The Vinyasa Scarf

My newest obsession: The Vinyasa scarf from Lululemon. Nice wide scarf that can be tied 17 different ways! (Seriously, youtube it. It's amazing.) Made of super soft "rulu" fabric, it can be turned into an "infinity" scarf just by buttoning some snaps (SNAPS!!!). I love it. I'm obsessed. Totally worth the $48, which seems steep for a scarf. 

So, I've decided that I am very unhappy with my body these days. I've let myself gain weight and lose muscle tone in the last year or so. I freaking hate it! None of my damn pants fit, and I refuse to buy new ones unless I get back to my old size. Looks like I'm doomed to leggings, jeggings, lululemon pants, and T's hair elastic button pregnancy trick for now. A non-pregnant woman shouldn't have to use an elastic to close the clasp on their pants!! 

I'm in a vicious cycle of feeling like crap and not wanting to get out of bed and do anything, therefore not losing weight because all I do is eat my weight loss woes in Doritos, and lounge around on the couch. You see, I have a love-hate relationship with carbs. Big, bad, evil carbs. Being a vegetarian that hates to cook and loves to eat crap, I have a really hard time having a balanced diet. My diet mostly consists of pizza and Pepsi. BAD! Soda=evil, white bread carbs=bad, greasy cheese=bad, creamy dips=bad. So today, I'm done. I'm done being too depressed about not fitting my clothes, and I'm not going to let myself be in the same spot or worse in a year. So today, in front of the interwebs, I'm starting small. No more sugary soda, juice, fattening coffee creamer or syrups. Next stop, kicking crappy carbs! I'll keep you posted.

Turnaround Concentrate

Alright, T and I went to Holt Renfrew awhile back for a free Clinique makeup and skincare tutorial. We just signed up for it for fun, thinking we'd get to try something new and see what it would look like. Little did I know that I would totally learn about my skin and how to care for it, and fall in love with a product to boot! During this "makeover" the girl working on my face used a little something called "Turnaround Concentrate." It is a pre-moisturizer serum you apply after your face wash and toner, and it boasts "radiance renewing" properties. This crap is amazing!! I use it twice a day now, and I've seen fewer breakouts, and more even and softer skin on my face. If you have dry, easily irritated skin like me, I totally recommend this awesome serum!
