Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas

Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas

Since I’m back on my health kick I knew I needed something else besides my lean shakes to have in the morning. My Lean shakes are great for when I’m in a rush and I want to have breakfast on the train but now that I’ve been getting up at 4:30am for my morning workouts I have more than enough time to sit down and enjoy something a little more appetizing.  Years ago when I was on Weight Watchers I used to make these Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas. They were my absolute fave and I loved how I could…

The Bucket Bag is Back!

The Bucket Bag is Back!

The Bucket Bag is no longer that trendy bag that you use for a time and then put it away. It’s here to stay thanks to Mansur Gavriel’s Bucket bag that took the industry by storm this past spring and quickly sold out. If you still must have that bag you’re in luck because it’s restocking in December just in time for the Holidays and Barney’s has the Mansu Gavriel Rosa Saffiano style available exclusively Everywhere you look there is a bucket bag to fit every budget. The bag is incredibly versatile and is great for someone who doesn’t like…

Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

We all wanted to fall in love with the new Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners.

In m opinion the Milani Constellation Gel liners miss the mark. They can be worn as a liner but not smudged to give the effect of…

My body definitely isn’t what it used to be. Realizing this and learning to accept it has been the hardest thing for me to grasp mentally. I’ve always been pretty confident but when I look back at pictures of me sharing my outfit of the day I can’t help but get depressed at how  much weight I’ve allowed just to pile up on my body. I held a part time job in the fast food for about 10 years and as much as I ate all the fatty fried foods I not once had a problem with weight gain. It…

OOTD-Cute in Camo

OOTD-Cute in Camo

Military life runs in my family. My dad is a retired US Army Colonel and many other uncles also served their country. I did a small stint of Army ROTC while in college but quickly realized that it wasn’t for me. Though I gave up my BDU’s I still can’t help but love camo so when I spotted these Camo Twill Pants at Loft I just knew I had to have them. Since I’m a curvy gal LOFT Marisa cut jeans fit me perfectly, though I’ve had to painstakingly  learn that it’s not about the actual size on the jeans…
