5.1.13. sugar day.

So... due to my boredom and amount of free time i have when i'm traveling and sitting in an airport i tend to google things and therefore i started reading different blogs on sugar... i found one in particular that i loved about a woman who had gone without refined sugar for 4 years (myyearwithout.blogspot.com). She posted the video below from a 60 minutes segment on sugar. I highly suggest you watch even a minute of it and listen to the reaction from the Sugar Association (embarrassing)

some facts:

Americans on average consume 1/3 of a pound of sugar a day.  However, if i said that Americans on average consume 1/3 of a pound of fat a day you would've puked. Sad, because ya know, its pretty much the same darn thing. In the words of Alisha Meek, my make up artist last week, 'white bread is recognized by the body as sugar which turns into fat which just gives you a fat a$$'; she is so wise.

So as of today, for one year, i'm saying goodbye to refined sugars and saying hello to...

Milwaukee... cookies, baseball, shopping horray

After SF i went back to LA for the morning just to cry to R about how i did not want to get on another plane, take some polas (joy), and see one of my favorite bookers ever (shh)! 2 hours later i was on the plane and 6 hours later i was in Milwaukee and off to Emily's to collect the raisins, bagels, and cream cheese she so thoughtfully got for me.

The next day i purchased just ONE pillow from pottery barn; it serves no purpose other than looks so one is enough.

I adore the view from our condo this year. 

I also got some lovely Alice & Olivia Shoes and 2 Fossil Purses which Liz is impartial too since she prefers designer but they will suffice. Then, i made myself proud and found... scroll below.

That's. Me. Cool

(make.yourself.proud)

 I've started juicing again; R (the doll) helps me sometimes. Has anyone heard of the "DASH" brand? I went with it given that it was cheap and looked cool (great qualities for anything) but I really hope this isn't a 'get what you pay for', situation.

Sunday was R's MVP ceremony in Milwaukee soooo they had a quick little video put together before the game and I made Cowboy Cookies with with whole wheat flour and agave... luckily they were so yummy and i didn't have angry baseball playing husbands telling me i made their wives and daughters sick.

 Then we went to dinner at capital grill and tried to set up a 'space ship' -that heals you. mmhmm that's what i said.

San Fran-TART

This week was consisted of a LOT of traveling... which i have come to despise. Luckily, Tart employs some of my favorite people and i traveled to San Francisco to shoot their Holiday Collection. For the second day we shot in a beautiful Clubhouse from the 1800's and i met the cutest little girl i've ever been around... 

 

She claims she learned this from a target commercial... Great job target! If you haven't had enough; here's another.

 

So... besides hanging out with cute little girls we shot beautifullllll stuff... TART has AMAZING clothes... here's a sneak peak from the shoot. 

I lovedddd my make up artist, Alisha Meek... we went to dinner and we each devoured this large bento box full of goodies.
