I cannot rave enough about how incredible apples are. They're not only my FAVORITE food in the whole entire world (aside from my guilty pleasure of pasta), but they are also so so good for you!
They help with weight loss, lower cholesterol, and cancer prevention, contain tons of antioxidants and vitamins, keep your bones strong, regulate your blood sugar, and help increase your metabolism. After all that...why wouldn't you eat an apple?!
My biggest tip is that you HAVE to pick up the habit of eating an apple a day at a scheduled time. For example, you can get into the routine of eating an apple as a healthy snack alternative when you return home from work, school, or sports.
This is internal beauty that will really reflect on the outside! If you're healthy and putting good foods into your body, it will definitely show in your skin glow and in your healthfulness. So go ahead and do a little good for your body and pick up an apple right now! xox

Obsessions: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!
Welcome to the first installment of my brand-new series, Obsessions! I will be blogging about anything that I've been recently obsessed with, from entertainment to clothes to everything in between.
As you probably know, the VS Fashion Show taped yesterday at Lexington Ave. Armory in NYC! It looked absolutely amazing and all the models were so gorgeous. VS is a huge obsession of mine because the Angels are stunning and promote healthy living. They're not stick thin like other models, and they're wonderful, real girls inside and out.
The clothing was out-of-this-world fantastic! It was so magical and unreal, and I am so excited to see the whole show on November 29th.
In the meanwhile, I've been keeping up by watching videos on their Youtube page! xoxo

Beauty Bar: Shredded Carrots
This is my first-ever Beauty Bar post, and I am so excited to kick it off! Well...I have a fantastic secret to share with you all.
I am absolutely obsessed with Bunny-Luv Organic Shredded Carrots! They are so delicious and pre-washed. The best way to prepare these, in my opinion, is just to lightly salt them before eating. Whenever I'm hungry, I always turn to these because they're a healthy and tasty snack.
I ate a lot of carrots when I was younger (to the point that the undersides of my feet are actually a bit yellow from all that beta carotene!), and I have always loved carrots as one of my favorite vegetables. I think that these shredded carrot bags are a perfect way to get your daily carrot and to have a healthy snack you can eat on the go. They are reasonably priced for being organic.
Carrots are nutritionally sound -- plenty of Vitamin A, fiber, potassium, calcium, and anti-aging and disease-fighting nutrients. The only thing I would warn you about is this -- raw carrots are better for you than cooked ones, because raw carrots don't have as high of a glycemic index (in other words, it's better to eat raw carrots to keep your blood sugar regulated).
They're so good for you and keep you beautiful and healthy on the inside! I think (personally) that carrots also give you a really healthy glow because of all the yummy nutrients in your body. :)
