must see flicks: this is 40

Over the weekend, I watched, "Love Actually" and it was actually just enough to get me feeling all warm and fuzzy again. If you don't like this movie during the holidays, there is something seriously wrong with you. Or, err- you're a dude. Anyways, I literally laughed my ass off by myself to Hugh Grant dancing to "Jump, For My Love." SO PRECIOUS!

I also cannot wait to see, "This is 40" with my girl, Leslie Mann. This preview had me cracking up again, by myself. Just me and the TV. This is starting to get really embarrassing. Favorite line, probably because I could see myself saying it, "I would enjoy our last few months together, but while killing you." Hil-arious!

Off to Minneapolis, to kick Adrian Peterson's ass back to the bench. Check ya Wednesday Chi! xoxo

yo quiero taco kel

Alright, I'm no top chef, you got me! BUT - I can make some pretty damn good tacos, and they are healthy too. Ditch the premade seasoning packs you buy at the store, which contain a boat load of sodium and will make you swollen as... um, heck [trying not to cuss] and give my recipe a whirl :)

Here's my starting line-up:

1. Oil the pan and start with cooking some lean, ground turkey on low-med heat 

2. Season the meat with a chili powder and ground cumin combination

3. I like it hot-hot-hot, so I add ghost pepper salsa to the meat

4. Put your fixins on and bon appetit

CAUTION: ghost peppers are the hottest peppers in the world, so unless you are as intense as I am, I suggest you take it easy with this ingredient! 

Let's go BEARS! [Cutler, don't make me regret starting you] xoxo

work it out

Although I'd much rather wear a giant, comfy t-shirt while working out, I've been forcing myself to wear tanks lately. I've found that I'm much more conscious of my core and abs when I'm wearing something tight and/or revealing, which gives me a much better workout as a result. Definitely has nothing to do with being single, definitely not. I really like these Beyond Yoga tanks, but don't pay full price. Get them off amazon or ebay for much cheaper!

           

I swear, I don't think I could do a push-up or pull-up if I tried. If you're the same, then I suggest you give this Tracy Anderson arm workout a go. So what if you can't pump iron- looking the part is all that matters anyways, right? Your arms will get toned from doing this routine, and just try not to laugh and have fun doing it- I dare you!  

Happy stop being fat Tuesday! xoxo

i dream of red rocks

Ever since I learned about Red Rocks, I have been absolutely obsessed with the idea of seeing a concert there. I guess my fascination isn't that shocking seeing as it's an acoustically perfect amphitheater located in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Still, my dream is to see Mumford and Sons perform there... How amazing would that be?! Should these two worlds collide, I WILL be there to witness the magic- No matter what! Mark my words.

That being said, if you ever hear of this happening, please holler my way! xoxo
