Hope you all are having an amazing Saturday morning! Did you know tonight is a full moon and lunar eclipse?! It's suppose to be beautiful so look up and make a wish tonight! I think my wish will be that I can eat dessert for breakfast everyday! Oh wait…that wish has already come true! Yaaay for Nice Cream! I'll have to keep thinking what I want my next wish to be! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously though I use to eat soooo much ice-cream growing up but then became lactose intolerant! I think my body just one day was like, "Uhhh you're done Coco!"…and then I cried! So, when I discovered nice cream it was like all was right in the world again! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my simple banana nice cream recipe which is the base to all my other variations I make. I've also included my strawberry nice cream recipes! I mixed the two for a yummy strawberry banana combo! You can eat this anytime of the day but I love having this for breakfast! It's completely all natural and filled with vitamins, minerals and keeps you full for hours! Make it for your kiddos and they will think they are having dessert for breakfast…little do they know it's all fruit and so healthy for them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Banana Nice Cream Recipe:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">6 frozen bananas</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">3 pitted dates</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">1/4 cup almond milk (or more until desired consistency)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Directions: Blend all ingredient in a food processor or high quality blender until you get creamy soft serve ice-cream consistency. Spoon into container and stick into freezer to harden for at least two hour to make "ice-cream scoops" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">*Coco tip- make sure your bananas are VERY ripe before you freeze them. The more ripe the sweeter the mixture!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Strawberry Nice Cream Recipe:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">3 frozen bananas</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">14 frozen strawberries</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">3 TB almond milk (or more until creamy consistency)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Directions: Blend all ingredients in food processor or high quality blender. Once all blended spoon into container and put in freezer to harden.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the mixtures have hardened you can remove from freezer and scoop! Serve both flavors in a cone or bowl and top with your favorite toppings or eat as is! If you don't want to make into scoops you don't have to freeze mixture and can eat right after blending! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you all have a beautiful day! Truly try incorporating this into your lifestyle! It is so healthy and really hits the spot when you are craving unhealthy sugary sweets! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know about ya all but one of the biggest things I struggle with in my life is balance! Trying to manage work, family, friends, kids, traveling, health, cleaning, laundry, cooking…k you get the picture! It can become very overwhelming real fast! I know that when I take the time to take care of myself I am becoming the best version of me and the best version for everyone else in my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really really have loved using Balance essential oil. Somedays I just want to dip my entire body in it! haha It has helped me so much with balancing out my hormones and helping me sleep! When I sleep it's like I'm reborn! When I don't…uhhh watch out! lol It also has helped me manage my stress and anxiety which then helps me feel more balanced and ready to take on the day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I apply balance to the inside of my wrists, back of my neck and bottom of my feet. If I have work off I really love using it in my diffuser at home! It is definitely a staple essential oil! I truly believe in natural healing! I use to take prescriptions for anxiety, stress and sleep and some are very unhealthy, can be addictive and have major side effects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so passionate about natural healing with essential oils because I have seen how much it has help me! I am sharing all my oil tips and plant based diet recipes to help anyone who might be struggling the way I did and wants to try a more natural and healthy approach. If I can help even one person it makes it all worth it! </div>

I have been lactose intolerant since 2005! Dairy is one of the hardest foods for the human body to digest! However, in the past creamy soup was always a comfort food for me! When I went into Aubergine the first time and realized they had a variety of creamy soups that were dairy free and made "creamy" using tofu and raw cashews I was in heaven! Truly never tasted soups so yummy! </div>

I might not dress granola but I definitely eat granola! Probably one of my top ten favorite foods! I just love that you can eat it as a snack or use as topping on acai, pitaya, smoothies or nice creams…. really the possibilities are endless! Like everything else Aubergine makes their granola in house using all natural ingredients! Sugar free and so nutritious! Filled with multi seed blend and gluten-free oats! Heaven!</div>

I might have become obsessed with Pitaya just because it's so pretty! haha Then I tasted it and my obsession turned into full blown true love! lol Their pitaya is raw and 100% pure. It's an amazing source of antioxidants, fiber and vitamins. Eating raw and clean is really so essential to strengthening the immune system and increasing energy! </div>

