Fiesta Lime Rice...made skinny of course

One of the hardest things about my new clean eating/healthy lifestyle is not totally indulging in Mexican cuisines!  This dish I think is just enough of a tease to hold me over till Cinco de Mayo when I plan on totally falling off the band-wagon for the day!

Quote Of The Week

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows. And the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

Bun Fun...

I literally rock a bun on a daily basis.  My hair always starts the day down and slowly goes to a low messy bun to being perched on the tip top of my head!

I adore the bun look...it takes me back to my days of dance and it's so versatile. 

It can be a messy bun paired with a super chill look of a tee, denims, and your favorite kicks OR dress it up with a precise bun and LBD with your fave pair of pumps!

Some of you I'm sure have seen the "doughnut" floating aruond the blog world!  It's absoulte perfection for creating a bun!

Pick yours up here!

For The Love Of Cooking: Papaya Avocado Salad

I have been (if I do say so myself) kicking booty on my new healthy lifestyle, clean eating plan!

I am down 8lbs and have 8 more to go to reach goal by end of April!

The only probably I tend to run into is boring food choices!

I am just about over, tilapia, tuna, and chicken...and almonds and sweet potatoes, don't even get me started!  I am on a serious mission to add a few new items to the daily routine and mix things up a bit!  This salad I completely think will do the trick!  I even think adding this mixture to the top of fish or chicken would be a major and delish plus!

Preggo Chic...

I have this crazy weird obsession with maternity clothes and preggo style!

I'm not sure if it's sheer fear that baby equals no more skinnies and pumps or that the styles are limited or maybe in reality I'm just dreaming of the day I actually have to stress the idea of  preggo chic style?? 

I love that all my girlfriends have had not only their first but some are actually expecting baby number two (3 of my closest girlfriends are due this summer).  I am constantly asking about their pants and tips and tricks for making the look stylish yet comfy.

I am absolutely no where even close to having to up the maternity clothing section in my closet but, when the day comes...I am sure to be prepared!
