Wow, I've been busy! Haven't had a chance to post lately. But I'm back. And I'm back with a tip for a cool new website nonetheless!
As I mentioned in a previous post, I purchased some moissanite earrings for a little gift for myself for Valentine's Day--and I love 'em ;) After checking out Charles & Colvard's website for a few tips on how to clean my earrings, I came across their new addition--a website that reaches out to women. It's called BrillianceofMe.com and I have to say, I really like it. There are articles on what's new in fashion, zodiac profiles (which I'm excited about, because I'm an Aries and my profile will be coming up soon!), a section that features very successful women, a photo contest and more.
I always like learning about new websites that have valuable, interesting and entertaining content (especially if it's about beauty or fashion), so I thought this time I'd pass this one on so other people can access it. Check it out!

Four-lettered word: DIET
I hate dieting. In fact, it's a word I usually do not include in my vocabulary or my lifestyle. I just eat healthy regularly. But I've noticed as I've been busier over the past 6 months or so I've had more take-out dinners, and I've been spending a lot of time in front of a desk and in the car, I've gained a few pounds and gotten a little, well, flabby.
Now, there's a big special event coming up in exactly 4 weeks, and I need to look good. So I have 4 weeks to really seriously eat well and exercise. But I can't help but think there may be a few little diet secrets out there that could help me. (I can stick with it for a few weeks, anyway, right?)
Conveniently, I found a Time Magazine article that highlights "10 Notable Diet Books of 2008." What makes them notable, I wondered? Notable in a good way, as in they're effective, or notable as in they're just interesting (but could be complete nonsense)? I read and found out.
The article doesn't actually pass too much judgement on these books, instead, the reporter gives a brief description of each book and writes a couple sentences about what kind of weight loss the books inspire their readers to achieve. For example, the "Eat This, Don't Eat That" book is mainly for men who eat fast food and just want some "healthier" fast food - Big Mac instead of Whopper. Ha. The "Skinny Bitch in the Kitch" is the next edition of last year's diet craze made popular by Victoria Beckham--so, this one's probably for women who follow Hollywood happenings. The "Women's Health Perfect Body Diet" seems like a smart approach to your overall best health, including exercise six days a week.
This article didn't quite inspire me to pick up any one book in particular. Instead, I think I'll head to Barnes & Noble during my lunch hour tomorrow and browse through the health & diet section--it can't hurt to skim a few books for a little motivation! If that doesn't work, I guess I'll just post a "fat" picture of me on my fridge. Uggh. I haven't done that before, but I bet it's effective!
