raccoon

via Love From Sweden

My husband's nickname for me is "Kelley Raccoon." My sunglasses tend to leave their mark while out in the sun...

I think this sweet little raccoon is a reminder to me to wear a higher strength sunblock on my face. (Or a bigger hat!)

Enjoying the lovely weather here.
Hoping you are too.
Don't forget the sunscreen everyone!
-Love,
Kelley Raccoon

One of my many new year's resolutions is to eat better. More whole foods and less salt, preservatives, etc...

Well, I bought us a juicer!

Loving it so far!!!

Anyone have any favorite recipes?

Here's to a Happy and Healthy New Year all!!!!

Ever been to this bakery in NYC?
Baby Cakes.
"Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Agave-Sweetened, Kosher Bakery on the Lower East Side of NYC "



"In a city dominated by cupcakes overflowing with sugar, flour and butter cream, it’s easy for those with persnickety diets to feel left out. BabyCakes offers all-natural, organic and delicious alternatives free from the common allergens: wheat, gluten, dairy, casein and eggs. Rest assured, all sweeteners have been chosen responsibly and used sparingly. White sugar will never be found in our bakery, nor will we ever use toxic chemical sweeteners. Instead, most products are sweetened with agave nectar—a natural syrup from a cactus which is low on the glycemia index and often a safe alternative to most non-insulin dependant diabetics. Occasionally, unprocessed and unrefined sugar is used in certain goods, although sparingly.

and the owner just wrote a book...

Check out her blog and the cool engagement story that took place there.
(See photo below of the ring hidden in the red velvet cupcake!)




How did YOU get engaged????

Athleta Ladies!

OK, I'm not the most avid fitness buff..., but I get this great catalog called Athleta. Their photos are phenomenal. (Their website is nice too, but doesn't show all the cool pics.)

I look at these ladies and imagine myself toned, tanned and at the beach!!!




I took Volleyball in High School thinking it would be easy... Boy was I wrong! I should have practiced at the beach!











My daily dose of inspiration. Summer is coming soon ladies. Oh, my.
