Hi guys! I've been pretty silent for a while. A lot has been going on. First on the horizon is a big move. Yes, my husband and I are moving from Albuquerque, New Mexico back to good ol' Washington State. One of things I'm most excited about is being able to collaborate on blog posts with fellow contributor, Jamie. While Jamie and I have been best friends for 10 years, I didn't start this blog until after I moved to New Mexico so we haven't had that opportunity yet.<br />

My last day at my full-time job was June 10th. When I resigned I knew I'd be spending a lot of time prepping the house to move, but I didn't even think about how much time that would take. I think I'm more busy now than when I was working! I've spent so many hours packing, cleaning, taking things to Good Will, etc., that I think I actually relax for 1 to 2 hours each night. I have to say, it's been kind of enjoyable though. I've been able to see substantial changes around the house, which is satisfying, and I've been getting a good workout at the same time.<br />
<br />
Of course, I still am self-employed part-time with my company (Major Media + Design) so I'm not totally work free - but I've gotten a taste of what it's truly like to control my own schedule and I have to say I'm in love. I've learned that I know how to work hard even around my house with it's endless available distractions and I'm pretty excited by that discovery.<br />
<br />

Of course the move is going to settle down soon. We plan to be in Washington a week from Saturday. We really are selling everything (<a href="http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/fuo/5075533342.html" target="_blank">if you live in Albuquerque, check out my Craigslist add!</a>), so while that makes move prep more time consuming, moving in should be a quick and easy process.<br />
<br />
After all this hard work I figured I deserve a drink, and I'm guessing you've been working away and deserve one too! It's summer now, so we are into the land of fruity cocktails that I adore. This one is so easy, you could probably make it blind folded.<br />

Seriously, it's 1 part <a href="http://svedka.com/#!/flavors/svedka-strawberry-lemonade" target="_blank">Svedka Strawberry Lemonade</a>, 1 part <a href="http://www.canadadry.com/#/products/tonicWater" target="_blank">tonic water</a>, and a squeeze of lemon. Delicious! I chose to garnish mine with chopped strawberries and a lemon (<i>please</i> don't do this part with your eyes closed) to add some color. To fill my glass I used 2 shots of the Svedka and 2 shots of the tonic water. Really, though, as long as they are equal parts, you're good.<br />

This tastes exactly like an adult version of Strawberry Lemonade, so your tastebuds will be happy even if you aren't really a Vodka lover. If you've been working hard, don't forget to take a break this weekend and have a drink. Cheers!<br />

If you have yet to discover the fantastic world of Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, now may be the perfect time. You've probably been watching the latest season of Game of Thrones and been wondering if there is any way to infuse more dragons into your life... especially since Khaleesi seems to have lost all control of her dragons. And if you haven't been watching Game of Thrones... that's OK, because once you get past dragons and a vaguely Medieval world, that's where the similarities pretty much stop.<br />
<br />
In Seraphina's hometown of Goredd, dragons are accepted as an unfortunate part of life. Dragons used to hunt humans just a few decades ago, but thanks to the current queen a treaty was signed and an uneasy peace has reigned ever since. Dragons have analytical minds, much like the Vulcans of Star Trek, and
make decisions based entirely on reasoning. Their lack of emotions and refusal to understand emotions keeps dragon/human relations from
improving past the point of tolerance. No longer allowed to take their natural form around cities, dragons must fold themselves down into human shape and are thus allowed to attend court, live in the city, and work for living.<br />
<br />
The anniversary of the treaty is coming soon and Seraphina, who works as a musician at court, is busy preparing the musical entertainment for the celebration and arrival of the leader of dragons. In a time already filled with tension, a member of the royal family has been murdered and all the evidence points toward a dragon as the murderer. Seraphina is worried for both sides as the big day draws near, for she is half human and half dragon due to the illegal marriage of her father (a human) and mother (a dragon). No one must be allowed to discover Seraphina's secret as she would surely be killed as an abomination. Will the treaty hold? Will the human race be able to survive if it doesn't? Seraphina joins forces with the captain of the Queen's Guard in attempt to save the peace.<br />
<br />
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of YA Fantasy Fiction. The plot was fast paced and yet enough time was spent on character development that I felt as if I knew the protagonist. Seraphina is a smart young woman who learns to accept herself for who she is during the course of the story. She knows how to be alone and relies on her own strength, and yet she also understands the importance of relationships and working as a team. While Seraphina does fall pray to some typical YA motifs (of course she falls for the prince...), the novel feels unique and always remains entertaining. I couldn't put Serpahina down and finished it in a couple days, only to be disappointed when I learned the sequel was not yet out.<br />