So, as I said before I brought a ton of cookies with me for my drive back down to Vegas and yes I ate them all! I have a serious sweet tooth and that is NEVER going to go away! You could say I'm somewhat of a dessert snob and I'm very picky about my desserts! A lot of "healthy" desserts are disgusting! (real talk) Lol! So, these cookies are one of my favorite finds! Pecan Date, Almond, Carob Chip…all amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Hump day peeps! Wanted to share with ya all one of my favorite oils! It's Wild Orange! There are so many ways to use this oil but I wanted to focus on using it when traveling! Flying and driving can be really draining and exhausting for the mind and body…especially when you are traveling a lot! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It just starts to wear you down! I know for me after awhile I just feel low energy, physically tired and become more prone to sickness. So I started taking Wild Oil with me during my travels and road trips and it has helped me so much! It really gives me added energy and revitalizes my mind and body! It also protects against harsh environmental and seasonal factors and has amazing immune enhancing benefits to fight off getting sick! Obsessed!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">Here is how I use Wild Orange:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">I add a drop of oil into my water (always drink a lot of water while traveling to decrease bloat and dehydration)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">Rub on inside of wrist </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">Add a drop to palms of hand and rub in. Bring palms up to face and cup over nose and inhale deeply three times! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have any questions about this oil and or oils you can email me at krissycoco@gmail.com</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, you can check out www.mydoterra.com/cocoandcoconuts for info on oils! For $35 a year you get all Doterra product at wholesale!! Woot Woot! Seriously amazing if you want to start incorporating natural healing into your everyday life! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My usual obsession of chocolate and peanut butter is taking a back set because I can't get enough of chocolate and coconut right now! (Sorry Peanut butter…I still love you) This nice cream is so delicious and easy to make and the best part is it's soooo good for you! Packed with super food nutrition. It's great for breakfast or really anytime of the day!</div>

I know how we should probably talk about how I need a manicure in a major way but there are more important things to talk about! Like cramps and bloating and serious PMS! We all know that time of the month can be no fun! I have always had very severe cramps and PMS every month since as long as I can remember. In high school I use to have to stay home from school every month for a couple days because I couldn't even get out of bed because my cramps were so bad! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when I started using Clarycalm I literally felt like I had found a miracle! I rub Clarycalm on my stomach and massage it around. It has helped so much with my cramps and PMS. I also layer my Clarycalm with Whisper to relax. Clarycalm works really well with heat! So, another great tip is to put a heating pad over your stomach once you apply your oils! I also take Lavender Epsom Salt Baths to help with bloating! It also keeps me calm and helps with my mood and sleep.</div>

Hey ya all! If you don't already know that I'm a skincare and makeup junkie you will after this post! I've had my esthetician license for over ten years and have tried everything! I also was the cosmetic manager at Nordstrom so I love makeup too! My favorite skincare is Obagi which I get at <a href="http://www.elase.com/utah">Elase Medical Spa</a>! I did a post that you can click on under beauty to see my full skincare regime! Before applying makeup you want to make sure you are first taking care of your skin and cleansing it and using products that will work with your makeup to get the best results out of your makeup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it comes to makeup I really am pretty basic! I like my makeup to look natural and fresh and that is pretty much how I do my makeup everyday. I personally feel that makeup should enhance your own beauty instead of covering it up completely! If I'm going to an event or out for the night I love doing a smokey eye or more dramatic lip color and extra coverage so my makeup lasts longer but other than that I keep it pretty basic and fresh looking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I truly have tried every makeup company and product out there! Everything from products at the grocery store to Dior! I love find new products but I wanted to share with you the products that I have used for years and years that are my staples every single day! I have been using Jane Iredale forever! I found it when I was working for a plastic surgeon and he carried the brand. Since the day I got my first pressed powder compact I was hooked! I honestly can't live without it! If I'm needing a little glow I use their face tanner...it's the only one I have ever found that I like. If I want extra coverage I use their foundation and then I will apply the powder to set everything. I have their bronzer and a few different blushes as well. Their brushes, eyeshadows and lip glosses are the bomb! My new favorite find from Jane Iredale is the Bitty Brow Kit! I'm obsessed! It's so easy to use and you get a professional looking eyebrow without having to go in every few weeks! Definitely a Coco's fave! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you all enjoy my favorites as much as I do! You can order <a href="http://www.dermstore.com/profile_jane+iredale_100098.htm?gclid=Cj0KEQiA8rilBRDZu_G8hszXraoBEiQABlB9YylpLAVD9giYyvhjhgo5KqBCcwqXF-kxkAeRiBPXOS0aAvVA8P8HAQ">Jane Iredale</a> online or I usually can find it at spas, salons or doctors offices. I get mine at <a href="http://www.aesthetic.com/">Aesthetica</a> in Lindon or <a href="http://www.suggestionssalon.blogspot.com/">Suggestions Salon</a> in Orem. And like I always say true beauty begins within and a little makeup just brings out your own unique lovely self! Hope you all have an amazing day! </div>

