An Avocado A day keeps the doctor Away

I don't cook, I try to cook, I learn and I do cook sometimes  when I feel a bit adventurous.  However with a new baby every task that seemed second nature to any individual now it is a small production.  With lots of patience and a lot of ingenuity to keep my baby entertained I had to figure out fast ways to FEED myself and my BEBE.  Avocados seem to satisfy my hunger and my baby's curiosity with anything and everything soft and green.  My daily routine consists of eating an early pre-lunch meal at around 10-11 am of avocado, turkey breast, some cheese and a second espresso.  As I prepare my quick meal my baby watches her MAMA do the GREEN DANCE.  Then she gets to taste the NUT.  So far she loves it and I haven't even started her on GUACAMOLE.  I cannot wait to see her face when she TASTES the SALT.
All I can say is that the AVOCADO SAVES MY DAY and MY HEALTH.  It is full of antioxidants and it tastes like heaven,...right up there after chocolate and cheese.

2 is the MAGIC NUMBER

Trying to maintain a healthy HAPPY DIET is not always easy.  Life and circumstances get in the way.  So looking at what I eat, I decided to make my life easier and think of everything as 2 or multiples of two.
So here is the basic breakdown:
1) 2 glasses of water before every meal
2) 2-4 servings of fruits and vegetable/day
3) 2 oz of dark chocolate (See my post: Chocolate your World)
4) 2-4 cups of coffee,...depending on how much or how little sleep I get with my baby
5) 2 servings of protein : 1 for lunch, and 1 for dinner
6) 2 servings of fiber: wheat bread for breakfast/and or lunch
7) 2 glasses of red wine/week (whichever day of the week the need arises)
8) 2 servings of INDULGENCE/WEEK (be it a slice of pizza, a can of soda, a chocolate chip cookie, or french fries)

Drugstore Gems

Nothing can pick my mood up than wondering through the make-up drugstore aisle.  It is the best way to asses quality, price and the beauty trends, and it does not cost you a penny.  You don't always have to buy.  However once in a while it is worth spending a few bucks and finding the satisfaction that you found a GEM.  Here are my recent finds:
1) Maybeline Dream Bouncy Blush: 
It looks like a powder blush but it blends like a cream once on your skin. I love this because it blends so well and even and it really looks natural.  I am starting to prefer cream blushes because they look more natural.
2) L'Oreal: Colour Riche Balm:
This product is so rich and tasty that you will instantly fall in love with. It is a BALM with a tiny tint of color. It lasts and it makes your lips look delicious.  It reminds me of the Elizabeth Arden 8 hr lip balm, but this one is only $7.50 or around that.
3) The Botanics: The Power of Plants Eye Colour (Only at Target)
Very smooth and translucent eye colours with beautiful earthy tones.  And if you are a bit bold they have also some shades of light purple which I think look divine on any eye color or skin tone.
