My Foundation Routine
Healthy Lunch Idea
Open Faced Tuna Salad Sandwhich
Hey loves! Many of you have been asking me about what I'm eating on my quest to get bikini ready for spring break. Here is a healthy lunch idea that you might like to try.
I made a low-fat low-cal tuna salad by mixing tuna, a little bit of low fat mayo and seasoning with salt, pepper, seasoning salt, and garlic powder. Toast some whole grain bread and top with baby spinach and tomatoes, and voila!
If you'd like you could even pair it with some baby carrots and hummus for added protein. This meal is packed full of protein, vitamins, and nutrients you need to get through a work out. Bon Apetite!
What's Up With All the Celeb Divorces?

| Poor Kimmie K |
What's interesting is that statistics also say the more educated, wealthy, and older you are the greater chance that your marriage will survive. Really?
More recently I've been appalled by the dominoe divorce effect I've seen amongst well-known couples. What's causing these power couples to go splitsville?
My intuition and life experiences tell me that these very public marriages end up in divorce due to a number of stressors atypical to "regular" marriages. But why don't they think about these things before they walk down the aisle?
Jeezy and Andre 3000 crying "I Do I Do I Do" are getting the masses all hyped up about marriage. But do we take the time to think about what it really means? Kim Kardashian said of her divorce, "I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon". Amen sister. Many "commoners" are guilty of the same exact thing.

It all seems so romantic when you're shoving cake in each other's face, but what happens when the honeymoon is over? What happens when there's no money for bills and the rent is due? What happens when your partner is caught in a public rape case? (cough...Kobe)
Don't get me wrong. This is not meant to be a sarcastic satire on what God meant to be one of the most beautiful unions of a lifetime. I do however believe that more people need to make decisions on marriage based on their ability to withstand the pressures that come along with it.
So what makes a celeb marriage work? Not all have fallen off like a bad weave. Bey and J seem to be doing well and older couples like Will and Jada have stood the test of time despite a whirlwind of vicious rumors. While no marriage is perfect or bullet-proof, what I've realized is that those that last, especially in the public eye may be able to clue us in on what it takes to survive the world of marriage. What are your thoughts on marriage? Does the ever-increasing divorce rate in America discourage you from your happily ever after? Or do we as Americans need to change the way we think about marriage in order to guard against its imminent extinction?
Update!

Just when you thought purses were the only "Hot" items people were replicating these days, yet again u are disproved. People are now selling FAKE OPI brand nail polishes. I couldn't imagine at first how this would be done, but after doing my research realized that there are ALOT of replicas out there and people are finding more and more ways to pass them off as the real deal. So instead of getting jacked for your money and intelligence, check out this video on how to spot a fake.

Miss America 2012 Inspired Smokey Eye
Calling all my pageant girls!!! And those who wouldn't mind looking like one;) I watched this year's Miss America pageant and fell in LOVE with some of the fashion and makeup I saw. The smokey eye in particular was the most popular. More than likely Ms. America paid a professional makeup artist BIG smackaroos to create this look. But let's face it. For a night on the town with the girls or a dinner date with your cutie, that is not an option! For the most part I used inexpensive brushes and products to recreate my own Miss America 2012 inspired smokey eye. Here it is. Enjoy!My Top 5 MAC Lipsticks

Starting My New Year Off Right
It's that time of year...when every delusional human being in America decides to join the gym and "really get in shape" this year. Unfortunately I fall into the same miserable category. But at least I already had a gym membership right?
Anyhow today I started back in the gym after a month long hiatus. I did some low weight reps on every part of my body (arms, chest, abs, legs) and did 30 minutes of intervals on the treadmill. It felt good to be back in the gym and hopefully whipping my butt back into shape.
To take it a step even further I stocked my fridge full of fruits, veggies, and lean protein- and my cabinets with whole grains. I also took the $20 plunge to try "Ab Cuts" which is a dietary supplement promising to get me "ripped". My trouble area is my tummy, so I thought I would give it a whirl. Despite the bad reviews and the fact that it's a glorified omega 3 vitamin, we'll see what the results are! Excuse my cynicism, but I'm an MBA student and catchy marketing schemes rarely get me off. 
So my plan is to maintain a healthy lifestyle overall that includes eating healthy (not starving myself), working out regularly, and taking vitamins. What are you doing for your body in 2012?
Happy 2012!
I spent my New Years Eve in where else...New Orleans! I had a freaking blast. Right before midnight I went to the top of a building overlooking the city and watched the Fleur de Lis drop and the fireworks that followed. It was gorgeous! I also toasted to the New Year with a glass of champagne. Now time to go in on these New Years Resolutions;) HAPPY NEW YEAR MY LOVES!!!
