog community on a daily basis, so I feel like I should pass on the warm & fuzzies.

Sure, it’s silly… Read more >

I’m writing this while stuck on a plane, half way across the country, bored out of my mind since The Office and 30 Rock have already aired and Kyle’s preoccupied with the Celtics/Bulls game.  Why not blog about some of the latest products I’ve tried? I was a bit hesitant to try Raw Revolution’s Tropical Mango flavor, since my previous experience with the Chocolate Coconut was not so pleasant.  But I got over it (once I realized my presh odwallas and clifs were done-zo).  This bar was EVERYTHING short of spectacular.  In no way would… Read more >

Of torture!!!! But I am proud to say I completed my first half marathon (!!)…and I’m still alive to tell you all about it!! My final time (according to my iPod stopwatch) was 1:43:27 Not too bad considering my goal was to finish not come in last.  I actually kinda kicked some ass.