Hello hello! Hope you all are having a good day and a good start to the new year! I don't know about you but I love making new years resolutions! I use to make waaaaay to many goals and most of them were just unrealistic and therefore I just became overwhelmed and ended up not do any them! The last couple years I decided to make fewer goals in the areas of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual improvement. I feel when I do this I don't feel so overwhelmed and I actually accomplish my goals!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I already started the new year off with a 3 day juice cleanse from Ivie Juice Bar which I loved! I feel clean and detoxed with tons of energy! One of my other new years resolutions has been to change up my workout routine. I have been doing the same thing for years and it's time to mix things up! I always find working out is easier and more fun when you bring a friend along! Especially on those days you don't want to get your bum out of bed you have a person to push you and vice versa!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my bestie SaraJane from <a href="http://www.burnitbeauty.com/">www.burnitbeauty.com</a> came up with a really easy but effective workout plan for us to do! We workout together 4 days a week. 2 days we focus on strength by doing light weights one day and yoga for the other. Then the other two days we focus on cardio by doing a fun aerobics class or stairstepper! The time flies when you are working out with a friend! And since your body has muscle memory it's always a good idea to change up your workout to get better results! </div>

We both love working out in our <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1204484701/georgie-wear">Georgie Wear</a> outfits or wearing them after when we head to get a smoothie, juice to replenish our bodies! They are so comfy to workout in and so cute to run all our errands in after! Check out their site for all their different styles! I always feel when I am wearing cute stuff to workout in it just gives me even more motivation to keep up with my workout goals! Hope you all have an amazing day! :)</div>

Oh heeeeey!! So, the last six weeks have been a tiny bit crazy! Somehow I managed to get my wallet, cell phone, credit cards, driver license, and the only key to my car stolen! Then the next day I went to get on my blog and it had disappeared too! I have realized it's probably not the beeeest idea to put anything in your boyfriends name because sometimes boyfriends turn into ex boyfriends who get blocked for time and all eternity and then you don't get emails telling you to renew your website! I guess you live and learn right?! And then try not to have a nervous breakdown in the process! ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But since the universe decided I needed a good cleanse of everything I owned in my life (not laughing universe;) I decided to go with the flow and do a little cleansing of my own! I love making New Years resolutions and health is always a high priority on my list! I really strive to better myself emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. I decided I wanted to start off 2015 with a 3 day juice cleanse from Ivie Juice Bar. I love supporting local places and I love this new juice bar and all their healthy juices and smoothies! The 3 day cleanse is absolutely amazing! Nothing makes me feel more fresh, clean and clear than a cleanse! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have never done a juice cleanse before it can seem a little scary! I know when I did my first cleanse I was a little apprehensive not knowing what to expect. I love that the 3 day cleanse takes all the guess work and worry away! You get 6 juices each day for three days that are filled with fruits and veggies that contain vitamins, minerals and dense nutrients to help flush toxins out of your body and fill it with all the good stuff at the same time! There is nothing better than feeling healthy and full of energy after completing a cleanse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always like doing a cleanse with someone! I personally think it makes it easier and more fun! So of course I talked my mom, brother and best friend into doing the cleanse with me! It wasn't very hard to convince them since they all wanted to start the new year off with a bang! It was so fun being on group text and having the support and sharing the experience together! Right now is the perfect time to reboot your body with your besties! Use code NEWYOU and order two cleanses and get the third 50% off at Ivie Juice Bar! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't weigh myself so I'm not exactly sure how much weight I lost but that wasn't my intention. My goal was to feel healthier because I have realized that is what makes me happy...not a number on a scale. My friend, brother and mom all lost weight though and we all feel amazing and are ready to welcome 2015 and whatever it has in store for us...hopefully not losing anymore blogs or bags anytime soon! Hope you all have a fabulous day! </div>

For colder weather I would style this dress with some over the knee socks and over the knee boots, scarf and a bright wool coat! For warmer weather I would wear this dress just with some cute booties and a colored clutch and accessories! I'm loving emerald green right now as an accent color! Check out my instagram @ms_krissycoco to see how I keep styling one of my seasons favorites! </div>

