Love, love these! These are delish and they give you the crunchy fix you need- and you don’t feel horrible about yourself after eating them. My kind of snack.

Not only does this caffeine free tea taste good, but it’s got some cleansing qualities as well. The active ingredient is rooibos, which aids in digestion.

So try these 2 out if your haven’t already! xx

This past weekend was wet and gloomy, which was the perfect weekend to me. I actually love a cloudy, rainy day. It’s sort of therapeutic for me:) Anywho, I ran to Panera Bread for lunch, since I was craving needed something quick, warm, and delicious. Um, hello delicious soups! I pretty much fell in love {again} with the French Onion soup. A bowl is 230 calories of savory goodness. Next time I go back I mussttt try the new Creamy Tomato Soup. Delish!

Oh, and I was on the Panera website, and I found a yummy soup recipe that I will be trying ASAP! Here it is:

Southwest Chicken Soup

6 corn tortillas (6-inch), cut into ½-inch-wide strips
½ teaspoon chili powder
Pinch of salt, plus ¼ teaspoon
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in ¼-inch pieces
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
½ cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14 ounces) petite-cut diced tomatoes, drained
1 can (14 ounces) low-sodium chicken broth
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 lime wedges

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.

2. Place tortilla strips on a baking sheet, coat with cooking spray, and sprinkle with chili powder and pinch of salt. Bake until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté chicken thigh pieces until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, onion, and garlic, and cook until onions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook 1 minute.
4. Add broth, water, cumin, oregano, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Divide soup among bowls and top with tortilla strips, cheese, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

How did you get started in this amazing sport?

The idea was introduced to me freshman year in college during Track season by one of the coaches. He stated that I would be a great candidate for the sport taking note on how fast I was and most importantly how powerful I was, since I was heavier than your average sprinter. Apparently these were all great qualities for bobsled brakeman. Although it sounded interesting I was not
interested. The thought went in one ear and out the other.

After I graduated in May 2011 and completed all of my collegiate eligibility, a coach from the USA Bobsled committee contacted me inviting me to a combine that I did not attend because I still was not sure about it. Throughout the year I got a few emails asking if I was still interested – checking in on me. But it was not until August 2012 that I really sat back and thought about it more and said to myself, “why not?” I dropped everything and, began training for a few weeks before moving out to Lake Placid, New York to try out for the team. It was a pure leaf of faith.

What’s a typical day of training for you?

Long….consisting of three training sessions, weight training , speed training, and sliding session on ice.

Whats your favorite type of work out?

I enjoy a low impact work out like a pool work out. It takes away a lot of the stress and pain that as a bobsledder (or athlete) that I am constantly putting on my body. More specifically, my knees and back feel the most impact from sprinting a lot and from the awkward position I’m in as a brakeman in the back of a sled. It’s easy on the body but an amazing way to work out.

Healthy go-to snacks and/or meals?

Raw almonds by Blue Diamond, Jiffy peanut butter and apples/ bananas, protein shakes, and spinach leaves with cottage cheese, pineapples slices and cucumbers.

What’s your motto for staying healthy and fit?

Occasionally, I love to indulge in unhealthy snacks! So…when I want to grab a Snickers and/or a slurpee, I say to myself, ” a moment on the lips, is a life time on the hips” I really like this phrase/ motto. It’s one of my fave mantras that acts as a reminder to help me stay healthy and fit!

Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes // Urban Decay Naked 2 // Stila All Is Bright Lip Glaze Set // Sprout Lip Balm Flights

I love when great companies come out with sets and palettes with their most popular colors. You get to try a bit of everything, and explore some new colors that you might not have tried otherwise! They also make great gifts for the holiday season!
Lately I’ve been playing with lining my bottom lid with a pretty green or plum color, and this Make Up Forever Set gives 4 fun colors to play with, and they threw in a full size of black and brown liner. The Urban Decay Naked 2 palette is a fave of many make up artists and beauty junkies. The first Naked palette was great, but I especially love the colors in the second edition, they seem a little more sultry to me. It’s 50 bucks but the palette lasts for a really long time and comes with a shadow/crease brush, and a mini lip gloss. I pretty much love all of the shades in the Stila lip gloss set. I wrote a post on this wayyy back, and I still use them! They have some fun pinks, as well as great berry and neutral tones. My last love is new, these Sprout lip balms are the best!! I got the Cocoa one in my last Birchbox, and I had to get the whole set! They make my lips feel hydrated and silky smooth- great for chilly weather. And of course the Cocoa is my fave, I mean who doesn’t love the sweet smell of cocoa butter!?

I’m glad it’s over. All the turkey, stuffing, pies, and casseroles had me in a food coma and I’m ready to get back to normal. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE some good holiday food, and I don’t believe in depriving yourself of a delicious meal during the holiday season. Luckily for me, I cooked everything this year, just for AJ and I, so I had control over slimming down some of my dishes. Still, the amount of food I cooked was for an army and wayyy too much for 2 people! So now I’m stuck with left overs for days, and all I want to do is not feel bloated anymore. I’m thinking about doing a juice cleanse, but the thought is very intimidating for me, as I have never tried anything so extreme. It wouldn’t be to starve myself or even to lose weight necessarily (though if that happened I wouldn’t complain), but to cleanse my body and get rid of this holiday bloat. I’ve been looking up a couple to try, and you still get 1200-1500 calories a day, just through these juices. I’m thinking of starting out with a 3 day cleanse, and I know it’s not gonna be easy for me! Any suggestions? Has anyone tried a juice cleanse before?? xx

How would you describe your style?

My style is honestly a mixture of various elements and I dress based on how I feel. I don’t have one particular defined style. I’m a chameleon! I like to switch things up. But if I had to describe it I would say classic, tomboy chic, bohemian, playful and comfortable.

The holidays are upon us! What’s your perfect holiday party ensemble?

When I think about the holidays, I automatically think of shiny and sparkly! The perfect holiday ensemble to me would be a fitted trench coat and underneath a peplum top in a jewel tone such as emerald green, oxblood or neutral color like beige or blush, a chunky statement necklace, a knee length gold sequin skirt, and a chic strappy metallic heel.

Where do you like to shop?

I always shop online! It’s easier for me that way. I’m always scouring ASOS, Zara, Dorothy Perkins, Nasty Gal, Simply Be, Pixie Market and various shops on Etsy and eBay. On rare occasion, I will venture out to a vintage or thrift shop in my local town. I love thrifting!
