DRINK YOUR TUMMY AWAY! (naturally)

Are you bikini ready????

Ok, so those that know me, know that I am not really a fan of dieting... The first three letters in "die"-t say it all. I am more interested in healthy and holistic than some "cut this or that" fad that is nearly impossible to stick with.
The hubby and I try to eat healthy, go for regular walks and try to stay as active as possible (schedule permitting, of course!) Lately though, I have really been doing my research trying to find natural cleanses and metabolism boosters to get my body in the right state and after quite a bit of reading I ran across this and had to share...
It is a honey and cinnamon "tea" that you drink twice a day and the benefits are out of this world. Not only is it shown to block the production of fat in the body but it also has so many health benefits and the best part... it is all natural and the ingredients are all found in your pantry! Bottom line is, it was a no brainer to add to my daily routine and I hope that after reading this, it will be for you too!

*Common known diseases and illnesses it is known to fight:
Cancer // Arthritis // Indegestion // Heart Disease // Bladder Infection // Cholesterol // Fatigue //Toothache //
Cold // Influenza // Upset Stomach // Immune System // Skin Infection // Weight Loss // Bad Breathe // Hearing Loss

Little Miss Hannah will be turning 4 (going on 20) and the strapping, young lad next to her, Clayton just turned 1 a couple of weeks ago! Aren't they just adorable!? Well, I hope everybody has a great weekend and I will be back Monday to share with you all the excitement!What are your plans this weekend?

Girls' Night

GIRLS' NIGHT IN!!!! It has been talked about before but the more I think about it I feel like it is turning into a must!... and SOON! A real honest-to-goodness fancy girls' night! Doesn’t it sound like fun!? The best part is here is the dress code for such an occassion:

These last couple of weeks have been crazy busy and utterly exhausting and today is no exception. To say I need a little girly pamper time is an understatement! All I can do now is day dream about lounging around in some cute pj's, munching on massive amounts of popcorn and sweets, and what would a girls' night be without champagne and fruity drinks!? Who's with me? 

SPRING LOOKS TO DIE FOR!

With our weather being so "wishy washy" lately it is driving me crazy and making it very difficult to plan outfits! One day it's cold, the next bright and sunny so all I can say is it has really made me so ready for Spring. Now, I know I really shouldn't say anything being that I live on the coast and our "winters" are anything but cold and harsh but it is still frustrating when it is not quite warm enough to consistently wear easy pieces like dresses and tops without sweaters. I've had some looks pinned on Pinterest that I am just thirsting to try this upcoming season. Some of my favorites being can be found in Hackwith Design's Spring 2013 line! Talk about obsessed!