How cute is this GIRL BOSS tee from <a href="http://stylelately.com/"><span style="color: red;">Style Lately</span></a>?! Ummm, sooo cute! I have been living in printed tees, plaids and comfy pants lately cuz I'm the boss and can wear what I want! ;) This girl boss has had a lot of major changes happen over the last few years and the last few months. Some days I feel so alive like there are thousands of bright stars burning inside me. Other days I feel so small like every atom of my being could slip through space without anyone even noticing. Sometimes I feel so strong I think I could hold the entire planet together and then there are those nights I'm as fragile as a paper doll...carefully and purposely crafted yet so easy to tear apart. What I've realized is that it's ALL okay! Being a girl boss means embracing every single piece of you! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think there comes a point in everyones life when you truly become your own "GIRL BOSS" You become fearless. It's not that the fears go away but you stop being afraid of them and giving them power. You become fierce, no longer scared of failing or falling or of life itself. You finally start living YOUR life. This may happen at a different age for every woman but I know it's happened to me. </div>

I literally can say I do not care what anyone thinks or says about me. This might sound harsh but it's actually the opposite. To love yourself and be yourself is brave and bold and so boss! This is kinda a big deal for a former miss people pleaser! Doing, acting, saying and being whatever anyone and everyone wanted me to be. I barely even remember that girl now...it feels like a lifetime ago and sometimes seems like it wasn't even me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps when this happens we realize life isn't about getting approval, money, security, or even love but to live this life in our own deeply unique, authentic, real way which can be done however we want! The point is to have the courage and strength to be your own "GIRL BOSS" in your life! Hope you all have an amazing day! </div>

TGIF everyone! First off let me apologize for the scary Selfie! I honestly am trying not to burst out laughing! I am the worst selfie taker of all time but wanted to show you my top knot bun! It has saved me on many many days when I just don't feel like washing my hair or styling my hair. This is the perfect hair style to give your hair a break because this bun actually works better when your hair hasn't been washed for a couple days! Yaaay! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing I love most about buns is you can make it as causal or as fancy as you want! It seriously takes no time at all but if you wear this hairdo with a fancy outfit you seriously could look like you're ready for the Oscars! So, even though this is the easiest hair style ever and your hair can be dirty and gross nobody will know! I posted my favorite tutorial from Nicole...it's exactly how I do my bun! I love how she shows a couple different styles and also shows how to do buns if you have extensions! A ton of people I am friends with have extensions and I have them on and off so it shows both ways! Hope you all have an amazing weekend and whether you're staying inside or going out try a bun for fun! I promise you'll be obsessed! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I have two problems...well I actually have like 99 but let's just talk about two today!:) I hate water and I never get thirsty. I know hate is a strong word but for some reason I have just always hated the taste of water. I also rarely get thirsty which is so weird because I've always had a very active lifestyle! I don't drink soda or really anything so basically I have been permanently dehydrated my entire life without realizing it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom always said half my health problems would go away if I started drinking water...but who listens to their moms?! I didn't! Years later I have finally come to realize she was totally right! Shhhh...don't tell her I said that! Our secret! ;) <b>Did you know that the number one cause of daytime fatigue is lack of WATER!!!!</b> While lack of sleep, lack of food or even overeating can cause daytime fatigue the number one cause is lack of water intake! That little piece of info blew my mind! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe some of you are like thanks Coco I've known that for years but water intake doesn't just effect your energy levels. It basically effects everything from your skin to food digestion, absorption, circulation, transportation of nutrients and body temperature...and I'm literally naming just a few! I eat very healthy and eat foods that are medicine for my body. I had no idea water was basically a nutrient in liquid form.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here are just a couple Coco tips I have learned the hard way that I want to share with you! If you exercise a lot you are losing fluid. Active people need to actually drink way more water than recommended to compensate for fluid lost by sweating. Water also keeps your skin looking good! Dehydration makes your skin look dry, wrinkled and crappy! But it can be improved with hydration. Water also helps your kidneys by transporting toxins and waste products <i>out</i> of your body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Water also helps maintain normal bowel movements. I'm sorry but constipation is the worst!!! I"ve struggled with it my entire life! TMI? Just trying to help people! #realtalk So, all this info is pointless unless you actually start drinking water! I don't know if I will ever like water so here are some ideas I do to get my water intake daily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am obsessed with fruit! Like I literally LOVE it! So why not put something sweet, healthy and nutritious into my water to make it taste better?! I love any fruit in my water! Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and mint (which has antiseptic properties) make my water oh so sweet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are a lot of things people don't love doing but we just sometimes have to do it! I wake up every morning and the<b> first</b> thing I do is drink 20 ounces of water. I have just realized I have to make it a priority in my life. I know if I can drink water right away I will be more aware to drink more water throughout the day. I also carry a water bottle in my car. The constant visual is a reminder to keep drinking all day. I also eat a TON of fruits and veggies because they have such a high water content! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't even describe to you the difference I feel physically, emotionally and mentally since I started drinking water. I literally feel it's a miracle! Better than any vitamin or food! My skin has started glowing, I have sooooo much more energy, I crave less sugar, and my body is starting to work as it should! If you already love water still try adding some fruit for extra nutrients! It's so yummy and fun to switch it up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ps...I used artificial flavoring for a long time and I don't recommend it for the long haul. I read up on the side effects and I literally had every single one and felt like crap. I will do another post on my findings and own experience using artificial sweeteners! Happy hump day ya all! Go get your drink on! </div>

I honestly don't think there is anything better than Autumn...except for maybe this vest! I'm gonna call it a tie since I don't like to play favorites. Seriously though could this season and vest be any more perfect?! I love everything about this time of year! I love the smell in the air, the changing leaves, the hot chai and of course the wardrobe! I love getting to pull out all my boots, booties, scarfs and all the fun fall accessories that come with this season. It's basically the only thing that keeps me sane since I know winter is right around the corner! (This girl does not like the cold!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I saw this vest from <a href="http://www.recycledconsignanddesign.com/"><span style="color: red;">Recycled Design</span></a> I knew I had to add it to my staple fall attire! It's is soooo comfy and I love mixing it with different items to create totally different looks! It is the perfect fall staple and I seriously feel I could wear it everyday...which I do! Is it just me or do you guys also have a closet full of clothes but seem to wear like a variation of the same stuff daily?! Maybe it's just me but I definitely have my favorite items...so I guess I do play favorites after all! Haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
K so if you guys haven't checked out <a href="http://www.recycledconsignanddesign.com/"><span style="color: red;">Recycled Design</span></a> it's time you do! I'm kind of obsessed with their store, their website, everything they carry and they just got a bunch of new stuff in!

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GagStn0N4kc/VEnEeEKYiwI/AAAAAAAAC_c/Ac2lmKX0fec/s1600/IMG_9417.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GagStn0N4kc/VEnEeEKYiwI/AAAAAAAAC_c/Ac2lmKX0fec/s1600/IMG_9417.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a story that I've never really told. I really never talk about when I was married or the experiences I went through. Most of my best friends and even my family don't even know a lot of the details of what happened. It was really hard and painful and not something I love to chat about. I just feel with everyone desperately trying to portray these picture perfect lives I want to share with you my perfectly <i>imperfect</i> life and let everyone know it's totally ok if your happily ever after is crumbling or looks a little (or a lot) different than you pictured! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know that when I got married (at nineteen) yikes! I thought it was the start of my happily ever after. I had just married my prince charming and knew my fairy tale life was just beginning and would never end! I truly married the man of my dreams. I couldn't have created a more perfect man for me. I still remember the day I met him. It was my first semester of my freshman year in college. I was walking home from class when I saw him. He started talking to me but I didn't hear a word he said. I looked into his eyes and I forgot everything. I forgot I had a missionary I was in love with. I forgot where I was. I forgot my name. I forgot everything but found everything at the same time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It all sounds so lovely...and it was for awhile. We had the perfect courtship. I was so in love with him. Everyone that knew him LOVED him! I loved his family and my family was obsessed with him! He was charming, gorgeous, smart, sweet, romantic, caring, funny, athletic, adventurous and everything I ever wanted in a man and more. I felt so safe and he literally just adored me. I had never felt that way before from a man. Even after everything that happened I still have never connected with someone on that level. He treated me like gold. I think that's what made everything so hard. Not knowing what was real and what wasn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But everyone thought we were the perfect couple. People use to call us Ken and Barbie. From the outside everything looked perfect. But what everyone didn't know was my perfect prince charming was a drug addict. I know this isn't a huge shocker these days. I hear about it all the time. But when I found out he was a drug addict a year into our marriage at the age of twenty I was not mentally or emotionally prepared to deal with it..not even close! I had never in my life heard of someone being addicted to prescription drugs. A drug addict was a homeless person doing cocaine living in Compton! Not a good ol' Mormon boy from the suburbs of Utah from the perfect Mormon family. I can't even describe to you how I felt when I found out. There are no words. Just no words. