The Skinny on Skinny Girl Cocktails


I will openly admit that I jumped right on the SkinnyGirl Margarita band wagon last year. I absolutely 'assumed' the cocktail was a healthier option for me. Now that Skinnygirl Cocktails are expanding.... I am becoming a bit more interested in whether or not investing in these products is really the right choice. No longer do they just offer margaritas and sangria, but they are now releasing three wines, four flavored vodkas, and a pina colada mix. 

My question is... Are these drinks really better for you?

Apparently, Whole Foods Market quickly yanked these products off the shelves due to the lack of the label listing the ingredients. "Natural Flavors" isn't quite enough info for Whole Foods to determine that the ingredients being used meet their standards. 

Given this info.. I may just stick to what I know. Vodka Club Soda with fresh lemon and lime.

Countdown til Memorial Day...

I cannot wait for summer to begin. The beach is my home away from home. 
No place makes me happier.


Some beach memories...

I've never been to Montreal and I hear it's pretty awesome. Also, the line-up is sick.

Happy Nurse's Week


Worth Every Penny


I just recently had my first facial. The esthetician highly recommended using a sponge to wash your face, as opposed to your hands, when removing make-up products. Taking that tidbit of information into consideration, I decided to purchase the Olay ProX Clarisonic @ my local drug store. It was on sale for only $25, which is an incredible deal when compared to $119 @ clarisonic.com. I happen to think my cheap, little guy does a fabulous job and I would highly recommend it! My face feels clean and refreshed after each wash. And it's gentle enough for 2x daily use. Sooo worth the investment.

Lolla

Last August, Kiel and I ventured out to Chicago for Lollapalooza. We had an incredible time. Amazing live music, stunning city views, baseball, and lots of QT with my honey. I desperately wish we were going back this year...




The lineup for this year is looking pretty incredible. 
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Black Keys
Florence + The Machine
Of Monsters and Men

Organic Treats from Trader Joe's

Chipotle Pepper Hummus. I love to dip green peppers.

The most amazing midnight treat, when all your body wants is chocolate.
I eat this almost every morning on a whole wheat english muffin. Peanut butter will never be the same.

Love these chips. So flavorful and delish when dipped in the chipotle pepper hummus.
Two cups = perfect afternoon snack.
I also discovered Alba Products @ Trader Joe's. The enzyme scrub is pretty incredible.

Check em out!