It is your lucky day, though, because Shadow Scale came out in March of this year. I purchased it on day one and had read the entire thing by the weekend. I won't go into details for fear of spoiling book one, but I will say that Shadow Scale is every bit as good as Seraphina. If you are looking to add a little bit more magic to your day, this book will be waiting for you.<br />
<br />
Do you enjoy YA books? Have you ever read Seraphina and/or Shadow Scale and, if so, what did you think?<br />

<br />
Prepare yourself, the rest of the pictures aren't going to be so pretty. A little background before we get started. I stumbled across the blog <a href="http://www.un-fancy.com/" target="_blank">Unfancy by Caroline</a> and became inspired by her pictures of her beautiful wardrobe... made up of only 37 pieces, including shoes. Not only do I love all her outfits (I want to steal her clothes), but the level of ease and organization associated with each post made me wish for something similar.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTZK7TXtQrQbL9mnpUsGdK1qlNfw4CcpYZHw-QesrbnNEfWRpoBSzZHLIFIi1cyEZbyagAkmbvUvA3ogVyvozoBy7w9UNBST2WaO0tUFz3mtVe2f800E14C5KqEz94lj6P7ic0bsi9Jc/s1600/closet1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTZK7TXtQrQbL9mnpUsGdK1qlNfw4CcpYZHw-QesrbnNEfWRpoBSzZHLIFIi1cyEZbyagAkmbvUvA3ogVyvozoBy7w9UNBST2WaO0tUFz3mtVe2f800E14C5KqEz94lj6P7ic0bsi9Jc/s1600/closet1.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I started by throwing every single piece of clothing I own onto my bed. This picture doesn't even do justice to the mound of clothing. I then divided everything by category. Anything with unintentional holes went into the throw away pile. Everything that was still in good shape, but that I knew I hadn't worn in over a year went into the <a href="http://www.goodwill.org/" target="_blank">Goodwill</a> pile. The rest was divided by the type of clothing (shirts in one pile, shorts in another, dresses in yet another, etc.). From there I picked out pieces that were must haves, such as my favorite jeans. I kept all my workout clothes and PJs. Then I sorted down the rest of my clothing based on how often I wear it and how much I liked it (generally they are one and the same). Eventually I got that huge pile of clothes down to minimal closet space.<br />

I wish I had taken better pictures, but I didn't originally think I would write a post about this. I was so happy with the end result, though, that I wanted to share! I ended up with four trash bags full of clothing to donate. I'm feeling pretty accomplished and it really did make deciding what to wear that much easier! I've decided that my new rule for clothing is that anytime I buy something new, something old must go.<br />

While describing Olivia’s powerful look to <span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/" target="_blank">Vanity Fair</a>,</span> Kerry reminded us that “people come to Pope and Associates on the worst day of their lives. I’m giving them the hard truth. Olivia is a person who is really smart about the performance of identity—she tells people how to dress for court, or for a press conference. So she, herself, would make a similar decision about her aesthetic.”</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">But no look is ever complete without accessories. "The biggest thing for me are the shoes," says Kerry in a recent interview with Huffington Post. "I’ll wear Uggs around set, but I can’t rehearse a scene in them because I don’t feel like Olivia until I put the shoes on. Shoes define how you walk in the world and how you stand, like: what is your posture in life?" In a world where things are never just black or white, these houndstooth heels from Nordstrom's can go with everything when the going gets tough. </span></div>

If you have a some <a href="http://www.how2makehome.com/2015/04/ridiculously-practical-meals-crock-pot.html" target="_blank">Crock Pot Chicken Chili left over from yesterday</a> and aren't quite feeling the stew vibe, make a sandwich! It's great for a quick, easy, and healthy lunch. I used rosemary sourdough bread and reading raclette cheese for a well balanced sandwich that is great hot or cold. Don't forget to add some fruit or veggies on the side!<br />

