Chicks, I apologize, but it’s back to intense yoga certification modules and I won’t be able to post starting Friday for a bit.
So instead of “FCF”, it’s “FCT” for this week. I’ll keep adding to this post as the day/weekend goes along as I can
-
She is 43. Yes, FORTY-THREE! And granted, she trains like an Olympian b/c…well…she IS ONE, that bod is age-defying.

The other week I posted ideas for creative, healthful salads. How about shakes? Smoothies?
Base: almond milk, rice milk, aloe vera juice, fresh squeezed orange/apple/or carrot, soy milk
Fats: flaxseed or flaxseed oil, handful of nuts, avocado
Fruits: apple, orange, banana, berries, mango, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple
Other: ginger root, kale, spinach, parsley, celery, carrot, cucumber, greek yoghurt, protein powder, spirulina or “green” supplements, green tea powder,
Well… one of the summer editions!
It’s actually the last Travel Tuesday for July and the last one for a few weeks as I prep to go back for more yoga certification.
Let’s get on with it…
^ Fail. Unflattering at the bust-line. You paid for those puppies, gurlllll.
^ Fab
^ Fail. Separately, yes. All together? No. Fab on the scarf.
^ Fail. Once again: separately? Yes. Trendy? Sure. Those J Brands look better on someone taller and/or with a heel. Her top that falls out from under the bust-line makes her look sloppy with the pants. Or preggers. Let the rumors begin.
^ Run, Carrie, run. Fab.

* How about an easy, healthy meal idea?
Yum = raw, organic zucchini, cubed + tahini (sauce) + 1/2 avocado + chickpeas/garbanzo beans.
If you want to get really crazy, add spinach or mixed organic greens and make it a salad!
* Have you switched over to “pink” salt? You should. Salt your food w/o guilt! But…
What’s better (for you) than Himalayan (pink) salt? –> Deep Hawaiian Sea Salt!!
* Along with getting over your salt restriction, how about evolving your fear of FAT (some fats)?
Your body NEEDS fat to function (particularly your brain, skin and… oh yeah, your fat burning mechanisms!!)
* Summer is time to easy up on your heavy eating styles. Perfect time for an abundance of salads!!
If you simply cannot eat your salad without dressing than add some flaxseed (or olive, or grapeseed, or Barlean’s Essential Woman) oils and your special salt.
In a salad rut?! How about adding some (or ALL!) of the following: sprouted mung beans, sprouted raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, sunflower!, pumpkin…), beets, radishes, kidney beans, pinto beans, chickpeas, carrots, spinach, avocado, cranberries, cubed/diced apple…
* You know that green, lettuce-y garnish on your restaurant dinner plate? That’s KALE! A nutritional powerhouse! Eat up!
* Being bombarded by negative people and plain ol’ bitchyness?
Put a hand over your belly. This functions 2 ways, blocks the ‘bad stuff’ from 2nd and 3rd chakra (intuition) and umbilical area (sacred) and reminds you to belly breathe.
Wear more white! White reflects whereas black absorbs. Do not absorb their sh*t, ‘k?
* Just BREATHE!
Radiant fit chicks, we have such a hard time not shallow breathing don’t we? Inhale deeply. Inhaling is receiving. It’s OK to receive. Some of us are focused on the exhale and exhaling all the crap/toxins/negative/bad air/whatever but some of us (most of us…) are just chronic givers. Give, give, give & never take. That’s not healthy or balanced. Just be aware of it this weekend.
* Having you had your Vitamin D levels checked?
I admit I haven’t. (I tried @ my last blood screen, but my ex-doc wasn’t too ‘up’ on latest health news…she wouldn’t ok it) But after reading that most people (WOMEN especially) have low Vitamin D levels even if they live in tropical, sunny areas AND that lower levels contribute to depression, etc., I’m taking 2000iu of D3 (make sure it’s “3″) daily.
* Last but not least, enjoy this recent article from a Yahoo! subgroup this week & let me know if it resonates with you:

…the bedroom is the stage for this week’s (overdue) photos and reviews!
2 weeks ago Prada was having a great sale on S/S ‘10 products. I picked up this clear tote and this season’s “robot” bag. I love that the “chandelier” crystal theme was carried into these handbags. 
This bag actually has a detachable shoulder strap and a detachable inner wallet! Bonus.
After falling in love with the YSL Leopard for fall…well…I couldn’t resist:
They are so ridiculously comfortable. And hot.
Okay, let’s bring it down. Height-wise. These Tory Burch mocs were featured in May (…think that was the one…) US Vogue. They’re awesome with summer light styles and work-friendly. They are moderately comfortable in that the seams inside the toe box were rubbin’ my pinky toe when I wore them all day. No blisters, though.
Needed a new wallet for fall. I’m really horrible about using my nice wallets, or not using them rather. I tend to shove EVERYTHING into a Quicksilver coin purse.
If you’re a stud person and/or like embellishments, I highly recommend!
Last but not least, I have STALKED the new denim line coming out from Marni and Current/Elliot’s collaboration. They were expected to come in to Bergdorf’s/Neiman’s and Marni boutique last month. I have been unable to find them anywhere…UNTIL yesterday when my trusty Marni CS chick shot me an email to say they’re in. So today…I shot in! The nail-head grommet version is going to NYC so our local store had plenty of embellished skinnies and boyfriend-style versions in reg. denim wash and black. So comfy! And true to size.
The “pearlized” design in the black pair is actually grey in color. The embellishment on the skinnies is black color. So there.

((sniff sniff))
Missed you guys!
Now I’m on a break from the teacher training!
So, here we go:
^ Fab
^ Minor Fab. If the dress were a maxi-dress with that pattern & cut it’d be a FAB!
^ Fab ‘n easy
^ Fab. Got a side shot so you could see the heel of the boots. And there’s her requisite scarf-hanging-off-my-purse.
^ Um okay. You already know how I feel about the purse but um…I guess I’m going to Fab this even though she looks a bit chunky and those horizontal strips on the dress pattern are NOT doing her justice. WWTSS*
(* We Want To See Shoes)
Fab
^ Fab (There are those horizontal stripes again!!)
^ Fail. Period.
^ Fab & easy, part deux
^ FAB. Seriously LOVE her pants.
^ Fab. (Mom’s trying a wee bit too hard)
^ Fab. What would TT be without a little Posh-ness. Love that her hair is really growing out and love the YSLs.

Never fear, chicks! I haven’t abandoned you or travel pictures or fitness tips: …I’m still at yoga teacher training for my 200hr certification.
I’m on a ‘hiatus’ from the blog because of the crazy schedule.
In the meantime, between fasting, posing, reading, meditating, sharing, studying, and…well, driving, I will post to twitter lil’ tidbits here and there.
In fact, go there now b/c I posted a link to models’ fitness tips! And there’s not the, “I was born this way and I eat everything I want,” kind of tips.
When I’m on break from “TT” I’ll have more to share including shoe and bag reviews that I didn’t have time to post up here before last week.
How’s YOUR summer going?? If you have anything you’d like me to post in the meantime (pics, info, questions) I will do that. Right HERE. As long as it doesn’t have anything to do with ‘member’ enlargement or lash growth products.
love

We haven’t seen THIS casual of travel [or public] dressing in…ever.
In Kendra’s defense, I’ve seen her IRL at the airport and this IS how she dresses.
eh. dunno. What say you? She certainly looks athletically chic.
minor Fab. Not as figure flattering as her outfit for the first leg of this trip. I have that shirt though; it’s comfortable. And we’ve seen her wear it before so kudos for not being above a ‘repeat’.
Fail. Looks sloppy. I’ve seen her at the airport though and this is a more dressed up version (at least pants-wise).
Uhhhhhhhhh….ohhhhhh….it hurts! It hurts me to fail MK b/c I never fail an Olsen..

What’s in a SALE?
Americans & Canadians, where are YOU shopping this holiday week? Share!
Happy (almost) holiday week here in the US. Some of you hard-working girls will get a nice 3-day weekend. Travel safe!
And look who’s back this week for airport style!
^ Fab. (Gettin’ a little tired of seeing the skinny/tight cargo’s though…)
^ Fab. Better than Cindy; this style lends itself to an easy tee and a cropped cardigan or blazer not a flowy blouse, IMO. But see my comment above.
Fab. But too much volume, top and bottom. Her look would do better if she unrolled her cargo’s one roll. Where it’s hitting her now on her legs is not particularly flattering to her.
Fab. Easy. Comfortable. Not sloppy.
FAB - outfit of the travel week! One suggestion, in the pictures, the watermark from the picture source almost makes her shirt look dark grey, not black. I think going with a complementary color like that instead of all black, would play off her shoes and have been…well…FAB-er!
Fab. Say it with me: Private plane, I can wear what I want. She and her family were in the So. of France and it STILL is a cute look, plane or no plane.
FAB. It’s Posh. See my comment above.
