Healthy Makeover Monday: Zevia

Last Monday, I talked about water intake. I set a goal to give up Diet Dr. Pepper except for maybe twice a week. I realized pretty quick this was an unrealistic goal! I was so good the first 3 days...I only had ONE ddp. But then, the headaches and tiredness set in. Mind you, I don't drink coffee on a regular basis. Maybe once a month, if that.  So I'm pretty sure the tiredness was the absolutely no caffeine.

So then I drank 2 ddp's that day. Then I drank 2 more the next day. Addiction I tell you!!! I was talking to a friend and she told me how bad sodas are. I already know how bad they are but I am in complete denial! She was telling me about an alternative sweetener called Stevia. I did some research and found something called Zevia, the zero-calorie soda. So I went to Target and found them. They even have one called Dr. Zevia!!! I got that one, of course, and a lemon-lime flavor.


I'm still going to drink a lot of water but If I HAVE to have soda, I'm going to HAVE to drink this stuff! Maybe this way I can "have my soda and drink it too"....oh come on, you know that was a little funny :)

I'll be doing a review on the taste soon!!

ALSO...my blog is driving. me. crazy.  Look to the right.  What's missing?  My sidebar!  Now scroll all the way down to the bottom.  Oh, HEY right sidebar!  What are you doing down there and how in the world did you get there??  I've been trying to get you back to where you belong, but you, you are one stubborn a**hole!!!!   Anyone else have this problem???

  1. I'm not s huge soda (or pop as we Canadians call it) but sometimes I get such a craving and want to chug Pepsi. can't wait to see how this turns out.

    sidebar issue. this happened to me and I literally had one picture that was too big for my blog.

    go look at your blog as if you were checking it out and open different posts in different tabs. you will notice that most of them are normal and the sidebar will be where it's supposed to be but one post the sidebar will be at the bottom.

    edit the post and make the pictures one size smaller and see if that works!

    sorry for the novel long comment haha :)

  2. I feel your blog design woes! I feel like I want to judo-chop my computer every time I post and my alignment won't stay where it's supposed to! Stinking blogger.

    And holy cow, there are so many Dr. Pepper addict bloggers! So at least you're in good company :) Ha!

    Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up with us! Following along now! :)

  3. Ohh! I was just thinking about it, and perhaps your column widths just need to be adjusted? Maybe try that? Template>Customize>Adjust Widths (Just in case!)

    Hope that helps?

  4. I've never heard of that but it seems like a good alternative!

  5. I've tried Zevia. I think it's a great alternative to regular soda. :)
    Thanks for sharing this at A Humble Bumble!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Today, I'm linking up with Michelle over at the vintage apple  for her weekly dedication to us Pinterest-obsessed freaks bloggers!!!  Her blog is awesome and I'm totally jealous...just sayin'!  She hosts this fun little blog link up party where we can all post our favorite pins from the week and share them all in one spot.  How fun is that??    I am completely addicted with Pinterest - check out all my boards here .  Going through my pins, I noticed I am also addicted with anything and everything turquoise at the moment.  So...I figured I'd go ahead and share some my turquoise goodness with you all...enjoy!