It is still <a href="http://howtomakehome.blogspot.com/2015/04/fashion-friday-april-showers.html" target="_blank">April showers season</a> and there's nothing quite like hunkering down with a warm bowl of stew when it is raining outside. Even better if there is barely any prep-work and you can just sink right in after work. This slow cooker recipe doesn't take very many ingredients, so you can just throw everything in, turn it on, and walk away!<br />

Throw everything in a crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours. Afterward the chicken will be falling off the bone. Simply use a fork to shred the chicken, simultaneously removing the bones and throwing them away. Stir everything together and serve!<br />

They say April showers bring May flowers, but here in Washington we
are more than ready for the showers to stop and return to the sunny
spring. Even though its raining and pouring, that doesn't mean we
cant have fun with fashion!<br />

Growing up, jumping in puddles was always one of my favorite
things. However, nothing was worse than soaked socks if I forgot to wear
proper footwear. Step one for a rainy day outfit is definitely to
consider the water-resistance level of your shoes.
Anything cloth will soak right through and suede can also be damaged or
stained. While you don't necessarily need to be resigned to the
plastic rain boots from childhood, I highly recommend something leather
like these grey riding boots from

When the sky is cloudy like this, its hard to do anything more
than curl up in a blanket by the fire with a good book (if you need
reading suggestions or maybe a drink, make sure to check out our
Literary Libations posts
<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://howtomakehome.blogspot.com/2015/01/literary-libations-grapefruit-mimosa.html" target="_blank">here</a></span>!).
Unfortunately, as adults, work or school usually get in the way of this.
Therefore the second step to compiling your outfit is to wear something
comfortable! I have always been a big fan of
<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://howtomakehome.blogspot.com/2014/11/fashion-friday-comfy-casual-thanksgiving.html" target="_blank">leggings and an over-sized sweater</a></span> on cold days for exactly this reason.</div>

Stepping outside, you certainly want to stay warm and stay
protected from the elements. Much like with rain boots, a rain jacket
is usually thought of as only something plastic. This Steve Madden coat
via
<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/" target="_blank">ModCloth</a></span> is my
absolute favorite for the fact that it is both warm and stylish. The
large hood is enough to keep me dry, plus adding in a truly unique and
vintage-style look.

<br />
For any of your outdoor wear - shoes and jackets alike - it is always
a good idea to spray them down with a water-proofing or water-resistant
treatment. My family has always used
<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.nikwax-usa.com/en-us/" target="_blank">Nikwax</a></span>, but there
are many brands available both online and in outdoor oriented stores.
These products are safe for almost all fabric types and help
tremendously to keep you warm and dry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The final touch to surviving the downpour is something to lighten your spirits on a dreary day. Grab a
<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/umbrellas/duck-duck-umbrella-in-yellow" target="_blank">sunny umbrella</a> </span>on your way out the door and you’ll be all set for whatever mother nature throws in in your direction. Happy Puddle Jumping!

My husband and I love Ramen bowls, but I've never made them myself before. This weekend I thought I'd try to make a traditional Ramen as a surprise for my husband. I wasn't totally confident about how it would turn out, but to my delight it was delicious!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgxys0IcGNlL35iKb17RdBbI7veOQbEJwtPXCPOMwd1e8wcaHkoW2glqxob9bCP1cEacRYTLG489FuQ9HNDaO5gDNTL7G3OqaHG32m9phnZfM14-TvCtmnBc6wfT4uF-XGWsNs9paDHhM/s1600/ramen2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgxys0IcGNlL35iKb17RdBbI7veOQbEJwtPXCPOMwd1e8wcaHkoW2glqxob9bCP1cEacRYTLG489FuQ9HNDaO5gDNTL7G3OqaHG32m9phnZfM14-TvCtmnBc6wfT4uF-XGWsNs9paDHhM/s1600/ramen2.JPG" height="640" width="638" /></a></div>
I could never have come up with a delicious Ramen recipe on my own, but I found the wonderful blog <a href="http://www.japanesecooking101.com/ramen-recipe/" target="_blank">Japanese Cooking 101</a> run by the talented Noriko and Yuko. The only thing I changed from their recipe was that I didn't have time for my pork to marinate over night, so I only marinated it for about 4 hours. I'm sure it would have been more tender if given a full 24 hours, but I think it turned out great regardless! Plus I made the soup from scratch, I didn't even buy broth! I'm one happy camper. This is a little more time consuming than the recipes I normally post - maybe a weekend night recipe - but it's definitely worth it!<br />

