I’ve been in the gym everyday, and I’m doing my absolute best to eat healthy, but that damn carrot cake… anyway, thanks to Liz Vaccariello’s new book, The Digest Diet; I’ve found two smoothies that will not only satisfy my sweet tooth (fingers crossed), but they are also packed with FAT RELEASERS!

TASTY TIPS
· In the grape version, you can first wash and dry individual grapes, then freeze them and add them to the blender frozen.
· The tangerine/ orange version tastes like a creamsicle, but you have to cut the segments out from between the membranes or you get big pieces of skin in the shake!Enjoy!

FAT Launch Party @FaToronto
I went to the FAT Launch/Drake Lab Exhibit opening party this weekend, and lasted all of 5 minutes… I don’t know, I guess I was just in a stay-at-home-and-away-from-humans kinda mood lol. I did take some pictures though, and from some of the stuff I saw, I have a feeling FAT Toronto is going to be all kinds of awesome this year!
Have fun at FAT!

Jet Set with McKlein Glen Ellyn
I have traveled to over 40+ cities in the world but I have never bought luggage in my life. I came home yesterday and found the best surprise ever! My sister got me something! It’s from Chicago based luggage company McKlein USA and it’s their pink Glen Ellyn 2-in-1 travel bag! It’s 100% Italian leather, pink and has a life time warranty. Since I break everything like a mini tornado – there could not be a better bag for me.
It comes in 6 colors. Which one is your favorite?
Patented 2-in-1 Detachable Wheel and Handle System. Quick access front pocket is secured with a key lock. Interior organizer with storage space for media devices, business cards, key holder and pens. Double compartment divided by secured zipper pocket for important documents. Removable high-density laptop sleeve that protects laptops up to 15.4” in size. Dual Laptop Protection System uses a high-tech ABS honeycomb frame to protect laptop from exterior impact and a sleeve with high-density foam to help absorb shock and prevent moisture intake. Smart Attachment Strap allows transport on extended handles of other rolling cases and luggage. Bonus! Protective Weatherproof Cover. Black case is trimmed in black. Red case is trimmed in red. Orange, green, blue, sand and pink cases are trimmed in sand.
The luggage detaches so that you can carry the bag to your meeting or conference easily.
I can’t wait to use it! Check out the Glen Ellyn and more styles on http://www.mckleinusa.com

Tinted Moisturizer with @SueDevittBeauty
Looking for the perfect tinted moisturizer for the spring and summer seasons? Try Sue Devitt’s Hydrating Marine Minerals Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15. The semi-sheer illuminating coverage and super lightweight finish is enough to even skin tone without that heavy, oily feeling of foundation! Its wonderfully hydrating, and it has SPF 15, so it protects my skin from the harsh summer sun. With price points at 40$, it’s a bit of a splurge, but you won’t be sorry. I just love this product–its become my daily go-to essential! You can purchase Sue Devitt’s SpaComplextion Hydrating Marine Minerals Tinted Moisturizer on her website or at Ulta Beauty Stores.
