{Food For Thought Tuesday: When We Eat Matters}

I've been talking a lot about clean eating, what to eat, what not to eat - which is all extremely important, but another key component to healthy living and eating is when we actually eat. I came across the site Massive Health over the weekend and I thought I would share a little bit  of what I found, but encourage you to also check out the site.when we eat matters Do you eat breakfast? What do you have? For the last several months I've been eating a greek yogurt, with fresh fruit, and 2 tbs. of healthy granola. While I understand the importance of switching things up, during the week - this is my go to breakfast. The important point is that I'm eating breakfast because those that don't tend to eat more throughout the day:when we eat matters - breakfast Usually during the week, I stick to a healthy and clean eating plan - and it's easy because I have the same daily routine. However, on Saturday's I allow it to be my cheat day because if I constantly deprive myself of what I really want, I will fall off the bandwagon and quickly find myself in the black hole of bad choices and overeating. My problem is sometimes my cheat Saturday also becomes a cheat Sunday and I really need to get this in order, as it's another slippery slope. It's true - the weekends are bad for our eating health:when we eat matters - weekends Just a little food for thought...Jessica Signature

{I'm Really Just a T-Shirt and Pajama Pants Girl}

Despite what you typically see me wearing, and what I usually blog and pin about wanting in my closet - I really am just a t-shirt and pajama pants girl. If I could get away with wearing this outfit everyday - I totally would. However, since I can't, I've come up with an outfit that incorporates my love of graphic t-shirts, boyfriend jeans (while they aren't as comfortable and pajama pants, they're next in line), and a great pair of shoes. Check it out: Graphic t shirts {Click to shop: Jacket/Jeans/Zara Heels, Mid-West Tee, Script Ohio Tee, Glasses, Converse} Jessica Signature

{The Beauty and Curse of Pinterest}

I'm OBSESSED with Pinterest {who isn't?} but the one thing that drives me crazy is when you lock your eyes on something and say "I don't care how much it is, I'm buying it" all to end up not finding where you can purchase it from. That's exactly how I feel about these four pairs of shoes below. I honestly don't care how much they are, and I honestly don't care that I'm on a spending strike, if I could find these shoes in my size (8.5) ...I would buy them with the quickness. If by chance you come across where to find them - please leave a comment!Pinterest shoes {*Update I found the peep toe pump....at $560 - maybe I do care how much they are, yikes! The leopard shoes are Alexandar Wang, just can't find them anywhere. I repinned the grey strappy heels a while ago but can't find the source. The brown strappy sandals source is officially m.i.a. - HELP!}Jessica Signature
