Lights, Camera,...

Bridesmaids!  I'm looking forward to watching Bridesmaids, which hits theatres May 13th.  The cast of the wedding party includes some of the funniest women on TV, and I'm a huge Judd Apatow fan!  Apatow is the producer of Knocked Up, Superbad, and 40-Year Old Virgin.  And how fitting that the movie is coming out during wedding season!

Whether you're a bride, a bridesmaid, or a wedding guest, when it is showtime, I think we can all benefit from Urban Decay's Urban Bride.

Baked Kale Chips

For this week's Potpourri Wednesday, I decided to share a recipe I recently tried - Baked Kale Chips.  You might be wondering, how can kale chips be good?  Oh they are.  Gwyneth Paltrow was on the The Ellen Show sometime last week, and she made some on the show to promote her new cookbook My Father's Daughter.  She kept saying that her kids love them.  I remember when I was a kid, the last thing I wanted to eat was vegetables.  So if her kids enjoy eating them, I think at 27 years old, I can too!

Here's the recipe!  It's so easy!  Did I mention that they're healthy? :)

Motivational Wardrobe

I'm bringing back Potpourri Wednesday, where I share something that's not directly related to beauty, but still pertinent to one's overall wellness.  I always say (and I'm sure some famous person said it before me), that you should always enjoy the little things in life that make you smile.  Personal wellness always begins with YOU!

I first saw Fresh Sugar Lip products on the Doctors show on CBS.  Before trying Fresh's products, I was using Mary Kay's Satin Lips Treatment.  Both have the same concept: one for exfoliating your lips and the second product for the lip balm treatment.
