Tip of the Week!
Are you on "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob"?
This certainly seems to be the year of the vampire! More and more books and movies are being produced about these creatures of the night! And the latest is The Twilight Series - Eclipse!
Whenever a book or movie gains huge popularity, invariably a whole line of merchandise comes out, the most popular being t-shirts. You can't help but notice the trend with the Twilight t-shirts, they are VERY popular right now.
And MXM didn't want the plus-sized world to feel left out, so they've designed their own line of "The Twilight Saga - Eclipse" t-shirts in sizes 14+! No more feeling left out just because you wear a size bigger than a 2!
This new Twilight line goes on sale as of June 10! And in the meantime, MXM is running a great contest where you could win a "Red Carpet Experience" for the movie's opening on June 18! (prize value $500)Click on the H&M ad above to be taken to the site to enter the contest and check out all the great plus-sized options! You can look great this summer!
Holiday Foods
Today I am going out for my first Christmas lunch of the season. I think the best thing about this time of year is reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in a while. There’s something about Christmas that brings people together, and usually these get-togethers involve food. Now I don’t know about you, but I love traditional Christmas foods…even the fruitcake!
One of the great things about changing how I thought about food is that I now get so much more enjoyment out of what I eat. The “old me” used to fret and worry over every calorie that went in my mouth, which completely distracted me from the enjoyment, and actually caused me to eat more. Now, I enjoy every mouthful, completely guilt-free. And because I am paying more attention to what I am eating, I am actually getting more out of the foods I eat, meaning I eat less food. No more internal conflict over “should I or shouldn’t I eat this?” No more internal conflict with “Am I a bad person because I want this cookie?” Just good old-fashioned, plain enjoyment of the food. My new thoughts are that if I am going to eat something, dammit I am going to enjoy it! I no longer let guilt steal the taste and pleasure, and instead I now eat mindfully, enjoying not only the tastes but the textures too! And I have to tell you, this is a much better way to live.
