When I outlined who was a part of the behind-the-scenes magic of Petit Elefant a little while ago, I neglected to mention our resident nutritionist. What’s wrong with me? {don’t answer that} I don’t know. Rachele Foushee-Beck is a nutritionist who’s been with Petit Elefant since April, sharing all kinds of really relevant nutrition information for women. She posts once-a-month on nutrition and you don’t want to miss it, her tips are fantastic. So my bad, I actually have 3…

I’m officially convinced anyone can wear skinny jeans. I mean if I can wear them, anyone can. I’m a size 12 curvy girl and skinny jeans look pretty foxy on me, flattering even. I’ve tried on a lot of skinny jeans in my time and the only ones, the ONLY ones that look good on me are Lands’ End UltraFit Audrey Slims. They are worth every penny {$59.50} because they make me feel like a rock star. You be the…

Remember when I talked about the gorgeous boots I found at a thrift store in the East Village in NYC a couple weeks ago? Here they are in all their glory: The best part is that these beauties set me back a grand total of $15. They’re Nine West, blue suede boots. Swoon. It’s hard for me to find a pair of Nine West shoes I don’t love. Nine times out of ten when I’m shoe shopping and I pick…

I love Fall. I really do.
Have you heard of piper & chloe? This is for the Utah peeps who love handmade boutiques this time of year, to beef up on a little holiday shopping. Twice a year a group of five sisters gathers together to host a boutique filled to the brim with modern, hip vendors displayed like an Anthropologie store. It’s a shopping *experience* you won’t want to miss. Head to Farmington {it’s only 15 minutes north of SLC} November 6th & 7th to…

Allison is not the only one with cute kids and a love of Disneyland! I didn’t enter the contest, so I’m not in the running, but I was feeling just a little left out. So here’s my pictorial 2 cents, in the form of a last-minute, hand-me-down Halloween costume from last year: He was overcome with joy at the sight of his “Woody” costume, giggling as he put it on until tears ran down his face and he couldn’t breathe….

Go ahead, judge away. GLEE is the best thing on TV right now and I for one, just can’t get enough {thanks to all my twitter friends for the recommendation}. Here’s a little something to make your weekend that much happier. It just makes me want to get up and dance. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx9tX1RTNiM]
About this time of year, when things get really cold, I start spending a lot of time in the bath. A lot of time. At some point last winter, I realized I feel much better if I add Epsom Salt to the water every time I hop in the bath. It’s a wonderful anti-inflammatory, in addition to having a whole host of other benefits. Plus, it’s super cheap; I’ve been buying it in bulk at the dollar store. Here’s what…

After I whined the other day about not being able to make it to Disney in time to attend the VIP event I was entering to win, Viktor said: *I don’t have to be there you know. Go to Disneyland without me.* The thought never even occurred to me, but he planted it in my head so I guess it’s okay. I entered on his prompting and guess what? I’m a finalist! This is the part where I blatantly beg,…
