Bachelorette Live Viewing Party

This season of the Bachelorette has come to an end and Emily will be picking her guy tonight! Who do you think it’s going to be… Jef (with 1 F) or Arie? I can’t wait to see. I think Emily has done an amazing job as the Bachelorette and has narrowed it down to two men that she could really have a relationship outside the world of Reality TV cameras. But my question is… will there be a proposal? What is the reason for a Live After the Final Rose? We’ll just have to watch and see!

To end this exciting season Kiptyn and I will be hosting a Live Viewing Party along with EXTRA TV host, Renee Bargh and our old Bachelor Pad cast mate, The Weatherman. Join us at 5PM PST/8PM EST TONIGHT (Sunday, July 22, 2012) right here. The Spree Cast below is where we can all watch the show together, interact with …

Healthy Travel Tip:

Bring your Waffle Maker!

I have recently discovered my new trick for when I’m traveling… bring my waffle maker! It’s brilliant! Why? Well, there’s actually a lot you can make with a waffle maker, but for me, I can make my favorite healthy gluten free breakfast every morning while traveling. I am crazy about these Protein Pancakes that I now make as waffles, it’s my favorite meal and recipe from the Nutrition Plan that I live by!

Let’s get to the point here… are you still scratching your head about packing a waffle maker on your next trip? Well, think about this… You can save money on room service and hotel breakfasts, you can eat healthy, and have a delicious breakfast! After-all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Oh, and most importantly for my gluten free friends, this is one way you can avoid at least …

Gluten free in Washington DC

In recent travels to our nation’s capital I was pleasantly surprised by how gluten free friendly the area was. On the first day from some research through Google, I found a gluten free friendly restaurant, Open City, right across the street from our hotel. It wasn’t just “gluten free friendly”, but they actually had g-free options. The staff was even knowledgeable. When I asked how their kitchen made their gluten-free items I was thrilled to hear that they use clean surfaces and that the owners wife is gluten intolerant and everything has to be up to her standards. This made me happy to hear as many restaurants could have gluten free offerings, but lack a clean gluten free environment in the kitchen. This place seemed to do it’s best to provide that.

Not often do you find a restaurant that serves gluten free pastries, but for breakfast I got to enjoy an egg white omelet, …

G-Free Travel Snacks

Gluten Free friends, as you know traveling is a challenge when it comes to simply feeding yourself. I have sat on airplanes and in airports so hungry due to little or no options of g-free choices.  It seems almost impossible at the airport restaurants to avoid cross contamination, and all of the pre-made salads don’t give enough details of contents and preparation, and forget sandwiches- we’ve learned to move on from that option as soon as we said as we said goodbye to gluten. And I can’t even count how many times I have been on a flight when the only snack options were cookies, crackers, or pretzel mixes. The flights over three hours are the worst. So now, I just pack my own snacks, better safe then sorry. This also leaves me with easy go to options when I get to my destination (beats racking up the mini-bar bill). So no more hunger, just pack yourself …

The Wonders of Coconut Oil

CONFIDENCE IS KEY IN YOUR BIKINI

It’s Bikini season as summer is right around the corner, are you ready?!

This year I actually felt ready to hit the beach as I vacationed in Maui. Here’s the secret to feeling ready…

My greatest secret for looking bikini ready is confidence. Honestly, I haven’t always had the confidence that I want to have, I am just as human as anyone else, so I have made a choice to do something about it. It wouldn’t be fair of me to not share with you how I gained this dose of healthy confidence, so here we go…

Time to get really honest… I have always been active and cared about being in shape and working out, but I had horrible eating habits. I would skip meals, and end up pigging out on junk food. There was nothing fun about that, but for some reason I thought it was the way to do it. …

Workout with my iPad

Confession… I despise the gym, but I love fitness and working out. Anyone else in my shoes?

I hear you! Glad we’re in this together.

So what do I do at the gym and why do I even bother?

Truth is, I don’t hate the gym completely. Once I get myself to the gym and get my workout in, I feel great by the time I’m heading home. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to get myself to the gym, but I have found a few tricks that get me there and make my time enjoyable. Yep, I said enjoyable.

More than half of my workouts I do outdoors or in a class, but sometimes there is no way around the gym. Plus, I have a gym membership, and once you get to know me you learn that I’m not a wasteful person, so I have to make sure I get my money’s worth out …

my EVERYDAY necklace

When it comes to jewelry I am simple. I love dressing up and putting on all of my “dressy jewels”, but when it comes to my everyday jewelry you’ll find me wearing a simple necklace and maybe simple stud earrings. I thought I’d share with you my most recent favorite “everyday” necklace!

I have been a long time admirer of the Dogeared necklaces and just recently treated myself to one! I gave it to myself as an early birthday present, but really I didn’t need an excuse to buy myself something that I could wear everyday. These necklaces are so dainty I mix it with other metals and layer with other statement pieces, it blends in perfectly, I’m not kidding when I say I wear it all the time.

These necklaces are great gifts, not only for yourself but for your bestie’s birthday, a bride to be, or even a new mom. 

A HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA FOR YOU!

I wanted to share a gift idea with all of you that will change your life. I gave this gift to myself around this time last year and my life has been forever changed. Consider this gift for yourself or someone else this year, we all deserve to give ourselves the opportunity of a long, healthy, and happy lifetime!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