<br />
One last tip, bean sprouts are hard to find! I was able to get them at my local Whole Foods, but the other grocery stores in my area didn't have them. If you don't have a Whole Foods see if you have a local Asian foods market.<br />

Spring has sprung and so has the start of festival season! There
are countless music festivals going on throughout the summer all over
the country, but the one to kick it all off is the infamous Coachella
Valley Music Festival held in Indigo, California.
Home to all genres of music and frequented by celebrities and cool kids
alike, Coachella is the epitome of festival boho-chic.

In keeping with this trend, we paired a floral tank form The Devil

Likewise, since the days are long, its nice to dress in layers so
that you can be ready for whatever mother nature throws at you. By
wearing a grey bralett under my shirt and having a cardigan on hand, I
was able to stay cool while the day was hot and
cozy up once the sun went down. Topping off this look with a hat and
some shades is all we need to be festival ready!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The sun is back and so is Fashion Friday!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After a bit of a rainy week here in Washington, it's nice to have a return to warm spring weather. The sun is shinning, the birds are chirping, and we're breaking out our summer shoes!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After wearing boots all winter, it's nice to let your feet breathe. While it's not quite time for sandals just yet, flats are an easy, slip-on/slip-off for of footwear that can go with virtually anything. We took these eye-catching sparkle flats from <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-flats" target="_blank">ModCloth</a> and cuffed the legs on a pair of basic denim to add extra emphasis. The golden sequins of the shoes complements the slight gold of this tie-top (also from <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/tops" target="_blank">ModCloth</a>) as well as the gold details on the purse and various gold accessories (<a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/handbags-shop?dept=8000001&origin=topnav" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a>).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We topped this look off with a earthy- green blazer from <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/womens-clothing/womens-jackets?id=120&edge=hybrid&cm_sp=us_hdr-_-women-_-120_jackets-%26-blazers" target="_blank">Macy's</a> as the finishing touch. As many of you know, we love a good blazer to help dress up a casual look. They are great for providing warmth as well as professionalism and always look classy (see <b><a href="http://howtomakehome.blogspot.com/2015/03/fashion-friday-class.html" target="_blank">last week's</a></b> post for more).</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />

<span></span><span></span><span>Despite the joy of the holiday
season and the beauty of fresh fallen snow, there always comes a time
when I am simply ready for the end of these dreary winter days and for
the sunshine to return. At long last, it is finally
March and hopefully warmer weather is soon to come. Daylight savings
has officially begun and now, with the worst of winter behind us, it is
time to start looking toward spring. </span>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span>Florals, pastels and bold colors are
abundant both on and off the runway, making a bright pink blazer (like
this one from H&M) a perfect statement to start the season.
Contrary to the cozy cardigans you've been cuddled
up in for the past few months, a blazer is a more polished,
sophisticated alternative. Truly versatile, they can be a finishing
touch to your interview attire, quickly dress up your daily outfit for
that last-minute rush to chapter meetings, or even just
add an extra layer of warmth when headed out the door each morning. The
thickness of my blazer helps to perfectly combat this last bit of
late-winter Washington chill, but finding one that fits your climate is
key. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span>Paired here with a neutral crochet
top (from J. Crew) and basic denim, the secret to pulling off this look
is to let the brightness of the bold jacket be the main focus point.
Even though this is a more casual look, wearing
a blazer makes this outfit instantly classy when attending class. And
of course, there are always accessories to help dress-up or dress-down
your look. They say the devil is in the details and adding further
spring color through bracelets (from Claire’s)
is a perfect complement to the blazer’s bright pink. With a finishing
touch of floral heels (from Macy's) and my tribal pack (from Forever
21), I am certainly looking forward to the start of spring.</span></div>

