Last night I was in the mood to cook. I was about to break out the butter and sugar and create a total cookie fest. And then I thought about it: If I’m trying to eat healthy and so are my BFFs, why would I make sweets? If you have the urge to get crafty in the kitchen this weekend, whip up something your bod will love ya for, like this yummy (and substantial!) salad.
Feel better about your bod.
Eat carrots and tomatoes.
A recent study found that eating veggies high in carotenoids makes your skin glow. Add a li’l red ‘n’ orange to your salad and you’re golden. Easy-peasy and no bronzer required.
Dance!
Lately, we’ve been talking a lot about things that make us happy. Dancing kept popping up on all of our lists. Whether you practice a bit of ballet or just groove along to your fave tunes, take a few minutes to just break it down this afternoon. Or get creative and give belly dancing a whirl.