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next five years were so hard. Most people would have peaced out but I'm not the type to give up on anything or anyone, especially the person I loved the most in my life. I always thought he would get better. I truly believed I could fix him. I thought if I made everything look perfect, became perfect and made his life perfect that he would get better. Nobody knew this was going on. Nobody knew I was dying inside and felt so alone. Everyday I was lied too and everyday I had to lie to everyone. Everyday he lived a double life and everyday I had to live a double life covering up his secret. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The drugs weren't the worst part. I think the part that was the most painful was being lied too and watching helplessly as the person I loved and committed my life too destroy themselves right in front of my face. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. After supporting my husband through rehab, lies, cheating and things that are so awful to share...he left ME! I remembering feeling like I was physically dying but somehow I was still breathing. I remember feeling my heart break into a million little pieces but somehow it was still beating. It didn't make sense.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My life turned completely upside down. I literally went from living in my dream house that I had built from the ground up, being on infertility treatments because I couldn't get pregnant, thinking my husband was clean to the next day him saying he didn't want to be married and he left...and I never saw him again. Literally.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will spare you the horrifying details that happened on and off during those years and things I found out after. When you go through something so traumatizing and traumatic as that you either crumble and die or somehow survive. I crumbled for awhile. I couldn't function. I couldn't get out of bed. I didn't want to live but somehow I pulled through piece by piece...day by day. It's taken me years but I'm finally realizing it had nothing to do with me. I thought for years it was me. It really ruined my self esteem and I just felt worthless. I became so afraid of love and loving anyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so grateful for my real friends and family that have supported me through my trials. I don't think I could have made it without them. I am so grateful for my brother who was living in California and left his full ride scholarship to come live with me and get me through. He will forever be my angel. And I just want to tell everybody that nobody has the perfect life. For six years people thought MY life was perfect and look what I was going through! You NEVER know what people are going through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm grateful for my friends and people in my life that uplift, support and love me because even as I write this I am struggling with things. I feel we all need to support each other and lift each other up instead of tearing each other down! Life is hard enough and everyone is fighting a battle. I started this blog to share my passions and one of my passions is living an authentic REAL life! After having to live a secret life for so long I can't handle any more fake! Life is seriously way to short for that crap! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I guess the point of this story and why I finally shared a piece of my life that was painful and awful is because I want people to realize it's freaking ok if your life isn't perfect! STOP comparing yourself to other people that you think might have it all. I shared this because I feel it's NEVER to late to start your happily ever after. You might have to change your story of what that looks like but it's never to late to live, be, achieve, become and experience the life you have always wanted and dreamed of! Whatever trials you might be going through I now see as gifts for my own personal learning and growth. I would not be the person I am today if I hadn't of gone through what I did. I can look back and feel grateful because I feel stronger, more compassionate, understanding and a heck of a lot less judge mental of people with problems! So, get going because your happily ever after starts now! </div>

