This is not another ho hum preachy post on "HOW TO or NOT TO" stuff your face with unhealthy processed greasy junk food.

I relish candles. There is something expressive about a singular flame slowly melting wax away and I like it. It's captivating and makes me happy!

Call me crazy, but occasionally I will light a candle and burn it all day and night just because I… Continue reading FITness holds a candle

We have a saying here in Dallas, Texas and that is, "if you don't like the current weather conditions, just wait a minute."

Do what is best for yourself. Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean you need or should follow suit. Do what is best for YOU!

Happiest new year to you! I hope you have a super week back in the real world. For many of you it's a SHORT work week and that's always nice! FITness and fashion have a pesky common denominator.

With all of our technology and constant advertising it’s hard to know what’s fact or fiction in the FITness world. Here’s a Friday tib bit #abercrombiefitness #fitspo #reblog #personaltrainer #fitnessblogger #friday
There is so much crap out in the market place. FAKE NEWS, industry lies, gimmicks and off the wall ridic quirky quick fixes with false promise.
How can anyone know what is good or bad or true or false?
Today I will attempt to indemnify some of your failures and answer some of your enquiring “FITness and Health”related questions. After all, just because a vegetable is green and nutrient rich doesn’t mean it comes without adverse side effects!
Does broccoli cause bloating! That’s a big fat YES! And while you’re at it, add cabbage and kale to the list.
Kale, broccoli, and cabbage are cruciferous vegetables, which contain raffinose, whatever that is! Lol. I won’t leave you hanging, raffinose sugar that remains undigested until bacteria in your gut ferment it, which produces gas and, in turn, cause bloating. But don’t shun the healthful greens just yet.

Do you ever feel like you’re suffocating from all of the STUFF?
Sometimes I look around my house and feel like a hostage. I’m surrounded by too much clutter, not to be confused for my admitted furniture fetish. I’m addicted to furniture…so sue me!
My Mr. Chicken Fry has a big time FOOT fetish. He pays attention to FEET and thankfully adores mine! It’s a serious thing this fetish of his. I literally have girlfriends that will unequivocally NOT come around my hubby if they aren’t properly polished and pedicured to perfection. It’s true! They fear the wrath of the Chicken Fry mock! He will openly rake you over the coals for poor foot care.
I had this photo made as a surprise wedding gift. I snuck out his two mangy amazing labs under the radar but what he loved most was my bare foot!!!
