Appetite for Reduction

Lately I have been feeling a need for change. I would like to lose some extra pounds that I have tacked on over the years (maybe like 10-15) and just live a more healthful lifestyle in general. Its really not easy. Especially when you're like me who looooves cupcakes and sweets and all that is bad for you.

I am a huge fan of Bethenny Frankel...ya know, one of the Real Housewives from New York. I recently finished her book 'Naturally Thin' and couldn't get enough of her advice for looking at your eating habits in a whole different light. I loved it so much that I read her other book, 'Skinny Dish', which has the recipes in it. 

I'm super psyched because I just bought Isa Moskowitz's newest book, 'Appetite for Reduction'. Although I am not vegan, I am a big fan of her and her many cookbooks. This one intrigued me because all the recipes are between 200 and 400 calories. At first glance I found many recipes that looked delicious and things that I would actually make. Can't wait to get cooking!

 

They're here!

My custom business cards and buttons have arrived!!!

And just in time for my table at the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival! I am so thrilled with how they turned out; even better than I imagined. A big thank you to PixelbyPixel for helping make my vision come to life! Anyone looking for inexpensive custom business cards, buttons, stickers, etc...you need to check them out!!!

Craft Show!

                                                    

Pile of Craft is one of my favorite local craft shows that takes place right here in Baltimore. I noticed that applications to sell at the show just went up yesterday so I immediately applied! I have always wanted to sell amongst all the other talented, local crafters. Fingers crossed!!

New Tattoo!

I woke up to a couple inches of snow on the ground this morning but that didn't stop me from getting this done:

I am so in love with it and it looks way better than I could have ever imagined.

Boy Du Jour

Since Bust magazine does their feature, Boy Du Jour, and talks about the guys they are currently crushing on...here is my current crush. Fred Armisen is not only cute and funny but he has an amazing pair of glasses.

Enjoy.
