Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI used to think that people who hired Sleep Consultants were lazy rich people, too precious to put their own children to bed. But then I had a boy who didn’t sleep through the night until he was 1 and a girl whose first birthday came and went without ever getting more than 4-5 hours of consecutive sleep. So combined, I’ve had over 2 years of never sleeping through the night myself...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love when magazines compile trend pieces showing images from the runway that most of us would never wear. It’s great to get the inspiration, but translating that into what is actually available in stores is another thing.
Here are 9 summer essentials you can’t go wrong with:
White Pants
(1) Banana Republic White Skinny Ankle Jean, $110
White pants are an obvious summer staple, but...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOne of the things I love most about owning ChickAdvisor is coming up with a fun concept (that I personally would enjoy doing) and making it happen for you guys! That’s where ShopCrawl came from, our movie nights and most recently our local cooking class with Canadian Cheese.
Here is our latest Big Idea: ShowCase! 300 women, 3 cities, 3 stunning hotels and a boatload of free products. ShowCase is...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt may seem a little late to post a spring shoe trends piece, but given the harsh, neverending winter we all just survived it didn’t seem right to talk about sexy new spring shoes while still wearing winter boots, parkas and for many of us - a fine, downy layer of leg fur as an extra measure of warmth.
As you retire to your bathroom for an evening of leg waxing with Nair’s Candy Apple Sugar Wax...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love me some chicken fingers. But, I haven’t eaten them in years because I avoid deep-fried food like the plague that it is. So I decided to come up with a healthier version that doesn’t harden your arteries. Because they aren’t deep fried, they won’t be as crispy and won't appear as brown, but they still satisfy the craving.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Panko Crumbs
1/2 Cup Shredded, unsweetened...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSix weeks ago I posted pictures of my pasty, slightly bloated post-baby body on ChickAdvisor here. The reaction was an interesting mix of “Go, Ali!” and “That’s rude. What’s wrong with a post baby body??” For the record, there is nothing wrong with a post baby body. But, there is also nothing wrong with wanting to get healthy and all kinds of...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas2014 is a huge year for me. I’m officially done having babies (my youngest, Lina is 6 months old) and I have some pretty substantial goals lined up for myself. One of those goals is to get really fit. And by fit I don’t mean skinny. I mean toned in a way that would make Gwyneth Paltrow - but not Madonna - proud. So, I thought what better motivation...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy sister gave me this recipe after I devoured several slices she had freshly baked. It is simply the most delicious, easiest chocolate cake recipe ever. Who knew flour was such an unnecessary ingredient? You can prep this with your eyes closed in about 5 minutes.
Ingredients:
4 oz (1/2 cup) Bittersweet Chocolate
1/2 C Butter
3/4 C Sugar
3 Eggs
1/2 C Cocoa Powder

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis could also be called Lazy Gingerbread Cookie Recipe because I took out all of the ingredients I deemed unnecessary (yes, even the ginger) to make these as simple as possible. Great for people with short attention spans or if toddlers are present.
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 C...
