WASP Wednesday!

Happy Birthday Lilly Pulitzer. I worship you.

I'm looking for some feed back/recommendations....

Black leggings? What is your favorite brand?

Has anyone tried Tracy Anderson's method?

Has anyone tried NuFace? It is electrical stimulation that helps firm skin and reduce fine lines.

Cooked Quinoa? Not sure what to add to it to make it taste great.

Sorry for all the random questions. This is what has been heavily weighing on my mind this week. Well that and Christmas shopping. Oh and the reason my pictures are sometimes so small is my new iPhone--that is as big as they'll get. Sorry they do stink, but I don't walk around with a camera. Off for a much needed facial. Hope everyone has a great day!

Collars up

    Mr. Z and I love Quinoa...I like to add roasted/sauteed peppers, onions or use in place of rice for a stir-fry.

    First of all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your book, and hope it gets turned into a movie ASAP! ( Even the typo's were charming!)
    The only tip I have to make quinoa as healthful and tasty as possible is: saute ground turkey in a bit of olive oil, then add the quinoa ( 1 cup)and ( 2 cups)chicken broth, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.

    Nu Face I believe is probably similar to Facemaster-which also uses electrical current but isn't technically handheld. Both are FDA approved. Facemaster works-if you use it daily. If you don't your firmness reverts back.It's like if you quit lifting weights the muscles go back. Still-Facemaster works,especially if I want to look extra good for a night out.

    Cook your quinoa in 1/2 water, 1/2 chicken broth; when it's done, stir in some toasted pine nuts, golden raisins or currants, chopped parsley, and lemon zest - treat it like couscous. Delish side dish. I've also had it in place of oatmeal - a drizzle of cream, some maple syrup, and raisins.

    I love my Victoria Secret black leggings. They're so comfy! They come in long or short, and are only $30 for two pairs! Hope you enjoy your facial!

    I got some leggings at Target and have no complaints. But I imagine it would depend on how you plan to wear them--these are fine under a skirt or dress or even a long sweater.

    Love quinoa. It's good with salsa. Sometimes I serve it instead of rice with dishes such as Chinese lemon or orange chicken. Google quinoa and blueberries for recipes. So yummy for breakfast.

    Happy Birthday LP!

    I like the recommendations of using quinoa like a stir fry. I've made it a few times but am always looking for ideas, too. I've added black beans and avocado to it before and usually put lemon & olive oil on it.

    I despise American Apparel but they do have good leggings I have been told. By several friends, natch. I norm go to the local ski shop and buy whatever they rec'd for leggings to avoid the AA trend... which means I can be uber prep and not supporting creepy stores like AA. ha!

    XOXO

    I'm a fan of the whitehouse black market leggings. They are thick and hold their shape really well and don't fade.

    I have leggings from Helmut Lang that are thick and look great on their own, and 3 Dots ones that are a little thinner and great under a dress or a tunic.
    I HAD the Tracy Anderson method dvd and found it to be kind of wacky - it's like Madonna dance moves/pilates and you feel like an idiot doing it -- but it TOTALLY works. Unfortunately it was mistakenly put into the Aristocats dvd box which then was lost in te morass that is the playroom. Thinking about ordering a new copy as I've seached everywhere to no avail.
    No comment on the quinoa but I bet Tracy Anderson eats it (when she eats that is.)

    I have tried Tracy Anderson (studio is right by my house) and her dvd's.... very intense and tricky to learn the routines sometimes. I love Wolford leggings and Hue leggings!

    I bought a pair of corduroy leggings by Hue (Macy's or Dillard's). They're great with riding boots.

    Best leggings: American Apparel. Hands down. They outlast every other brand I've owned, and are super super comfy.
