Occasionally, I get emails from companies to try out and review their products, and I must admit I was intrigued when I got an email about a line of lip products that were tea- flavored. I decided to test em' out because you all know how much I absolutely love tea (especially green tea, not that I had to remind you.) I had the opportunity to ...

Every once in awhile I love to do these posts and I love it when other bloggers do them too! Here's the celebs I've been inspired by lately: Rachel Bilson---always looking lovely and stylish.

Spring Fever: New Sheets & Home Accents
Most of the ladies around the country can relate---it's FREEZING outside. My deepest sympathies to everyone dealing with the awful snow outside right now. Ick!

Motivation Mondays: How Do You Measure Success? & LuluLemon Picks!
I got a question on my formspring page today asking me whether or not I've lost weight or inches from working out. I've definitely lost inches on my body---and gained muscle mass--- but I only know this because of how I look and how my clothes fit. I don't weigh myself or take measurements. I'm not on a weight loss journey like some health and ...
Sunday Soup: My First Attempt at Cooking Healthy!
Cooking and I, we have a mixed history. I'm not one of those people that loves to grocery shop for ingredients and then cook something awesome. I don't enjoy any part of it really. However, in my quest to eat healthier and incorporate more veggies into my life, realized I'd have to cook in order to accomplish that goal. I hate ...

OOTD: A Standout Piece
Do you ever buy something that you think is really cute and then end up wearing it so much that you realize it was one of your best buys of the season? That's how I feel about this H&M sweater coat. I can only think that my grandma's sweet spirit was shining down on me when I discovered this sweater coat while shopping in Bratislava after her ...
I’m Having a Colonoscopy
The title says it all, folks. I finally went to see a gastroentronologist after dealing with IBS (and its many, many symptoms) since I've been a teenager. I've seen many doctors and done many tests over the years but I'm still having issues and I'd just like to get my digestive system back to normal (if that's possible for me). In the ...
Motivation Mondays: Jamie’s Back to Talk Swimming!
Do what you love! Since my last motivation Monday post a lot has changed. I'm going to be completely honest with you. I used to be the kind of person that would work out once a week if at all in the winter, and then when April rolled around I would grudgingly up my workouts to 3 a week and hate working out. I am in school as well and I ...
