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...

2014 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...
I feel the need to tell you first hand, that I have weird feelings when it comes to Cameron Diaz. By that I mean, I think I kind of dislike her. When it comes to my feelings, she's on the same level as Gwyneth Paltrow. And DON'T get me started on her. So when I read that she had written a book focused on health called The Body Book, I was like: Ugh. Why? What does Cameron know about health?
Those who know me know that my nickname is 'Human Napkin' because I am ALWAYS covered in stains. Hey, I like to eat and I'm clumsy, and that has it's price. I'm a big fan of the bronzer during winter as well which means that my shirts ALWAYS have a ring of makeup around the collar. Yeah, I know, I'm a mess.
Luckily, there are some excellent hacks out there for those of us who have some...
Who else woke up with a splitting headache on January 1st? Fess up and raise your hand. We've all been there. January 1st was mostly spent in bed for me, with a brief break when I crawled into the kitchen to scavenge for food and then back to bed. Think bear in hibernation mode.
Next year though, I'll be prepared. Here are a few hangover cure tips and tricks that the chick staffers swear by....
Every new year, I make these grand, lofty goals and I promise myself that though I failed last year, THIS year will be totally different. It's 2014: Year of Alex. I'm going to exercise my body and brain, be productive and start volunteering. Maybe I'll even learn a new language. Of course, this lasts about 5 minutes and then I'm back to where I was: on the couch, binge watching Netflix and my...
Oh, we know. Jeans feeling a bit snug? The sugar lethargy is settling in. The thought of another piece of fruit cake makes you cringe. It's time, Chicks. Our friend Talia Chai, Holistic Nutritionist and Natural Foods Chef, is back to share some post-holiday detox advice. We had a bit too much holiday cheer last night and woke up with a gnarly hangover. What should we do?