Hi! My name is Krissy and I am a hair addict! I'm also a shoe addict..but that's for another post!;) I was totally raised Dolly Parton style...the bigger and fuller the hair the better! Some people are into eyelash extensions or acrylic nails...I'm all about hair! I have had extensions on and off for literally the last ten years! I've tried them all! I have a love/hate relationship with them. I started wearing them for length but then I had to keep wearing them because they ALL damage your hair to some extent. It's almost like once you start you can't stop! I really do sound like an addict but it's true!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, when I got my extensions taken out a couple months ago and saw that literally <b>half</b> my hair was gone I nearly had an out of body experience! (not really...but kinda) I seriously couldn't believe how damaged my hair had gotten. I knew I had to take a break from extensions and give my hair some much needed TLC & therapy! You're probably wondering why there is a picture of avocados when I'm talking about hair! Well, being an esthetician and health freak I knew I needed to start from the inside out! True beauty begins within! If you're trying to grow, thicken or just even want to get your hair healthier scroll down to see what I have been doing the last couple months to repair my hair! It's a combination of what I put on my hair, eat and supplements I'm taking! There might be a few things that will surprise you! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">AVOCADOS</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's start with one of my favorites! I love avocados so much I might name my first child after them...and then my child would hate me so maybe not! I <b>eat </b>an avocado EVERY SINGLE DAY! Avocados are packed with rich nutrients, vitamin C and E and healthy fats that keep you healthy, make your skin glow, soft and hydrated AND they are magic for your hair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Due to their high concentration of essential fatty acids naturally found in skin cells (which helps to keep your skin smooth and supple). When <b>TOPICALLY</b> applied to the hair and scalp, they have the added ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what I do! Mix avocado with a little sour cream (which contains lactic acid to help exfoliate dead skin and clean up buildup on the scalp) and apply to your hair and scalp for ten minutes before washing off. I have been doing this twice a week and noticed dramatic results in the last few months!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">ALMONDS</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These nuts will make your hair grow faster, stronger and thicker due to their high biotin content! One cup contains nearly 1/3 of your daily requirement. You should be able to see the results in a month or two of adding them into your diet. Check out my recipe link for my energy bites recipe that are packed with almonds! Great way to add almonds to your diet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">SWEET POTATOES</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sweet potatoes are also one of my favorite foods. They are loaded with beta carotene and not only do they promote a healthy scalp, they also promote hair growth! Yaay! I try and get my nutrients through food as much as possible because eating whole foods will increase your entire overall health but you can also get a Beta Carotene supplement if you don't like sweet potatoes! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">SUNFLOWER SEEDS</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've added a handful of seeds to my daily diet! Filled with an abundant supply of Vitamin E they promote faster hair growth! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">YELLOW PEPPERS</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually don't really like yellow peppers but my desire to restore my hair trumps the fact I don't love them! I added them to my diet because they are so healthy in general for your body! They have FIVE times more Vitamin C than oranges! (Sorry oranges the secret is out!) This is good news for your locks because Vitamin C is an antioxidant that strengthens the hair shaft and hair follicles, as well as prevents damage...how could I not eat them after finding all this out! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">IRON </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of thinning hair in otherwise healthy women. Every month when you have your period you lose iron (thanks, Mother Nature!) To keep your hair thick, strong, and healthy, try to eat more iron rich foods like leafy green vegetables. I eat a ton of veggies but I also take an Iron Supplement as well. I take more during my cycle since I know I will be even more deficient!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">BIOTIN</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I take a biotin supplement of 5000mg every single day! It helps grow thicker, healthier and stronger hair (and nails!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I am Vegan so I don't eat meat or dairy but salmon, oysters and eggs also promote hair health! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Later this week I will take about all the products I use from Shampoo to curling irons! This is a lot of information and I wanted to first talk about repairing your hair from within. It won't just make your hair healthier it will make you're mind and body healthier as well! And who doesn't want that?! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ps...I had to post this! I'm obsessed with Dolly! I laugh so hard every time I read this! I hear ya Dolly! Get those people out! Hahaha Hope you all have an amazing day! :)</div>

I have a little confession to make. I may or may not have stayed in my pajamas for half the day today! But I made up for the other half of the day by wearing my new favorite top from Urban Outfitters. I love how flannel is everywhere this season! It's so comfy, cozy and fun to mix with other patterns and fabrics! I fell in love with this flannel top when I saw the lace detail on the bottom...giving it a little feminine pop! I paired mine with my favorite skinny jeans and over the knee boots from my main man Mr. Michael Kors for the perfect Autumn outfit! Well, I'm headed out for some grub and to see the production Thriller! One of my favorite Halloween traditions! Hope you all have a great day/night too! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

PS...if it's still a little warm where you live style this adorable lace flannel shirt with some ripped boyfriend jean shorts, booties, hat and other fun accessories I found! All items pictured below! </div>

Hey friends! It's a beautiful day here in Utah and I'm soaking in every last minute of sunshine and semi warm weather before it gets cold!

