Thanksgiving is also time (even if you’re gearing up to finals!! acckkkk!!) to catch up on [...]
..at least make it as healthful as possible, no?
There is no perfect alchoholic drink for health-minded chicks. If it’s not calories, it’s sugar. Or sugar substitutes laden with chemicals.
On that note, let’s get our drink on!
Wine spritzer
-> Take your favorite white wine and mix it 40:60 or 30:70 with diet 7-UP
Cosmo
-> 1 oz fresh tangerine [...]

and while you’re at it - soak your OATS!
If you don’t have time or accessibility to cooking oats for your lunch or snack during the work or school day, you could opt to eat them dry….or not. The only time I like this is when they’re rolled in PB. But some die-hards really do eat [...]

* Have you switched over to “pink” salt? You should. Salt your food w/o guilt! But…
What’s better [...]

For logging in on my exercise and trying to eat as fresh & organic as possible.
(Practice what I preach!)
I can only remember as far back as last Saturday: 2hr Ashtanga yoga class
Sunday: “hot yoga” class and walking the dog

…Did you see it?
It was random that I happened to have it on.
I’d love to know what other chicks think/thought.
When I initially saw the title of this book way back when, I thought it was another diet book but tailored to the church-going crowd. I’d heard about people turning to religious groups for the purpose [...]
