I'd never heard of Honest Beauty, but I liked their Instagram ad; It worked, so I tried their skin care trial.

Sometimes I’m really fit and I eat really well. Other times, I eat pizza every night for a week.
Green Thumb
I'm not sure what's come over me lately, but I can't stop crafting. Then, when I'm not crafting, I'm coloring. What can I say? I like being creative. And I guess it's better to craft while I binge Orange is the New Black than to eat everything in my apartment. But sometimes, I do that, … Continue reading Green Thumb
Do NOT Text Him #7
Go to the gym without your phone…remember that iPod mini you have? This one was a tough, since I no longer have a music-only device; I had to think outside the box. I actually like the idea of going just about anywhere and leaving my phone behind, but how am I supposed to work out … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #7
Do NOT Text Him #11
Go on a run…and get really toned. I highly encourage all of you text-fiends to make this the first thing on this list that you do. Go. Right now. Even if you hate running. Why? Two words: Bikini. Season. And what better way to get this loser’s attention (without texting him) than by looking drop-dead … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #11
Ice Cream Detox
My name is Marie Carlson, and I'm an ice cream addict. I'm not a terribly unhealthy person...since my experiment with vegetarianism, I've been paying extra attention to the nutrients I put into my body. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, I take my vitamins, and I try not to over-eat. So, why have … Continue reading Ice Cream Detox
Persevere
Today, I had one of those runs. You start out, wondering why you bothered to leave the house...and by the time you finish, you feel like you could conquer the world. It was hot and sunny and brutal but beautiful. And I was just in the mood to run today, in spite of the hear, … Continue reading Persevere
We’re All Mad Here
I realize there is a lot I blab about on this blog: everything from school (which isn't really applicable anymore) to interning, to jobs, to travel, to fitness, and health. It's a lot to keep track of, even for me. I'm not trying to be one of those "jack of all trades" types of blogs, … Continue reading We’re All Mad Here
Found my Zen
Once I stopped dancing and before I started running, I did a lot of yoga. Specifically, hot yoga. Since I've started running, I don't do as much yoga as I like. I usually consider it my "active recovery" day. But I tried out a new studio near my house on Saturday morning and fell in … Continue reading Found my Zen
Live Healthy, Feel Good
I started my day off right today: I went on a 7.5 mile run with my good friend, Dina. Even though I'm not pleased that it's mid-June in Chicago and it's rainy and cold (okay, cold by my new Texas standards, but cold!), it's perfect running weather. And I always find it easiest to do … Continue reading Live Healthy, Feel Good
Vegetarian Suggestions
Hey y'all (yes, that's my time in Texas rubbing off on me)! So as a new vegetarian, I've been trolling Pinterest for some good recipes. I want to make sure that I'm still getting all the protein, etc. I need to be healthy, but I'm sick of eating beans. Does anyone have any suggestions or … Continue reading Vegetarian Suggestions
