YOUR CHOICE

Are you happy? Be it. Easy enough. You have a choice in life. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to not be happy. Pretty simple.

Change your way of thinking. Change your surroundings, choose to keep the people in your life that make you happy and inspire you. Choose what makes you happy and do it. I did :)

“If you don’t like something, change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” – Mary Engelbright

HUMP DAY BROWNIES

Here is a Quick & Gluten Free recipe for brownies 

BLACK BEAN BROWNIE

1 1/2 cups Organic black beans (drained and rinsed very well)  

2 tbsp dark cocoa powder

2 Scoops of Chocolate Protein

1/2 cup quick oats or Almond Flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup pure Agave or Honey

2 stevia packs

1/2 Cup of unsweetened applesauce

Dash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup to 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and blend until completely smooth. Put your back into it and mix well. Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan.

Bake for about 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. Yields about 10-12 brownies.

Healthy Topping: Spread Almond Butter on each warm piece OR add honey and PB2 to some greek yogurt as treat :)

Enjoy!

BLACK & WHITE

Black & White - so many things in life I love that are Black & White. For instance, the cookie. The Black & White cookie is one of my favorites! Kidding. Well, I'm not really. I mean those cookies... woah, those cookies!

But for this moment, today, Im loving Black & White pictures in homes. Here are some great ways to display Black & White Photos in your home - They warm up any room in your house and stir up conversation. 

Hope these images inspire you to add some to color to yours!

SHOESDAY!

For most NYC women, nothing can lift a spirit higher than a new pair of Sexy High Heels! I personally favor a nude heel, the way it makes the leg appear longer & in turn makes you look leaner! Nude heels are great for the office and can take you straight into Happy Hour.

Please remember the following when wearing heels:

1.       Cushion is key! Invest in a cushion insert for the ball of your foot.

2.      Pack flats! Comfortable ballet slippers in your bag, especially if you have to go from uptown to downtown in a flash.

3.       Stability Baby! Wear a heel with a platform for extra balance.

4.       Avoid subway grates! They will ruin your heel and cut the material up terribly!

5.     Roll out! Take them off when you can - I keep a tennis ball under my desk at work and while I work I roll my foot back and forth on the ball. J Ahhh, feels so good~

6.       Pedicure, lotion up and make sure they are presentable. Nothing worse than unkept feet. Pamper yourself and get a pedicure, please especially if you wear open toes and the rest of the public has to see!

Here are a few of my top favorite nude heels that are appropriate for the corporate working woman.....
