we live in an amazing area of Chicago that is the perfect mix of the city, but having the amazing young family feel. everyone jokes that it’s puppy or stroller required to live here. when we bought our place, I said there was no way I was moving out of the apartment I had been in for 5 years unless it was to somewhere still in this neighborhood, and luckily we found our current place one block away.
the last two weeks, bad things have been happening. cars being broken into, cars being stolen, people being robbed. one of my best friends that lives up the street witnessed two of the thefts from her porch and called the police. it’s just been REALLY messing with me. I know we live in a city and bad stuff happens all the time, but there were a few days in a row with things happening, with one happening in the same spot we were just two or three hours prior as we walked home from our friends place.
there’s no point in this really, but it sucks that in this amazing place we live, I am fearful to be walking alone at night. there has been tons of communication with the police and everything, so hopefully it will all get better soon. and luckily my mother nance-pants raised me to be paranoid as a lunatic, so this southern girl has got plenty of city spunk in her. and eyeballs in every direction with keys at the ready!
sorry for the F bomb, every single good one had it spelled out.
what is the world coming to that they can’t just put $^@( or F

I had nothing to watch Sunday, because I put a serious dent in my DVR Friday night when I stayed in, so I perused my pal Netflix. I had never seen Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, the documentary about juicing and health and wellness.
I don’t like to watch any of the Food related documentaries, because yes it may be ignorant, but I prefer NOT to know everything about the food I am eating. I will always want to eat things that are bad for me every weekend on occasion. What can I say, ignorance is bliss!
But this documentary was so, so good. (I know I’m way behind this was released years and years ago). I cried for the man that did the cleanse with Joe at the end. It really was inspiring.
That being said, I will never be able to do what they did, and have no desire to. Like, when did chewing become a crime?
I DO however feel like drinking a big green juice in the morning would be something I would love to incorporate. It looks like A LOT of work to get one darn glass of green juice though! Do any of you juice? Thoughts or tips?

every year, I get excited for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
I don’t know why, but I love it.
They are filming it this week, and then I think it usually airs the first week of December.
They released Videos of what it takes to make it through the auditions to be an Angel and the making of the show and all that jazz.
for those interested, check the videos out on youtube!
and Gigi Hadid is in the show this year so theres a full housewife connection!
I can just hear her now from that scene at her party at Mohammed’s house when she goes to eat some of her cake… “Just one small bite. One bite.”
I can just hear her now from that scene at her party at Mohammed’s house when she goes to eat some of her cake… “Just one small bite. One bite.”
or when she was cleansing and felt faint and Yolanda said “perhaps a few bites of celery….”
Fat sick and nearly dead is the one documentary I recommend to everyone and the reason we got a juicer lol! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
I have one in my Amazon cart just waiting to pull the trigger!!
VS show is December 8 – not that I'm excited or anything. My hubs thinks it's the craziest thing, how much I (and every other girl I know) love this lol. We whine the whole time (and wine, duh) and constantly say we should do sit-ups in the commercials … and never do b/c, again, wine …
YESSS thanks for letting me know 🙂 I know right? Somehow I'm always eating drinking or eating during it!
My husband and I just got the NutriBullet Pro. It works like a dream! Comes with recipes of juices to make. We used a juicer before and it was way too much work. If you're interested in juicing go buy one now! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT and feel great after drinking one.
Oh my gosh thank you so much for letting me know I wouldn't have thought about the Nutribullet for Juicing but just for Smoothies. Does it get a lot of pulp because it doesn't have one of the ejector container things?!
