How High Can I Go?

Now that I've bought for my loved ones on the "Nice" list, it's time to add myself to that list and pick out something extra special for me, like the Miz Mooz Bloom boot!

During my shopping/browsing this season I was noticing many women with their long boots.  I'm not sure how this look will go over on me because I've got thighs, and I mean thighs.  (Not that I could knock down a small child with them, but I'm sure I could jostle them a bit).  I think tucking jeans into my long boots will make my thighs look bigger.  But hey, I'll never know until I try it out!

I've been looking at boots from Infinityshoes.com.  The style "Miz Mooz Bloom" has caught my eye.  I'm 5'10" and don't walk that well in heels, so the little lift of 1.5" and a wedge heel seems fine. The Miz Mooz Siri is the same look only with a 3.5" wedge heel.  I know my center of gravity and this height would have me toppling over, for sure!  I admire women who can walk so gracefully in heels.  When I see Carrie Bradshaw running down a New York City street in her shiny shoes I get so envious.

My friend spotted the Miz Mooz Felicity which she could carry off with out a problem.  Alas, it is a 3" inch heel, and I believe we have established that I would, in fact, tip over.  But for it's clearance price I might give it a try ;->

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
