Clean Eating

I picked up a magazine from the Beryl Wellness Bar called "Clean Eating". It looked like it would have some great recipes in it. I started reading it only to find out that it is a philosophy of eating. Basically it means that if you can't pronounce the ingredients, don't eat it. It is all about fresh and organic foods.

Tonight I made roasted beets. I have never eated beats except out of a can. I got fresh ones this time. I cut off the stems, cut them in chunks, drizzled with olive oil, sea salt and pepper and roasted them in the oven on 375 degrees. They were sweet and really good. Ashton is now a huge fan.

A few days ago I roasted about 6 chicken breasts and put them in the refrigerator. They come in handy on weeknights when I don't want to defrost meat and deal with all of that. We had a good meal of veggies and roasted chicken without any effort at all.

If your oven doesn't have a roasting feature, put it on 375, and cook on the bottom shelf. Yummy! The flavor is so good.

My bargain jacket for spring.

Here is my new Ebay jacket. Love it! Wear it with a t-shirt, jeans and high heel sandals or with a pencil skirt, white shirt and scarf. Too cool!

First Day

Hi Everyone,

I decided today that I wanted to blog something althought I am not sure what. Blogging just sounds fun so here goes. I have lots of ramdom thoughts from where I find the best shopping deals, shopping promotional codes, cooking ideas/recipes, fashion tidbits, how to deal with difficult people and how to score great things on Ebay!

Today I had the most interesting interaction with the customer service reps at Proactiv. I do not recommend buying from them at all. They said that they shipped me three shipments that I never gotl When I tried to talk to them, they basically called me a liar. Then they said that since I "don't pay my bills" (which I always do) they were going to turn me over to collections. How do people manage business in such an unethical way? I think the zit medicine has gone to their head. I am baffled.

I got such a great jacket today on Ebay. It was from Talbots for $10! It arrived and I was so excited. The seller's name is prairieraindrops. Seller of great stuff and super fast shipping. Those jackets are usually $125 in the stores. I am excited. It is a khaki and has a modern safari look. I can't wait to wear it with cargo or harem pants and high heel gladiator sandals.
