I know my past food-related posts haven’t portrayed me in the healthiest light. Yes, I’m a sucker for mac n’ cheese, sweet treats, and desserts, but I also have another obsession: juicing. As soon as my friend Sarah turned me on to juicing, I immediately ordered my juicer and a recipe book and have been in love with ever since.
Raw, fresh juice is wonderfully rejuvenating and great for your energy, skin, digestion, and immune system. It’s a quick and delicious way to take in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other phytonutrients. And the pleasure of making it yourself is definitely an added satisfaction.
My favorite juice is currently the Cucumber Refresher. The combination of pears and cucumber creates a subtle, yet refreshing flavor, while the ginger root (just an inch or less) provides an energy and immune boosting zing.
Cheers and happy weekend!

Another go-to outfit of mine involves slouchy, off-the-shoulder tops paired with cotton shorts. On busy days where getting dressed is the least of my worries (this happens a lot when you wake up 15 minutes before class), I can count on these staples to carry me through the day.
But when I do have time to look at myself in the mirror before I head out the door, I clean up the look with a bold statement necklace and a pair of jeweled sandals. I love the turquoise tear-drop beads on this necklace because it commands attention regardless of whatever else I may be wearing.
Now, if I only could start waking up when my alarm clock tells me to.

I’ve been spending an inhumane amount of time at my desk hunching over textbooks and clutching highlighters, so I thought it would be refreshing to peruse a few of my favorite online stores for some kitschy desk decor. After all, there’s nothing like some online window shopping to procrastinate my studies.
My favorite find: the Facebook stamps! While FB doesn’t actually have a “Dislike” button, I would love to use that stamp all over my school books and notes right about now.