This week, we're trying our luck by taking a walk on the wild side.<br />

This tough, edgy look is incredibly easy to pull off. All we did was
pair a plain white tee and plain black leggings with boots and a leather
jacket. Top it off with a beanie and your bad self will be ready to
rock whatever life throws at you.<br />

This week's Fashion Friday is brought to you from the great outdoors!
Along with the darling miss Jenn, here are the ins and outs of how to stay
fashionable yet functional when out in the woods.<br />
<br />

Weather is notorious for changing dramatically and you don't want to be
caught unawares. Dressing in layers allows for you to enjoy the heat of
the day, but still have something toasty for campfire evenings. Here Jenn paired her <a href="http://www.forever21.com/" target="_blank">Forever 21</a> shorts over leggings along with an <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters</a> sweater.<br />

I love my collection of heels as much as any city girl, but when out in
the wilderness they just won't do. Uneven ground and long hikes require
footwear that's up to the task. Boots are best, and my favorite are these black Steve Maddens from <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/" target="_blank">Modcloth</a>.<br />

<b>3) Enjoy nature and have fun!</b><br />

In the hustle and bustle of every day, it's easy to get swept away with
meetings and deadlines. A camping trip is a great time to take a
break and take advantage of all nature has to offer. Relax, put the
phone away, go exploring and make some memories.<br />

Spring is just around the corner and here at HTMH, we can't wait for the warm weather!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But just because there's still a chill in the air doesn't mean you have
to stick to your heavy winter wardrobe. A simple maxi-dress in an
adorable print (like this one from <a href="https://instagram.com/shopruche/" target="_blank">@shopruche</a>!), can be great for more
than just late-summer evenings.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />The added length gives added warmth, and when paired with a cardigan its
just cozy enough to beat these dreary winter doldrums and kick-start
the spring season!<br />

Just before Valentine's, I want to bring you RED Look, part 3!</span><br />

While visiting my parents in England over Christmas, I fell in love
with the British fashion powerhouse of Burberry. With its clean
lines, traditional style, and timeless appeal, what's not to love?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
However, like most of the high-fashion world, those price tags can be a
bit pricy for us mere commoners. This can make purchasing large items
difficult for anyone without their own manor house and title, especially
when confronted with ever-changing styles and waistlines. Fortunately,
accessories are a true "one-size fits all" and often come far less
expensive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Utilizing accessories is a great way to introduce "high-fashion" in a
way that won't break the bank. Plus, due to the timeless nature of most
fashion houses, these becomes acceptable to wear year after year.<br />
<br />

Here, I paired a classic Burberry tartan scarf with an H&M
trench to achieve the age-old British look for half the price. Now all I needs is a prince to match!<br />

