Hair - Miracle

I am always looking for the next great thing- especially when it comes to hair care/accessories.

Yesterday I stumbled across Goody's new line Simple Styles.

The new accessories include the Spin Pins, Pony Pouf Clip, Volume Boost Comb and Modern Updo Maker.

After some speculation and many You-Tube videos later - I decided it was worth a shot.

(mute music at the bottom of the page before playing video)

I rushed over to Target (only sold at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS and online) and snagged the Spin Pins and the Modern Updo Maker. Both tools were around $6.00 each and boy were they worth it!!

I mainly got these for the hot summer days at the lake when I don't feel like fooling with my long hair but after I tried them both out -I don't ever want to wear my hair down again!

Definite 2 thumbs up!

Re-MIX

Does anyone remember Sprite Remix?

I use to buy one everyday after cheerleading practice in High School.

I was poking around to see where I could get some and to my dismay found out that they discontinued the drink in 2005!! How could they?!

I did find an online petition to bring it back!

Tesh Tuesday- Break those Bad Eating Habits!

Break Your Bad Eating Habits

Want to get in shape for summer? Then start breaking your bad eating habits now! Here’s a list of the most common bad eating habits, with tips to help you break them, courtesy of Rodale publishing:

• Bad eating habit #1: You skip meals. Nutrition experts say your brain runs on glucose, which is a simple sugar produced by the breakdown of food. So when you skip meals, you basically deprive your brain of the glucose it needs to make simple decisions – like saying “no” to unhealthy snacks. That’s why people who eat throughout the day generally eat less overall. It’s because their brain gets a steady supply of healthy glucose. So, you should aim for three meals at 400 calories a piece, plus two snacks under 200 calories.

• The next bad eating habit: Pigging out on the weekends. A recent study found that fatty foods contain an acid which blocks the body’s ability to regulate hunger for up to three days! So, gorging on chicken wings Friday through Sunday will prime your brain to keep overeating well into Wednesday! In other words: Limit yourself to only ONE diet-cheating meal during the weekend - not three full days of them.

• Another bad eating habit: Munching too many salty snacks. As we’ve talked about before, sodium dehydrates the body in a way that causes us to crave more snacks. A Boston University study found that what most people really crave in snack foods is the crunching sound – not the sugar or salt. So, consider replacing a bag of potato chips with a bag of celery sticks, or baby carrots. You may find that as you eat fewer salty snacks, you’ll crave fewer snacks overall.

• Bad eating habit #4: You eat in front of the TV. Researchers at the University of Chicago call this “a double whammy” to your diet, because you’re ingesting calories while burning none. If your TV time cuts into your sleep time, studies have shown you’ll eat up to 200 more calories the next day!

• Here’s one more bad habit: Drinking alcohol. One beer a night can add more than a thousand calories to your diet in a week! So, before you try breaking any of your bad food habits, try skipping the booze first.

Call it Love

with Emma Pillsbury's telephone brooch.

I immediately made Michael Google "rotary telephone brooch" and 30 seconds later I was staring at the most amazing blog I have ever stumbled across.

(2 amazing moments within 1 minute is dangerous)

What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear? is by far the cutest (most ingenious) blog ever. Not only was I looking at THE Telephone Brooch but pages and pages of "Where to find what Emma was wearing". It was like having a personal shopper at the click of my mouse.

Thankfully others had also adored Emma's brooch and Danielle was kind enough to find some wonderful options on Etsy and yours truly took full advantage. I cannot wait for it to get here!

Thanks Danielle and please go check out
