Nautical is here to stay.

The Nautical trend has been all the rage for the last couple of years. And it looks like it is back for another! Nautical is certainly not just for Spring/Summer but you can play it up for Fall, as well. :)

1. BDG Nautical Pullover, $15, available at Urban Outfitters.
2. Lauren by Ralph Lauren Pants, Fisher with Sailor buttons, $100, available at Macy's.
3. Feel The Piece Casper top, $77, available at Singer22.

I happen to l-o-v-e Nautical just as much as the next fashionista! I purchased this sailor-esque romper a year ago. I love the feminine touch with the polka dots. The gold buttons have little anchors on them! Unfortunately it is no longer in stores. But as you're Fall shopping this year, don't be afraid to go Nautical on some pieces of clothing. It will be here for a while and possibly into Spring 2012!

 I hope everyone has a fabulous Labor Day! xo

Day with mum.

Yesterday was a fun-filled day with my mum. We went grocery shopping, clothes shopping, and then ended our day with some delicious Starbucks. It was quite cute because when we dropped the groceries off at home, my dad was re-arranging the family room. My mum and I decided we would go get the play station 3 game he's been wanting, Madden NFL 12. So, we went and picked him up a bag of his favorite snack, Kettle Corn and surprised him. He was definitely more than surprised! Here are some pictures from yesterday:

Then one of my brothers older friends works at Starbucks and made one of her specialty drinks. It tastes JUST like cake batter. I kid you not. I was in absolute heaven!

Grocery Shopping.

Most people dread grocery shopping, but I find it enthralling for some very odd reason. I have a love-hate relationship with food. And I can never justify sticking strictly to healthy/organic foods or throwing in some sweets here and there, or just picking out what looks good at the time. So, here is my finalized grocery list:

Cantaloupe

 Bananas

 Peaches

 Tortilla

 Lettuce

 Almond butter

 Deli Fresh turkey

 Newtons Fruit thins

 Cheerios

 Yoplait smoothie

 String Cheese

 Silk vanilla soy milk

 Smartwater

For breakfast I will have cheerios with vanilla soy milk and top it off with cut banana slices. Maybe add peaches or cantaloupe the next morning. Lunch, I am going to take the tortilla shell, lettuce, turkey, and almond butter and make wraps. The string cheese, yoplait smoothies, and newtons fruit thins are nice little snacks throughout the day. And then I eat dinner with my amazing family. Which usually consists of homemade chicken and noodle soup or an Italian dish of some sort. I will most likely burn all of this off with my strenuous work out. Maybe I'll share it with you in another post. :) Have a lovely day!

Smartwater.

People quite frequently say, "All water tastes the same." But that couldn't be further from the truth. Spring water comes from the ground and contains random stuff and whatever else the animals that swim in it leave behind. But Smartwater is vapor distilled. So, it is in it's purest state. The taste is so much better because electrolytes are added. It's certainly a different taste that I enjoy! Plus, it doesn't hurt that Jennifer Aniston endorses Smartwater.

What's your favorite health tip?


"I always try to sleep for at least eight hours a night and, of course, water, water, water! I drink 100 ounces of Smartwater every day," Jennifer Aniston says. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet coke- there's nothing like it!"

How do you stay refreshed all day?


"I start with a bottle of Smartwater in the morning, Aniston says. I carry one with me all day, and at night I drink a tall glass."

So, I think I am going to take Jen's advice and aim to drink 100 ounces of water a day. It'll make a significant difference to live a healthy lifestyle. And if you're out and about, try Smartwater and let me know if you like the taste or if you can actually taste a difference!
