Alhambra Warehouse

My latest find is delish!! Clothes that are super fashiony, in the practical-comfortable-attitude way... was discovered! And, for 50-75% off. Yep, that's right, it means that frocks are seriously affordable and oh so delish! It's a little hidden from normal view, but worth the find- it's right behind University Village.
The scoop: the main store is located in downtown Seattle- but it turns over its stuff to its warehouse which completely discounts the clothes for sale.

Seattle: Stayin In

The Seattle PI, rival to the Seattle Times, has a great section in the paper called Staying In. Its a fresh take on life and the randomness that's involved. My fav? The drink recipes and the cool websites- can't go wrong! And, it's updated daily- but I think prints on Fridays.

Forever 21

Budget fashionistas unite and shop til you drop- Forever 21 is fun. Don't expect quality, however. But do expect a fashion-forward affordable seasonal wardrobe. Great for picking up the latest accessories or that one bold outfit to add to your closet.

Selfish People

So, my thought of the day is about: selfish people.

How may do you know? To what extent are they selfish? Are they worth keeping in your life?

Live Longer, Feel Younger

While watching Oprah, I had a stark realization that yes, the food I put into my body may not agree with my body. Yes, that's right- even though it's "light, fat free, diet," a substitute, etc etc... my body may not actually know what it is. Sure it tastes great, but my ancestors obviously didn't eat "I can't believe its not butter"... so how am I expecting my body to know how to process all the chemically-processed ingredients?
