#trending overalls

You need these Topshop overalls. They are 70 bucks on Nordstrom (with free shipping).

When we wear overalls, we are reminded of our favorite star Jennifer Aniston, when she rocked denim onscreen in Friends.  We achieve a 90s vintage vibe, while also borrowing some style advice from…farmers?

More importantly, we join a long list of celebs who rock overalls and look amazing. Overalls are a funky addition to your summer wardrobe. They look cool paired with a striped T-shirt and flip flops. If you want to show a little skin, pair your overalls with a tank or bandeau. Overalls are also guaranteed to make a great July 4th ensemble. And don’t forget, they double as next year’s Halloween costume.

#trending NUfit

It’s gonna be a long, hot summer, so why not sweat every day? Super hot fitness guru Natalie Uhling makes this her her mantra: Sweat every day, no matter what. 

Uhling developed NUfit– a high intensity exercise program that fuses kick boxing, hip hop, and toning into one killer workout. Her revolutionary program has made her pretty famous. Sponsored by Under Armour, she is also a model, brand influencer and graduate of New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology.  You might spot her on Instagram, or while flipping through the pages of Time, Fitness, and Women’s Health magazines. NUfit classes are taught in New York City at Pearl Studios and are guaranteed to kick your ass.

Even if you don’t find yourself in NYC, or can’t dish out $30 for a single session, you can get inspired by Uhling. “Natalie doesn’t just push the limits, she redefines them.” This summer, redefine your limits. Challenge yourself to sweat every single day.

#trending: croakies

Last month, Brody Jenner’s beau Kaitlynn Carter was pictured pairing her statement shades with a pair of gold croakies. Yes, croakies: those straps you attach to the arms of your sunglasses, popularized by Vineyard Vines loving frat boys and tense Dads wearing New Balance sneakers.

For years, croakies have been dubbed unnecessary and unstylish. But, it seems Carter thinks they are making a comeback. As the Instagram famous developer of The Western Wild and LA’s latest it-girl, we just might have to take her advice. Moreover, croakies might be a welcome accessory for summer days spent hiking, biking and paddle boarding.

Head on over to Sintillia to get yourself a pair. Styles range from $14 to $35. Or, if you’re a bit preppier, check out what Lilly Pulitzer has to offer.

Recipe: Spicy Fire Roasted Tomato Pasta

There’s little that can’t be fixed by a big bowl of pasta and a glass of red wine. Check out this easy recipe the next time you need some comfort food. Simply season some tomatoes and roast them in the oven for about an hour. Boil a pot of pasta and you have a healthy delicious meal!

Ingredients: 8 ounces whole wheat fettucine or spaghetti

2 pounds medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise

1/2 cup olive oil

2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons McCormick Gourmet™ Italian Seasoning, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place tomato halves, cut-sides up, in foil-lined pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the olive oil, garlic and seasoning in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the tomatoes. Roast in the oven for about 50 minutes, or until tomatoes are soft and browned.

Prepare the pasta as directed. Add the roasted tomatoes. Season to taste with parmesan cheese.

There’s a latte going on here…

I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that a morning coffee is a necessity. I mean, my alarm goes off and the first thing that comes to mind is….coffee. The thought of functioning without caffeine is…ungodly. People don’t actually do that, do they?

So, we kickstart our mornings with a Starbucks fix. Many of us try to avoid high cal frappucinos and sugary caramel lattes. But, how do other drinks stack up nutritionally? What type of milk should we request in our coffee? The Paleo diet tells us to ditch dairy, while Lauren Conrad inspires health junkies with her soy lattes. Let’s investigate.

So what’s the verdict?

If you’re watching your sugar intake, coconut milk is the best option. It’s also totally unprocessed and all natural. While skim milk has some added sugar, it is a low-cal, fat free alternative to whole milk or cream. Be wary of soy milk, as studies show that a high intake of processed soy may promote the growth of hormones associated with breast cancer.

#trending: tanning towels

We all know tanning beds have become a serious faux pas. After all, this summer the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reported that using a tanning bed before the age of 30 increases your risk of melanoma by 75%. Unless you want to look like a raisin before you hit 25, I would steer clear.

So, for those of us who simply can’t live without looking like we just went on a weeklong vacation to Tahiti, we turn to spray tans. We’re willing to dish out a precious $40 and take the gamble that we may leave looking like one of those dudes in Willy Wonka. But, there is a better solution for us bronze goddesses.

The revolutionary product “Tan Towel” is a self-tanning towelette that allows you to develop an even, bronze glow on your entire body. This product is amazing. Apply the towel in a circular motion and let it develop overnight. You will be stunned by your natural glow. Sold in packages of 10 individually wrapped “half body” towelettes, Tan Towels sell for no more than $20 on Amazon.
