Pop Chips



I just tried pop chips and there great ! There moto is love.without the handles, pretty cute huh ! I love chips but not all the fat that are in them. There not fried there popped
Read below:

All natural.
Nothing fake or phony.

Our all-natural pledge: no fake colors, no fake flavors, no preservatives, no fluorescent orange fingertips, and no wiping your greasy chip hand on your jeans. No, really. We only use ingredients you can feel good about eating. And we leave out the bad stuff, like hydrogenated oils and msg, that give snacking a bad name. Because popchips™ brand chips have no preservatives, make sure to get a good chip clip after opening the bag to keep our popped chips fresh. Or better yet, just eat them all at once.


They come in many great flavors Original, Barbeque, Sour cream and onion, Cheddar, Sea Salt and Vinegar, Salt and Pepper and Parmesan Garlic.

Pick some up the next time your at the store, you'll be glad you did !

luluemon athletica


lululemon athletica has some of the greatest athletic wear I've in a long time. I'm a Nike lover at heart but I really really like luluemons style. "They make technical clothing for yoga, dancing running and most other sweaty pursuits".

Here are a few of my luluemon favorites

Define Jacket $99.00



Relaxed Fit Crop II $86.00




Remix Lulu Hoodie $118.00

Love these Shoes!

I recently had to go shopping for a pair of cross-trainers, since my current running shoes were not cutting it during my boot camp class that I take. I was having so many aching muscles in my feet that my doctor recommended I get a good cross-trainer for stability during all those squat jumps! (among other torturous things!)
I shopped and shopped, finding only horrific grandma-type shoes that were big, bulky, and completely ugly. They felt stiff and wooden on my poor feet, and I thought I was doomed to go to class looking like a nurse. (See what I mean?)

Until I found these.....

They are sporty, lightweight, and oh-so comfortable. I feel like a princess in them! They are actually a volleyball shoe, and come in lots of different colors. They are the Mizuno Wave Lightning. It is AMAZING the difference in the way my feet feel! I would highly recommend them...click here to check them out!

Workout Wear!



Summer is the time to get out and go for a run or walk while the weather is nice. And why not look cute doing it ! Skirt Sports are super cute !
I've read rave reviews about them and I might have to get one myself.
Check out what people had to say about them:

Overall: Rated:5 stars! Comfort: Rated:5 stars! Style: Rated:5 stars!

I agree with the previous reviewer - this is the very first skirt I found that the shorts don?t ride up even a little - they stay put even on long runs! Plus, it is cute.

Great Running Skirt - I love this skirt! It's super cute on, and it's the most functional one I own. I've purchased 4 other brands before this one and all of them have had some sort of issue - mostly the shorts riding up when I run. I ran two half marathons in this skirt and the shorts were in the same place when I crossed the finish line. I love the MP3 pocket and I keep gels in there too. It's one of the most expensive out there, but it's totally worth it if you're like me and you don't like your legs rubbing together when you run.

H2O

Drink it your body needs it especially as the weather gets hot ! Its also really good for you. Your body can't function without it. Here are some fun facts about water !

  • As oceans are very wide and there are multiple to be found on earth, oceans store most of the earth's water. This is apparently 97% of the total amount of water on earth, 2% of which is frozen.
  • 80% of the earth's water is surface water. The other 20% is either ground water or atmospheric water vapor.
  • If all the world's water were fit into a gallon jug, the fresh water available for us to use would equal only about one tablespoon.
  • Over 90% of the world's supply of fresh water is located in Antarctica.
  • Less than 1% of the water supply on earth can be used as drinking water.
  • Most of the earth's surface consists of water; there is much more water than there is land.
  • Water can not only be found on the surface, but also in the ground and in the air.
  • Approximately 66% of the human body consists of water. Water exists within all our organs and it is transported throughout our body to assist physical functions.
  • Human brains are 75% water.
  • Human bones are 25% water.
  • Human blood is 83% water.
  • 75% of a chicken is water.
  • 70% of an elephant is water.
  • Each day the sun evaporates a trillion tons of water.

Nutrition Bars

I've tried alot of Health/Nutrition bars over the years. There are a lot of great ones out there, and always seems to be new ones coming out ! Sarah got me hooked on Luna Lemon Zest bars and to this day there still one of my FAVES ! Thanks Sarah :)
Another great one I recently just tried are the Crunchy Go Lean bars by Kashi. I got a box with Chocolate Peanut, Chocolate Carmel and Chocolate Almond. I love every flavor there all great ! They have 8 to 9 grams of protein and 5 to 6 grams of Fiber ! That's great !

Another great Nutrition bar is NuGo. They are high in protein and low in fat ! I've tried 3 of there flavors, Chocolate, Vanilla Yogurt and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Again I like all three flavors.
