NEW Healthy Fav!!!


SKOTIDAKIS 
JALAPENO YOGURT DIP :) 

My sister introduced me to this wonderfully yummy healthy / 0 trans fat dip!!! 
It's made with Strained Greek Probiotic Yogurt!! It says it's 'Mild' but I do think it's a tad bit spicy! 
Now, I'm a bit of sissy when it comes to spicy food..hehe! So, if you're ok with Mild then you'll be fine with this stuff!! It's made with all natural ingredients which I love!! And I found it at Costco :) 

You can use it as a dip with Vegetables, Pita Bread or Pretzels!!

As a Salad Dressing...

As a garnish on a turkey/chicken/veggie burger, sandwich or wrap...

It's on 50 cals for 2 tbsp...2g Carbs & 0g Sugar!!

This Dip/Spread is amazzzzzzing!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

I hope you'll love it as much as I do!!!

CUPCAKES!!

I keep forgetting to blog about this...

I HAVE to share with you all one of my all time fav cupcake places! I consider myself quite the cupcake connoisseur..hehe!! I've tried A LOT of different cupcake bakeries all over 
LA, OC, Inland Empire,Vegas, NYC and the list goes on :)

One of my all time favs is Cupcakes Couture of Manhattan Beach!!
 I love the decor, I love that they actually have a lil sitting area where you can veg out and enjoy your cupcake OR you can take a lil stroll down to the beach that is literally right across the street :)

 Their cupcakes are delish! I'm a frosting girl...Butter cream ALLL the way! I'm known for just eating the frosting and not touching the cake part..hehe!! BUT their cupcakes are sooo good that I eat the cake part as well... I can't not, it's so moist and some have a filling..helllllo more frosting :)

 Ok, I'm going to shut up now, but if any of you are in the LA or South Bay area you
 HAVE to stop into Cupcakes Couture of Manhattan Beach and grab a few :)

SOOO EXCITED!!


Diet Soda made with Stevia
:)

OMG I just found out from a trainer friend of mine, it's finally here!!!
I'm sure a lot of you are like what in the world is the big deal? And boo you shouldn't drink Diet Soda at all!! Wellll, I do have a love for the occasional Diet Soda and I can't have caffeine anymore because it's a trigger for Vertigo as well as the artificial sweeteners in them are triggers for Vertigo : ( And well if you follow my blog you all know that I suffer from chronic vertigo and had to give up caffeine!! So, I've been using Stevia for a while now!! And it's now in a Diet Soda..YAY!!!

I can't wait to see this in my local stores!!




We are soda-loving people. But we never felt good about what we were drinking, until now. ZEVIA is the new version of our old favorites. What's different? We use stevia, a 100% natural, little miracle of nature. People have been sweetening foods and beverages with stevia for hundreds of years.
ZEVIA, pronounced zē-vē-ah, was the first and remains the best tasting 100% natural, zero calorie soda.
With only the purest ingredients, ZEVIA contains none of the chemically processed artificial sugar substitutes, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives found in other diet sodas. ZEVIA is 100% natural, has zero calories, zero net carbs, zero fat, and little or no sodium (depending on flavor).
All twelve delicious ZEVIA varieties – ColaGinger Root BeerDr. ZeviaTwistGinger AleBlack CherryOrange,GrapeCream SodaCaffeine Free ColaMountain ZeviaGrapefruit Citrus – are more delicious and better for you than any other diet soda. Click here to learn more about the history and science of stevia.
We were the first to do it with soda, and we are excited to share it with you.
We are making soda the way it should always have been.

Love it!!

I was at Forever 21 the other day and saw this necklace laying by the shoes! Someone, clearly just threw it there, it didn't look all that great in a heep, but I decided to try it on and I LOVED it! 
I love the fancy bling, but it has a thick chain that makes it versatile and can be worn casual as well :) 
It reminds me of a Dolce and Gabbana necklace I've seen, BUT this one was only $9.80!

My quick Vegas trip!!

Hey guys!!!

Sorry, it's taken me a lil while to post these pics!! I had a lot of you write and ask that I do a blog pic post on my quick Vegas trip! If you follow me you know I was just there with the BF for his work!! It was quick and not all that exciting..lol! Sorry, I didn't get a lot of pics, I'll do better next time :)

Here is my Vegas trip in pics :)



We headed to Vegas in the late afternoon/early evening.... gorgeous desert sunset!!

 The BF and I both have family in Vegas so we stayed at the BF's Aunt's the 1st night, this pic above was taken in her house!


That next morning we went to The Pancake House at Green Valley Ranch for breakfast! I had fresh Strawberries and Egg Whites :) 




Sooo much for the healthy breakfast because for lunch I decided to splurge and have a cupcake :) 



We headed to the strip and stayed at The Palazzo!


Checking in...


The Lobby








Pics of our room!






We took a walk around the Canal Shoppes at The Venetian!
After we took a walk it was right into work mode for the BF soo that's 
why there really aren't more pics..lol!!!


Before we hit the road we stopped at Coffee Bean & I got a Tall Decaf NF Iced Vanilla Latte and I added a lil Stevia(I carry pks in my purse..haha) 
I really wish Coffee Bean and Starbucks would get on the Stevia bandwagon..lol!!


Then we headed home :)
