    Longer days and rising temperatures may be all you need to jumpstart your workouts this spring.

    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!

Unfortunately the PF’s display of products was pretty much wiped out which seems to…

      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…
