Is anyone else a die-hard Sex And The City fan. That plus Friends (Modern Family is making its way up there) are shows that I can watch repeatedly yet enjoy them as much as the first time round. Anyone remember that SATC episode where the girls are discussing their guilty pleasures? When Carrie moves in …
1) Lindt Sea Salt: I’m tempted to say that sea salt and chocolate pair almost as well as chocolate and peanut butter…almost. Put your skepticism aside and trust me on this. It’s so delicious that I may sprinkle regular salt on all my chocolate 😉 2) Basil: I’ve recently gone basil crazy and have been adding …
For the last week or so, I’ve been feeling really ick and bloated. I don’t weigh myself so the only indicator I have is the mirror. Maybe it’s psychological, maybe it’s not. But if it is a case of the latter, something’s got to change. Easier said than done, it’s so important not to fall …
Favourite meal of the day? Without a question, breakfast wins every time. If anything, it’s an excuse to eat sweet carbs guilt-free ;)!

I’m slowly setting some not-so-new years’ resolutions. My latest is to be more flexible/spontaneous. In general, I tend to be a creature of habit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all open to change but being in a set routine gives me peace (piece?) of mind. While it can be a great quality in terms of …
Magazines- gotta love ‘em…I know I do. Dorky or not, I get excited when a new issue is out on the shelf/reaches my doorstep. Although I’ll glance through just about anything, my regular reads include: Glamour Zest Healthy Runners’ World Notice how 75% of those are health-related? Over the years, I’ve read countless articles/tips/success stories …
Ever notice how the ideal of ‘healthy living’ is discussed in such a negative light? There’s a misconception that to achieve it, we need to restrict certain foods or eliminate them altogether from our diet. When you’re motivated to ‘become healthy’, how often does that involve: Giving up sweets/desserts Avoiding carbs at dinner Eliminating wheat from …
If you didn’t grow up with me/aren’t good friends with me, here’s something which you probably aren’t aware of about me: Growing up, I was majorly confused about my roots. My last name may end with ‘-ANI’ but I was almost certain that I was, how do I put it…African American. I would walk around …
