If part of your New Years' resolution was to eat healthier, then you can appreciate just how hard it is to keep this up. Staying away from temptation is one of the hardest things I've personally had to do. I mean, just going by that McDs and the smells wafting past me........ excuse me while I wipe away the drool. 

Luckily, there's Fresh Canteen. Fresh Canteen sends you fresh, healthy...

When I was in high school, I earned my spending money by working part time at a lingerie store. There, I was introduced to the wonderful world of Spanx. Those tummy and butt wonders that magically sucked it all in and where it was sucked to - who knew? But also, who cared? 'Cause girl, you looked gooooddd

Well according to this article, all the extra bits that were...

Since the deep winter freeze has hit us, I've been spending most of my time binge-watching Netflix. I've also been dying to try some great home décor DIY's. If I'm going to spending all my time indoors, it better be pretty. I've fallen off the DIY bandwagon lately and I've been itching to get back on. My only issue? Time. I want my DIY's to be quick so that I can still spend a hour or...

It's the beginning of a new week, so obviously, you need to treat yourself to a little somethin' somethin'. If you need another reason, it's also Treat yourself Tuesday, so feel free to use that excuse. 

The bottom line is, sometimes you just need a pick me up and it doesn't have to be something that will break the bank. In fact, there are some KILLER new drugstore beauty products out that...

After dating for a while, the next logical step is to consider moving in together. At least that's where I am at with the current dude in my life. When the subject was first brought up, I was excited. I mean, my boyfriend is a pretty ok guy (I like him enough, I guess) and this felt like a real grown up step for the lady who once stated that her relationships almost never lasted longer than a bag...

The other night, Jared Leto took home a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and as he graced us with his presence on screen, I couldn't help but think: OMG HE LOOKS GOOD. Guess how old Jared is? Do it now in your head - and don't wikipedia him!

Are you a #selfie taker? Fellow CA staff member Miranda is a selfie addict. I just caught her taking one as we got into the elevator on our way to lunch, just sayin'. I myself, am not a huge fan of selfies. They make me self conscious and usually I end up the one behind the lens instead. Of course, we're all our own worst critic. How many times have you snapped a selfie, checked it out and...

IMO, award shows are usually a total snorefest. I'm not the only who feels this way either. Gwyneth P and hubby Chris Martin agree apparently. I have to say though, this year I kind of enjoyed myself. Tina and Amy were HIGH-larious as per usual, Emma Thompson's martini induced speech was amazing and this may have been one of the best year's fashion-wise. With the exception of JLaw and Dior's very...

Four power house women graced the cover of Elle for their Women in TV issue. Mindy Kaling (i.e. my soulmate and spirit animal), Allison Williams (of my fave TV show, Girls), Amy Poehler (SO funny) and Zooey Deschanel (a.k.a. my pretend BFF). Each of the covers was so fierce and attention demanding that it seemed only necessary to write about it so I could day dream about the awesome shopping trips...
