I once swore I would never buy a pair of FitFlops (then again I said that about Havaianas and Crocs) but for some reason, the other day when I was browsing around Solenad, I went into ResToeRun and fell in love with this cutie patootey pair. One of the claims that FitFlops makes is that [...]

If meat could talk, it would probably ask me this. I swear. Teehee. I’m a few days shy of two months since my transition to vegetarianism (minus the four meals I had before totally committing to my new lifestyle) and many times since then, I have been asked “don’t you miss it?”. Hmmm…. I never [...]

This came in the mail for me today. Several boxes, in fact As I have said many times over in this blog, I’m such a cheapskate I rarely buy stuff to try unless I’m sure it will work. Once I know it’s worth it, however, I don’t mind spending. Hehe.  And  so I’m really grateful [...]

It’s officially halfway through the first month of 2012 and I, for one, am still trying to lose the holiday weight. I’m sure many can resonate with my present dilemma (right, right??? haha!).