Sometimes there isn't anything better than a sparkling drink on winter morning to keep you feeling perky. My ideal Saturday morning is waking up late and curling up with a good mystery or fantasy novel, a croque monsieur, and mimosa. This weekend, why not mix it up? I'm sure by now that you've had a traditional mimosa, but it is equally as tasty (and slightly healthier) to replace the orange juice with grapefruit juice! You can make it the long way and actually squeeze the grapefruit yourself, or you can take a short cut and simply by grapefruit juice from your grocery store. When I make mine I use the 50/50 method and simply add equal amounts of champagne and juice, but you can always use the taste test, starting with a little juice, taste, add a little more, taste, until you're happy.<br />
<br />
Currently I'm reading <i>Gone Girl</i> by Gillian Flynn. I had heard so many great things about the book that I decided I better give it a chance. I never heard anything specific about the book, but a lot of people gave that vague "I really enjoyed it" answer and they made a movie out of it, so it must be popular. I really like reading books that have movies. After I read the book I always force my husband to watch the movie with me the very same night I finished the book. Then I analyze how well they translated the book into movie and harp on all the important pieces they skipped. I know, I'm just a ball of joy, but the English Writing major in me gets my kicks that way. So <u><i><b>SPOILERS</b></i></u> are coming. Don't read the next paragraph if you intend to read <i>Gone Girl</i> in the near future.<br />
<br />
Essentially <i>Gone Girl</i> is about a married couple having relationship problems. Then one day the wife disappears and that's where we come in. The husband, Nick, comes home on their 5 year anniversary and finds his house in disarray and his wife, Amy, is simply gone. He immediately calls the police, who soon discover that the living room is staged. The coffee table is knocked over, but the books that were on top are on the wrong side of the table. The couch is flipped over, but is too bottom heavy to have been flipped in a struggle. The paintings on the walls are perfectly straight, despite the fact that they fall over with a single stomp. The forensic team finds remnants of Amy's blood in the kitchen, where someone has clearly done a sloppy job mopping it up. It's not looking good for Nick. We read the novel from two points of view, we get Nick's thought process as he is in the present, and we see inside Amy's head via a diary left behind. We often see the same event from both points of view because something or other will trigger Nick's memory and he will think through an old event and then we read about it in Amy's diary. The thing that bothered me was that these two characters seemed to be living in alternate realities. They didn't connect on anything and the actually events were told differently enough that red flags were popping up all over the place. I almost stopped reading because the discrepancy annoyed me so much. Then, half way through, everything clicked into place.<br />
<br />
Amy is a psycho path. Half way through diary Amy comes to an end and we meet real, live, in-the-flesh Amy, who has run away and framed her husband for her murder. Nick isn't totally innocent, he has been cheating with a 23 year old woman, but he didn't ever harm or abuse his wife. Amy has been plotting her revenge for an entire year. And Missouri has the death penalty. This is when the novel came to life and I truly began enjoying it. I still haven't finished, but so far I think it was worth it to carry on reading through the first half. The payoff does come, it just takes longer than I'd like.<br />
<br />
Have you ever had a Grapefruit Mimosa? Have you read <i>Gone Girl</i> and if so, did you feel that the first half of the book was inconsistent? Let me know in the comments!<br />

Like most of you, I gave up all attempts at healthy living over
the holidays and my pants now fit a little tighter because of it. So, along with most the rest of the world during the month of January, I am attempting to get back into shape
by trying to actually go to the gym. And with that, Fashion <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_421661174" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Friday</span></span> is back with a round of workout wear (because who says you can't still be cute while you sweat?).</div>

For those of you (like me) who simply despise running, there are
other options as well. Yoga, for example, is not only incredibly
relaxing, but builds mussel strength and endurance as well as
significantly improving your balance (though I still can't seem
to get hang of a tree pose). Many gyms will offer beginning classes as
well as other great alternatives to traditional workouts including
kickboxing, zumba, or (my personal favorite) step aerobics!

If you don't have the funding (or time, or effort) that goes into a
gym membership, take a look online for some great at home workout
videos or make some simple changes in your daily life to help stay fit
without sacrificing your schedule. Some of my
favorites include:</div>
<ul>
<li>Using an exercise ball instead of a chair.
</li>
<li>Walk when and where you can.
</li>
<li>TAKE THE STAIRS.
</li>
<li>Do sit-ups or jumping jacks during commercials.</li>
</ul>

Most importantly, don't be intimidated by those around you. As the
great internet has quoted, “Don't compare your chapter 1 to someone
else’s chapter 20.” Everyone has to start somewhere, the important thing
is that you are putting in the effort to live
a healthier life and that you feel good about the choices you are
making. So whether you grab a friend and suffer through together or go
it alone, just keep taking those steps in a positive direction.</div>

Jamie (<a href="http://www.instagram.com/browneyelovely" target="_blank">Instagram: @browneyelovely</a>) put together scrumptious looking meal... and this one won't break your new healthy eating resolution!<br />

<br />
First, gather your ingredients. You will need 2 eggs, one ripe avocado, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, bacon bits, and chives. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Start by slicing your avocado in two, long ways. Remove the pit and lay the avocados in a sturdy ramekin or cooking dish. Crack one egg into each avocado half and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Then move your prepped avocados into the oven for 15 minutes. Once the 15 minutes are up, pull them out of the oven, top with bacon and chives, and serve!<br />
