Lately, I've become very aware of the bags & dark circles forming under my eyes. I've been slapping on concealer everyday and have tried the good old cucumber on the eye remedy, but...they're still very apparent. I came across the e.l.f eye refresher at my local Kmart...

A couple weeks ago, I attended a bridal show with my younger sister and mom. Among the many vendors was Plexus. One of their reps let me try a sample of their "Slim" drink. The taste wasn't too bad, but my first comment to my mom was that it reminded me of the flouride...

Wasn't sure what to make my first blog post about, so I figured I would just jump right in! As someone who works a full time job & is a part time student, all I want to do come Saturday morning is SLEEP THE EFF IN! However, I've set up a workout schedule for myself thi...
