Smoothies

So, while doing dishes last night I realized that I still have a blender that I got 6 years ago as a wedding gift that has only been used once (no of course it wasn't to make margaritas!) Wink wink. I love smoothies and shakes but haven't had any in a while because of all of the sugar that sometimes goes into them. I am terrified of cooking. Does making smoothies and shakes count as cooking?? I spotted this Pumpkin Spice Shake recipe (thanks LauraBeth) that sounds incredible though.

•1/2 banana (peeled, frozen, diced) •1/3 cup pumpkin puree •1/3 cup FF plain Greek yogurt •3/4-1cup vanilla soy or almond milk •Few shakes of pumpkin spice (Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice) •Few shakes of cinnamon •1tsp vanilla •4-5 ice cubes

Does anyone have any great recipes they like or have any blender pointers? Remember I'm a newbie. My practically brand new blender will thank you.

Sequins and More Sequins

Well, it's that time of the year, sequin holiday time!  I have always adored sequins but have noticed a lack thereof in my closet.  Well, no more; I am really in full sequin mode this year.  I think I have been slacking on buying sequin items because of a fear of them being itchy, heavy or only being pulled out of my closet around the holidays, but a little sacrifice in the name of fashion is only fair, right?!  I posted three of my favorite sequin skirts that I'm really loving right now - all at different price points under $100.  What I love most about the skirts below is that these prints can really be worn year-round.  Sequins and a tribal print; it doesn't get much better than this.  I'm also really loving the girly flower print on the Forever 21 version.  Why should we only wear sequins during the holidays, right?!

Hello

Hi ladies!  I am new to the world of blogging.  This is my first post, and it will be short and sweet for now.  I just wanted to share a great deal before it's gone.  Limited has this incredible faux leather pleated skirt for sale for $14.99!  I bought it last week while they were offering 40% off, so it came to $8.99.  Less than $10 for a faux leather skirt, I'll take it.  You can find the skirt here.  I recommend sizing down.  Please forgive me for the horrible iPhone pic, but you get the idea.  I'll talk to you soon!
