Stress Less About the Scale
Do you weigh yourself every day? Do you worry about even the slightest change in your weight? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, you may be too focused on the scale — and if you’re trying to maintain healthy habits, this behavior can actually be counterproductive, since there are many factors that can cause your weight to fluctuate from one day (and even one hour) to the next. Fluid retention, hormonal shifts, constipation, and even the food you ate right before stepping on the scale can all cause daily weight fluctuations. These variations can be misleading and worrisome if you don’t understand them. For an accurate measurement…

CVS, Ulta & Sephora Beauty Haul
Last Saturday was a wonderfully warm spring day so I decided to do some beauty shopping! I was looking for the Mineral Wear Talc Free All in 1 ABC Cushion Foundation and the Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth Boosting Spotless Foundation from Physicians Formula and Freeman Beauty Charcoal & Black Sugar Mud Mask so I headed out to my first destination, Ulta! With my $3.50 coupon in hand I walked into Ulta. They were having buy one get one 50% off on Physicians Formula and if you spent $15 you also received a gold PF cosmetic bag. Unfortunately the PF’s display of products was pretty much wiped out which seems to…

Sephora’s “Paint It Pink” Beauty Box
Sephora’s “Paint It Pink” beauty box contains eight products (three are full size), it’s $40 (retail value is $122) and available for a limited time on Sephora’s website. Now, let’s check out what’s inside the box! The one product that made me want to buy the box is the Beauty Blender ($20). I haven’t purchased the Beauty Blender because of the cost.

Spring Fashion Haul
Spring was definitely in the air this past weekend! Saturday morning I decided it was time to do a little spring cleaning in my closet. As I was looking through my closet, I noticed that I have a nice fall/winter wardrobe filled with leggings, jeans, sweaters, long sleeved tops, dresses, blazers, jackets, scarves and boots and I realized that I didn’t have much of a spring/summer wardrobe. I needed the basics: shorts, capris, short sleeved tops, tanks, dresses and shoes. Let’s just say, I needed a complete spring/summer wardrobe, but I didn’t want to spend a fortune so I set my budget and went shopping! My first stop was Nordstrom…

How To Start A Walking Program
Walking is my choice for exercise. Walking is fuss-free, there’s no cost, and it’s easy to schedule and if you do it regularly, it reduces the risk of heart disease and can help you burn fat and lose weight. Uphill walks work your calf muscles, hamstrings and buttocks. Downhill walks are great for your thighs, and walking on level ground works your abdominal muscles and lower back. Where to Walk Walk anywhere you like, whether it’s indoors on a treadmill or outside at the park, by the sea or around your local neighborhood. Experiment with different routes that will challenge you with hills and varying terrains. Park your car farther…
