January 26th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
It’s absolutely freezing outside (not literally) but as far as San Francisco standards are concerned and this weather makes little room for wardrobe enjoyment. While perusing the latest styles for Spring 2012, I came across a rare gem; Tracy Reese Fall 2012 sneak peek. Wee hee! That means it is cold enough now to take advantage of the fashions for the Fall. Way to find a silver lining.
I am seriously obsessed with this collection and will need to find little black pumps and some gingham STAT!
Feel Beautiful on The Inside, Look Beautiful on The Outside

For many years I spent time grazing the streets of San Francisco looking for beauty. I would travel through each neighborhood and see silent stories unfold right before my eyes. What does this have to do with looking beautiful? Well when you observe the little things in life, the things that no one else notices, you are being mindful. Mindfulness leads to inner peace which leads to outer glow. There’s always somewhere to go, someone to see, something to do, but if you can just be peaceful for even fifteen minutes everyday, I guarantee you will feel more beautiful.
Back to the Bikini: How to Eat this Winter

Well hello bikini, aren’t you looking frightening today. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize I haven’t been posting many (if any) modeling photos lately and it’s for a very specific reason: I want to look my best when I see you all again. Last year I indulged my self in sweets, wine, sugars, bread you name it and I ate it. I don’t have an eating disorder or anything but after two straight years of modeling at a size two, I had to take a break. Now I’ve decided to lose weight and eat right for my health and to boost my immunity and take my bikini off the shelf come my Vegas trip in March.
Here are my tips Backed up by Womens Health.Gov
-Oatmeal may be the best thing you can eat for breakfast as it is high in fiber (try to skip the sugar) add an apple instead for a total of 7g of fiber in the morning.
-Eat a fruit or Vegetable with every Meal- The dietery fiber is technically a carb and it actually pulls the fat and other nasty stuff out of you. It’s true in 2005 I lost 20 LBS doing the whole grain diet miracle. It’s big on eating healthy carbs
-Nuts are friends in food. Curb your hunger by eating a Satsuma and a handful of walnuts in the afternoon- the citris will give you a little extra imunity boost and make you feel fresh.
-Artichokes are yummi and have 6.5 grams of fiber- add it to your salad
- Popcorn without butter is also a great form of fiber- try adding a dash of garlic salt on top! So good and satisfying!
I can attest these tricks to work because they worked on me in the past. I couldn’t give up my carbs because they make me feel full inside. I don’t like just eating protein and steamed veggies. It made me hate my life. Eating healthfully should be something you do as part of your daily life, not something that makes you miserable until you can’t take it anymore.

Like most nice things, they cost a lot. Sadly those of us in the the ditches of this very real recession have had to stoop to buying at Ross and dare I say, Target. Well, put away your calculator and head to Relquary this week for a post holiday winter wearable shopping spree.

There we were sitting at Maverick’s with a half bottle of Viognier and a craving for a cookie. Sometimes I pretend I live in the mission when really I don’t. I live a ten minute walk or so but whose really counting anyway? Truth is I need to take a cab home when it’s dark so there you go, I don’t live in the mission rather the slums of SOMA. On this particular night I learned that my new favorite wine varietal is not only made in France, but northern California to boot, Viognier. Speaking of too boot I find it to be a highly unused form of expression and I am bringing it back along with many other saying my grandparents used to say, including, but not limited to; Frigg’n, eff’n, marone. My sisters have heard me say these lately and they just laugh. Well back to the Viogneir at hand. It’s buttery and light and you know that ugly twinge of a pre-meditated head-ache you get when drinking cheap wine? That doesn’t happen. In fact the opposite; an insatiable desire for more, more, more! So With that I share with you my secret favorite wine called Calera Viogneier.