I love dresses and I love wearing them all year long! I don't let living in a place that is cold in the fall and winter stop me! I start in the fall and layer my dresses with cardigans and booties! There are SO many cute ones available and they are so versatile. When it starts getting a little colder I add leggings, tall boots, scarfs etc... It's really fun taking you favorite items and transforming them into different looks for the seasons! </div>

I'm seriously speechless about these pants! (And that rarely happens!;) The material is HEAVEN people! I'm pictured wearing them casual here but you seriously could totally dress them up! Personally I would style up these pants with some cute booties, a basic tee and a long slouchy cardigan! Accessorize with layers of gold jewelry, a fun hat and handbag to top it all off!</div>

I love this quote so much and I'll tell you why. Nobody on this earth is perfect. Nobody. I truly believe it is great to strive for growth, progression and bettering yourself but you don't need to be perfect to do that. I know in my own life I am mainly inspired by people who are no where close to being perfect! I'm inspired by people who have been dealt the difficult hand in life. The people who have gone through major struggles, issues and painful experiences and are brave enough to talk about it and share their REAL life with others. I am grateful for these people because they have helped me realize it's ok not to be perfect! If we use these "imperfections" to learn, grow and help others that is what is beautiful and inspiring to your own soul and other people! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel it's human nature though to want to portray an ideal image of perfection and a perfect life. I live in a culture where I think it's even worse than the norm! It's even harder when you go on social media and see everyone's "perfect" lives posted daily. I've had so many friends tell me they have gone off social media because it makes them feel bad about their own "not so perfect lifes" and I totally get it! When you are looking at perfect bodies, hair, flawless skin, perfect homes, perfect families, perfect jobs, perfect everything, it's hard not to compare....and then despair!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I just want to say you don't have to try so hard to be perfect! Nobody you see that seems like they have it all together does. Most people are fighting battles that we just don't know about. Once you realize YOU are perfectly imperfect, once you become your own best friend the world starts looking and feeling a whole lot better! I love this song I posted below because it speaks to my heart! It inspires me and says what I've been rambling about in this post! I hope you all listen to this song and have a beautiful day! </div>

I've been Lactose Intolerant for over ten years now. I was never a big cheese or milk drinker but I had a slight obsession with ice-cream! So when I discovered all these "nicecream" recipes I felt like I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...however that would be way cooler but you get what I mean! This bowl of heaven is literally frozen bananas, frozen peaches and some water! It tastes like a creamy peach shake! I want to share the recipe with you as well as some of the nutritional benefits that bananas and peaches possess so scroll down for more info!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bananas </b>provide several key nutrients for everyday health! (And that is why I eat them everyday!) They are low in calories...providing about 90 calories for a 6 inch banana. They are high in Fiber, Potassium, Vitamin B, and Vitamin C. Potassium is an electrolyte, meaning it helps conduct electricity throughout your body when absorbed. This probably doesn't sound that important but electrolytes sustain a balance of fluid and is an imperative process to the body. Keeping the heart beating and muscles moving. Also, bananas are filled with fiber! Everyone kept telling me stay away from bananas they bloat you and constipate you...SO FALSE!! Each 6 inch bananas has 3 grams of insoluble fiber. This is the type of fiber that pushes out waste and makes your stool easier to pass. Ok so I'm getting to the best part! Bananas have small amounts of great vitamins like folate, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin but they have tons of Vitamin B!!! Vitamin B is every girls best friend...or should be! When you are deficient in Vitamin B you will feel like death! I'm not joking...I've experienced it! Also Vitamin C is just one of my all time faves! Yes I have a favorite Vitamin! haha It is such an amazing antioxidant and helps with damaging free radicals that destroy healthy cells. It's also amazing for the skin! So that's some banana nana info for ya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Peaches </b>are delicious and also low in calories (you don't even have to count calories when you eat whole but I know a lot of people are calorie counters) Moderate source of antioxidant, vitamin C, A, B-Caroten (helps with vision and skin) Also contain many vital minerals such as Potassium, fluoride and iron. (Iron is required for red blood cell formation) also helps with bones and teeth, regulate the heart rate and blood pressure! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Cocos Skin Tip! </span>Peaches also contain flavonoid poly phenolic antioxidants such as lutein etc... These compounds help act as protectors agains free radicals and reactive oxygen that play a role in aging and various disease processes! Awesome! </div>

<span style="color: red;">2 Frozen bananas</span></div>

<span style="color: red;">1 frozen peach</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">add water or almond milk until arrive at desired consistency</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Sprinkle with coconut sugar (optional)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coco Tip* You really need a food processor or Vita Mixer for these frozen fruits to blend into a creamy mixture. If you don't have one they are worth the investment for your health and to make these recipes delicious!<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a happy and healthy day! :)<br />
