{designing a healthy, balanced & beautiful life}
It’s not often that you’ll find me in a chain restaurant. Mostly because… they usually disgust me {I’ve had a server to smell my drink, people! Ugh!} Also, I just love supporting locally owned eateries and Charlotte has tons of them. On the flip side, there are a few chains that are just plain yum.… read more »
My eating habits are… weird. Well, not so much weird as just all over the place. For example, I remember back around college I used to LOVE chicken. I mean, I had some sort of chicken practically every night for dinner. Now? Chicken absolutely disgusts me. Everything about it… taste, texture, smell, look… you name… read more »
Typing this, I’m sitting in what used to be my living room… but now looks more like a storage building. Seriously, I think there are at least 50 boxes in this room alone. It’s moving week. Actually, it’s sort of the last day of packing week, as I have to have EVERYTHING packed and ready… read more »
You know how men refuse to ask directions when driving? Well, I have this same problem with cooking. If you’ve read my blog in the past, you’ll know that Designer Husband is the chef in the family. Growing up, I was youngest of the family and *everyone* always cooked for *me*. Not spoiled… loved. OK,… read more »
Well, hello there, Monday. I have good news… Taylor Swift’s new CD is out TODAY! AND it’s….. wait for it…. waaaaiiiiittt… IT’S FAN.EFFING.TASTIC! Listening to it as I blog and to be honest with you, it’ll probably take me 3 hours to type this because I keep stopping to sing along in my hairbrush (remember… read more »

I have been a picture taking FOOL lately! I’m not even joking, I have SO many photos from fun things to share, but I’ll take it day by day so as to not overwhelm you. Or me. Or Flickr. Remember last week when I blogged about our 2 year anniversary & invited you to our… read more »
This morning, the wonderful Designer Hubs and I headed out semi-early to get in to some trouble and enjoy a long day together. After checking a couple of things off of our list, we ended up at Terrace Cafe for brunch. We had been meaning to stop by this place for months and never have,… read more »
It probably is. Because if you’re like many people, you don’t eat often enough. You should eat at least five times a day, that includes three meals and two snacks. So why eat so often? It helps prevent your body from storing fat. I kid you not. Our bodies are actually programmed to store fat,… read more »
Kant said that we require three things by which to measure happiness: someone to love, something we like to do, and something to look forward to. Did you know that I almost majored in Philosophy? That was after I switched from biomedical sciences and before I decided to persue print & online media. My… read more »
