Lead Me Not Into Temptation
The 50 Million Pound Challenge continues, and I’ve been pretty proud of myself so far. Thanks to your delicious recipe recommendations, I made some yummy and nutritious soups to tide me over the wisdom teeth blues. Thank you, bellas!

What I Wish I Knew (Before I Went Natural)
I saw this brilliant feature over at YMIB, and LOVED it.

Unintended Diet, Resulting Revelations
My 50 Million Pound Weight Loss challenge continues, and I’ve made some progress since my first post. A lot more than I expected to, actually. I lost five pounds since last Friday. But not in a way that I’d recommend to ANYONE. Last Friday morning, I came to the end of a long dental journey….
Valentine’s Day, The No-Buy-Month Way
So far I’ve been a very good bella with my no-buy-month pledge. The one big expense I was concerned about for the month of February? Valentine’s Day! It’s traditionally been a time of bounty for beauty product junkies like myself. And I know V-Day is a commercially-created creation, but I’m in love with love. I’ll…
