Just because I live in Middle Georgia, it doesn’t mean I can’t look like I just left the beach! On days I’d rather leave the flat iron cold in its holder, I’ll go with this fun, beachy textured style. My hair has a natural wave to it, so by applying good product I can gain a great fresh from the sand look. Who doesn’t love a quick yet gorgeous hairstyle? I sure do! ;) My favorite products to achieve this look are: AG Curl Trigger Defining Spray is said to be ideal for fine hair, but...
Why be blah when you can sport the best looking fashion at the gym or, in my case, CrossFit box? Fitness fashion has come a long way in the past few years and I take advantage of that step forward Choosing tops, shorts, pants and shoes that enhance my CrossFit workouts and, like my regular clothes, show off my lean, muscular body is the only way to go in my book. A staple in my fitness wardrobe is the Nike Fundamental 2" Split Shorts made with Dri-FIT fabric that helps wick moisture away from...
Title: I love to cook… and eat! You may not have guessed it from my long, lithe figure (although the donkey booty gives some indication) but I love to eat! Being completely self made… read: broke and struggling at points ;) … I had to learn how to cook over time. Often you can find great cook books at second hand book stores. One of my favorite cook book finds over the years is this one. James Beard’s culinary career began with the opening of his catering company, Hors d’Oeu...
Oh, grocery shopping… don’t we all look forward to it with glee? Or not. ;) The average grocery shopper of today, is not the same as 20 years ago. Thank goodness today’s shoppers are far more knowledgeable of their food choices. This is a daunting reality for companies who are trying to market their not-so-healthy products to wary consumers. They’ve been forced to think creatively and bend the truth to appeal to their customer’s demands. Here are three shocking realities of...
How old do you think I am? 24? 25? 26? Ah, you flatter me! Well, I’ll allow you to continue to live under that delusion. ;) But if you’re anything like me (and if you’re reading this blog you probably are) you’ve looked in the mirror, pulled back your skin and wished longingly for the days your skin defined gravity and was smooth as silk. We all know, if you’re at all familiar with me, that I will be the first to volunteer as the guinea pig for any new type of treatment or product. I’m like t...
Never having been one to fit in, I’ve always been true to myself and lived life on my own terms. It’s a powerful message I hope to convey and inspire others with and I guess it makes sense my approach to CrossFit wouldn’t be much different than my approach to life ;) In CrossFit, levels are written as a different color on the WOD (Workout of the Day) Board: While every CrossFit box is different, my own lists scaled as green, Rx as blue and Rx Plus as red. You can also do a black workout which...
Fast, easy and fresh! If you’re anything like me, you’re increasingly seeking fresh, natural and minimally processed foods. People want to be able to read, pronounce and understand the ingredient lists on the side of packaged and fast food products. Younger consumers are demanding farm to table meals, but they certainly don’t want to be the farmer… can you imagine me hoeing a field? Or for that matter doing anything outside in the Georgia heat and humidity beyond laying by...
