Hailey's HAVE TO HAVE

If I could, I would live in jeans, a hooded sweatshirt and Converse all day, everyday. I'm all about basics. Flattering basics that is. And basics that can be mixed and matched. Worn alone or layered with multiple outfits. An essential everyday staple for me is a simple camisole. I'll admit - I'm a cami snob. I'm very particular when it comes to how they fit. I do not like built in bras. I do not want to fidget with adjustable straps. It needs to keep its shape and not fade after multiple washes. Silky - no thanks. Stretchy - yes please. And lightweight and seamless is a must.

Although I have several items in my closet that I love for different reasons, my #1 wardrobe have to have is the Nordstrom BP stretch cami. Every woman should own this cami. Definitely in black and white if nothing else. In addition to having the characteristics above that are so important to me, the BP cami has the perfect blend of cotton and spandex and will hug your body nicely - never bunching up. The thin non-adjustable spaghetti straps make it an easy layering piece and guess what? It retails for only $12 in the Brass Plum section at Nordies. It comes in 19 different colors in sizes X-Small thru X-Large. My personal must have color as of late is "Cloudy" - the dark grey. Isn't that color fantastic?

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

CHICKEN NUGGETS anyone??

If this doesn't stop you from going through the drive thru - then we have quite a bit of work to do! "Mechanically Separated Chicken" is the actual name for this pink paste that looks nothing like chicken. Eventually this pink paste will be shaped into little boots, fried and placed in Happy Meals around the world!

Fancy Friday

Wondering what tickled my fancy (aka; something I enjoyed, adored or was satisfied by) this week? Hands down the Chicken Taco Chili I made in the crock pot. Similar to last week's " Meal in a Can " recipe but with a little more kick and ingredients. This is so freakin' easy. Beyond delicious on a chilly evening. High in protein and fiber and of course low in fat. Would I make it if it was any other way?!? Nada. And if you're a Weight Watchers guru, it's low in points too! Bonus. Having a Super Bowl gathering at your house? Whip up a big batch of this with some corn bread and you've got yourself a crowd pleaser. Great for the kids too! ~Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili~ Recipe courtesy of skinnytaste.com Ingredients: 1 onion, chopped 1 16-oz can black beans 1 16-oz can kidney beans 1 8-oz can tomato sauce 10 oz package frozen corn kernels or 1 16 oz. can of corn 2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies (mild or spicy depending on your tolerance) 3-4 boneless ski...
