Fun times @LotusLeafStyle #PressDays
I got a chance to go snoop around the Lotus Leaf Communications offices recently, and had way more fun than I expected… I mean I knew I was going to enjoy it, but I didn’t think I was going to have so much fun! I got some hands on experience with some of their brands, and was pretty gutted to be leaving without taking everything with me 🙁 I did get a good swag bag and a pretty Cocoa Jewelry bracelet, so that helped soothe my sorrows 🙂
I was IN LOVE with this Diesel watch, and I don’t even wear watches, but this one right here!? ANYTIME.
Love at first sight.
There was entire wall FULL of Dr. Martens… my poor heart, it was torture.
Loved this!- Cocoa Jewelry

So I was a little trigger happy while I was there, but there was just too much goodness for me to not take pics so that I could share them with you. Stay tuned for part 2 of my adventures at Lotus Leaf!

Get Summer Body Ready with @LizVacc
Summer is on it’s way, so it’s time to get the body looking RIGHT! I’ve been in the gym everyday, and I’m doing my absolute best to eat healthy, but that damn carrot cake… anyway, thanks to Liz Vaccariello’s new book, The Digest Diet; I’ve found two smoothies that will not only satisfy my sweet tooth (fingers crossed), but they are also packed with FAT RELEASERS! I usually make my smoothies with strawberries, blueberries and vanilla soy milk, but I’m totally going to step it up and try these ones.

TASTY TIPS
· In the grape version, you can first wash and dry individual grapes, then freeze them and add them to the blender frozen.
· The tangerine/ orange version tastes like a creamsicle, but you have to cut the segments out from between the membranes or you get big pieces of skin in the shake!Enjoy!
