Back on Grass

I am back on GRASS!  Wheatgrass that is! I got slack about taking it.  It does taste and smell like GRASS.  The kind that grows in my front yard

Chris Tia Donaldson, author of Thank God I'm Natural, wrote and excellent article
on the benefits of wheatgrass.

Having broken my hip, in a tragic car accident, prompted me to try the GRASS, for arthritic purposes.

I quickly discovered that I gained more energy, less of a curvy girl appetite, and WHAT???  No pain in a hip that felt like someone was stabbing me in my hip socket and dragging the knife up and down!

The grass does enter your system within about 20 minutes.

Oh yeah, I also discovered that the wheatgrass is a cleanser.  Start off slowly, I recommend 1 oz shots.
I bought my wheatgrass in frozen containers, from Whole Foods.  However, I bought a juicer and now, I am growing my own seeds.

Thrifting

I have become a thrifter.  Partly in fault, to the Trendy Socialite.

Today, I went to my local Goodwill Center.  This one is awesome, if you don't mind sorting.  I don't!

You can buy the items by the pound.  I had 11 pounds worth of stuff! Total cost was 16.00!

I got:

2 purses/bags

1 rolling laptop case by Samsonite

1 vest

1 sportscoat/blazer

1 tunic style blouse

1 aqua dress- video coming later about that..

Here's the video

Thrifty

I am a follower of The Trendy Socialite.  She has shown me that being "Trendy" is not to hard to pull off.

The OOTD, was mostly thrfted.

The jacket was 6.95. thrifted
The shirt (actually a skirt, pulled up like a tube top) 2.95 thrifted
The pants- Ashley Stewart .9.99
The shoes- Nordstroms 20.00

Couldn't decide how to wear my hair up or down.

Living my Life Like It's Golden

Jill Scott is one of my favorite singers.  Luh-ove her!

My dad taught us to life a life with no regrets.  Dont wait for your bucket list.  Live your life!!

Here's what I did in March!!

Went to see Prince

Sang for Simon at Madam Tussaud's

SCREAMED for Alfred Hitchcock!

Went to see Ellen with the owner of Koils By Nature, Pamela Jenkins.

Pam and I, met up with my Curls, from Curly Nikki- These are all my PLAY COUSINS!

Shoes...Shoes and more Shoes!

Ellen has gotten me to fall for Justin Beiber.  Yes, I got bit by the Beiber FEVER!  He is such a humble little man.  True he might not know the origins of the Dougie Dance.  Uh Usher, SCHOOL your protege'!

This story really is going somewhere:  I promise!
Went to the Ellen Show for my birthday.  One of her guests that day was Selena Gomez.  Selena had on the prettiest pair of shoes!  Well, surfing the web tonight, I have noticed this little girl has her SHOE GAME on LOCK!

Take a peek at these:
