Yellow Cardi

I managed to already cross one item off my Autumn Bucket list within only a couple of days.

And it only took me $40 and a cappuccino-fueled trip to two separate malls (I hate shopping, fyi). But at least I’m a quick shopper when I know exactly what I’m looking for, especially when that something is yellow and can be spotted from the store entrance.


Hello Yellow Cardigan!

(Definitely took this picture with the self-timer in my front yard, and felt like a tool doing it).

In other news, I’m currently in the process of doing the Fab Detox to help “reboot” the body and reduce toxins. I actually won it in a blog giveaway from nutritionist Meghan Telpner (which is the primary reason I’m doing it, TBH). It’s broken down into 3 phases:

4 day Transition in: eliminate dairy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, meat, fish, gluten
8 day Detox: eliminate beans, grains, nuts/seeds one day at a time culminating in a smoothie-only day before reintroducing the food eliminated foods

Today was day 1. So far, so good although there was a noticeable mid-afternoon slump, likely due to the elimination of my daily black tea.
I don’t think this detox is going to keep my energy levels high enough to do my weightlifting any favours, but maybe it will curb my sweet tooth?

Only time will tell.

  • [...] Buy a yellow cardigan (Check!) [...]

  • Definitely love the pic and totally worth the self-timer running back and forth! (Not that I’ve ever done that. Ahem). ;) But your outfit is adorable, and I’m in love with that yellow cardigan! :)

  • I love the yellow cardigan! I think I need one :) Good luck with your detox!

  • Despite feeling like a tool, you look fab and confident in that pic. Love the cardigan! I used the self-timer once recently while also inadvertently setting the camera to take 20 shots in succession. The result is like a stop animation film of me with a smile melting off my face as I rush toward the camera, thinking I’d broken it. Those pics will never see the light of day.

  • Your outfit is killer!

  • Good luck with the detox! The less I have sugar, the less I crave it so I am sure it will help nix the cravings!
