    Rachel Roy Spring

    Went down to the Bay flagship store today at Queen St W for the unveiling of Rachel Roy’s spring collection. This is the only location that will carry both RACHEL by Rachel Roy and the Black Label. Rachel Roy New York is the only collection that will be available exclusively at The Bay Queen St.

     The other two collections, Rachel Roy Signature and RACHEL Rachel Roy are available across Canada at 18 doors (mostly Flagship stores)


    Me, Rachel Roy, Shannae

    HCB #11: Cookin dem birds! (part 2)

    So in part 1, I was stuffin them, and now in part 2, I’ve cooked them!
    I cooked them slowly in the oven for about 35-40 minutes.
    I LOVE butternut squash; as a soup, as a stuffing, puree and even whole… well in cooked yummy cubes of course, you name it, I’m down. It has a delicate and buttery taste that I just can’t seem to get enough of! So with our recent weather change, it only seemed right that I pull out an old winter favorite! 
    ps: The butternut squash mash was the PERFECT companion for this chicken!
    Some butternut trivia!
    Rich in phytonutrients AND antioxidants 
    Low in fat with lots of fibre 
    Significant amounts of potassium (good for bone health) 
    Contains vitamin B6, essential for the proper functioning of both the nervous and immune systems.
    So, next time you wanna have mash potatoes, try having mash butternut squash, it’s to die for! Less fattening, with MUCH MUCH MORE flavour! 

    *love love love*
    ♥B♥
    ps: Make sure you pick an unblemished fruit that feels heavy for its size, with a matte and NOT a glossy skin. (Glossy skin means the fruit was picked too early and isn’t AS sweet!)

    I NEED these in my life!

    “Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.”Vibram FiveFingers
    Dear Vibram FiveFingers, I believe your footwear and I were destined to be together. I’m a jump rope fanatic, and I can’t find any shoes that are comfortable enough… these would be PERFECT!
    love Bella 

    After “recovering” from a severe pinky toe fracture on my right foot a couple years ago (while running away from my sister with a pan of shrimp ha ha ha), I noticed that regular tasks done with my feet weren’t quite the same anymore, for example, my balance was all wonky and when I worked out, I put more pressure on the other foot without even realizing it… it doesn’t sound so bad, except for the fact that I’m slowly fuc…damaging my other foot by doing so. You can imagine my horror, when I injured my left foot, and fractured my big toe, working out was about to get EVEN MORE complicated… Truth is after my injuries, regular running shoes KILL my feet, so when I saw these my heart skipped a beat… Vibram FiveFingers footwear, I believe they made these for people like me who seem prone to foot injuries! I think I may have finally found the solution to my i-can’t-seem-to-find-good-work-out-shoes problem. Work out shoes that fit like a glove… brilliant!
    6 Reasons to Wear Vibram FiveFingers: I only need one! lol

    1. Strengthens Muscles in the Feet and Lower Legs
    2. Improves Range of Motion in Ankles, Feet and Toes
    3. Stimulates Neural Function Important to Balance and Agility
    4. Improves Proprioception and Body Awareness
    5. Eliminates Heel Lift to Align the Spine and Improve Posture
    6. Allows the Foot and Body to Move Naturally, Which Just FEELS GOOD.

    Now for more shoes…

    Women’s Classic – This patented FiveFingers design takes a minimalist approach to barefooting. Non-marking Vibram TC1 performance rubber soles protect your feet and provide a sure grip over a variety of terrain. A thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric fits low on the foot—for comfort and quick drying.
    These particular shoes are best for: Running, Fitness Training, Martial Arts, Yoga, Pilates, Travel

    The KSO features a thin, abrasion-resistant stretch nylon and breathable mesh upper that wraps your entire forefoot to “Keep Stuff Out.” A single hook-and-loop closure helps secure the fit. A non-marking 3.5mm Vibram TC1 performance rubber outsole is razor-siped for a sure grip, and a 2mm EVA midsole enhances plating protection and comfort.

    Best for: Running, Fitness Training, CrossFit, Light Trekking, Bouldering, Water Sports, & Travel

    The FiveFingers Performa was designed to enhance a barefoot feeling. The kangaroo leather upper feels soft against the bare foot, yet is strong and tear resistant. The 7-part Vibram rubber sole offers maximum feel and flexibility without sacrificing slip resistance. The Performa was designed primarily for indoor use during fitness training, CrossFit, and for after sport. The sole is not designed for extended use during outdoor activities like trekking, running, or water sports.

    “Some have called FiveFingers Sprint the most versatile footwear they own.”  for a personalized, secure fit.
    (WINNER!)A thin abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric follows the contour of the foot for comfort.
    SPRINT is best for: Light Trekking, Climbing, Canyoneering, Running, Fitness Training, Martial Arts, Yoga, Pilates, Sailing, Boating, Kayaking, Canoeing, Surfing, Flats Fishing, Travel and Best for Meeeeeee!

    Apple of my Eye

    I heart apple scented beauty products! Some people call Toronto the Little Apple because it is a mini-New York. I think they are right, no other city is as fresh, crisp and energizing as the tDot-O.  


    Here are my summer wish list.

    Socks or NO Socks?

    Ladies, some of y’all got some crazy bedroom rules! lol

    I was having a conversation with a couple gentlemen the other day. One of them, we’ll call him (P) says to me, “Bella, lemme ask you a question, because I need to understand this from a woman’s point of view.” I knew this would be interesting so of course, I told him to ask away.
    He proceeded to tell me about an experience he had with a woman, who wouldn’t have sex with him, until he took his socks off. Yes, she paused the “goings on” to ask him to take his socks off. As this was something he’d never encountered before, he was wondering if this was something that  we women were “doing” nowadays or if it is was some kinda of unwritten female “rule”. Um NO.

    I told him the next time that happens, he needs to ask her, “Dick or socks off?” she can pick which one she wants more. lol. Now if his socks are nasty and smelly that’s a totally different situation, and shame on you (any man) for tryna get your groove on with crusty socks on but I digress. He says his socks were clean, and the only reason he wanted to keep them on was because he was cold. But she wouldn’t get down and dirty if he kept his socks on. What could his socks possibly do to you girl?????
    Are your REALLY thinking about socks when it’s time to get down with the get down??? Then that’s a problem. Either mister man over there isn’t pressing the right buttons, or… I don’t know man, if he’s pressing all the right buttons, and you’re complaining about socks, you don’t deserve the potential dope d*ck game he might lay on your ass!
    And if his socks are really bothering you, and he doesn’t wanna take them off, then you need to get that bedroom HOT AND STEAMY that way he won’t be able to keep them on! dig?
    Happy Hump Day!
    ♥Bella♥
    Any “SOCKS OFF” ladies out there? If so, please help us understand 🙂
