consumerism + vanity

still on shopping...

i'm about to do some online shopping in time for my trip to nyc.

first on list is a "coastal scents" make up palette.


imagine getting around 88 colors for just a little over $20. amazing right?

next are some workout dvds... including the ones by tracy anderson.


her claim to fame? she is (or was) the trainer of madonna, gwenyth, shakira, etc...


her supposed regimen can make you get muscles without the bulk.

her moves are a little funny to do... imagine repetitive pilates...

or better yet, remember how madonna danced in her ray of light music video?


here's a short clip on her moves.



*sucker*

wanna hitch a ride with the purchases?

happy eatster

what's nice about staying home over a long weekend is having time to cook. (nuk).

here's a few of what i whipped up today:

my own version of cibo's roasted pork with herbs using organic shabu-shabu-cut pork (sorry no photo of finished product).


my usual-and-fave baked squash & pesto gratin.


hub's usual-and-fave grilled chicken pesto panini.


parmesan-crusted (well, this time emental-crusted since i forgot to buy parmesan yesterday before everything closed!) cream dory fillet.


and my new masterpiece, a once-boiled, twice-cooled, twice-fried fries... so it tastes like those uber-good-crunchy-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside fries in restos. it's a recipe we took from one of the hub's gq mags.


and the nice thing about cooking at home is being in control of what you eat -- organic, free-range, no-gmo, low-fat, low-salt, blah blah...

and now, i'm really into this whole organic, free-range, no-gmo, low-fat, low-salt, blah blah, thanks to this documentary:


this flick is the perfect way to jumpstart your new healthy life. watch me make some lifestyle switches, slowly but surely.

if you're wondering, here's a snippet of the docu... and checkout the uber cool & creative opening credits.



apart from eating right, i'm also starting a different workout now...

since i always thought that running made me eat more than i actually would burn, i switched to this:


it's a little cheesy but it seems to work. think lotsa lunges and weights (and embarrassing-for-your-eyes-only dance steps).

good cardio and strength combo.

(and guaranteed results in 10 sessions... haha)
