A cucumber plant is starting to sprout after three short days of attention, love, and water! I am very proud! Grow veggies! Grow!
That’s my wee one and the tiny urban garden that I have planted in the back yard.
I started my garden, because my dear friend, Jane, dropped off three cherry tomato plants. Jane brought the plants over because she is 8 months pregnant & couldn’t stand to dig another hole! She’s so funny and sweet! I’m really glad that she thought of me, because I have been bit by the gardening bug again. (Perhaps, I shouldn’t use the word bug and garden in the same sentence! lol! Is that bad mojojo for the garden?!)
In addition to the tomato plants, I have planted sugar snap peas & cucumbers as well. I’m pretty stoked! I love having an excuse to get my hands dirty!
Are you gardening this summer?

So, I’m bout to get all freaky on you. I have a serious love affair with this detoxifying combo:
Apple Cider Vinegar + Baking Soda BATHS are the ammmmmmmmazzzzzzzzinnnnnngggggg! It’s the most relaxing bath you’ll ever take! & the ingredients are super cheap, natural, & alkaline which is great for your body’s largest organ, your skin.
THE DIRECTIONS TO BLISS:
*Pour some baking soda across the tub floor.
*Then add enough apple cider vinegar to make a chemical reaction.
*Finally, fill the tub with water.
If you wanna take a walk on the wild side, sugar, join me for a hella good bath!
Night, my pretties! Now go soak your bones ;p
60 POUNDS IN 5 MONTHS! Hey guys! It’s been too long since I’ve written a post! My weightloss is still happening. Everyday is another step closer to my goal. I’ve lost 60 POUNDS IN 5 MONTHS. Yes. 60 pounds! I’m the smaller than I was in high school, smaller than I was when I worked at the radio station, smaller than I was in college. The least I’ve ever weighed was 155 & that was in H.S. The smallest pants size I ever wore was a size 9. Right now, I’m 163 lbs & wait for it……….A SIZE…..I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT…….5! A SIZE 5! It seems like a dream! I was always told I was made to be thick & a lil chunky. Well, all of those people can kiss it. Seriously. Kiss my tiny butt, because I went from a size 17/18 to a a size 5 in 5 months! Keep your corner of the world full of love & be fierce at whatever you do. Much love
This morning as I was going to start Jillian Michaels’ Week 3 of Ripped in 30, my preteen said to me,
“Mom, you are trading in that muffin top for a pack.”
These words were worth every amount of encouragement I’ve ever craved. Thanks, kiddo!
(btw, Jillian is sadistic. I love her and what she is doing for my body and self confidence, but damn she’s kicking my butt….with love. Right?!)
Who needs nacho cheese on nachos? I don’t. I don’t need faux nacho cheese either. What I need to achieve the same taste & feeling of nachos I used to get at the College cafeteria are these ingredients:
-BEARITOS organic unsalted corn nacho chips
-chickpeas
-organic “canned” hot jalapeños
-salsa
-finely shredded romaine lettuce
Delish!
40 lbs down and a new diy haircut.
I found this pic on pintrest and modeled my hair after hers. God, do I love cutting my own hair. There’s nothing like a good razor cut and some personal attention.

I am 184.8 lbs. YES!
I haven’t weighed this little since ‘08. My body is starting to look like the body that “is” my body. You know, how I remember my body in my mind. It’s refreshing yet shocking, because I have lost almost 40 lbs in two months. Yes bitches, 40 LBS IN TWO MONTHS!
Break out the champagne!
“Deen, who told TODAY.com last year that she couldn’t do without butter or a deep-fryer, was called out by fellow food personality Anthony Bourdain in a TV Guide article for being ‘the worst, most dangerous person to America,’ who ‘revels in her unholy connections with evil corporations’ and is ‘proud of the fact that her food is f—-ing bad for you.’”
AND
She told today.com a year ago the above statement, but she was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes three years ago. She’s setting a great example for America.
She’s a chef not a dietitian, but now she IS a paid as a spokesperson for the pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk. joy.
