Skinny Funfetti Dip

One of my biggest downfalls is my sweet tooth, I almost always crave something sweet after dinner and it's so hard to say no. So, I love it when I find yummy sweet recipes that are lower in calories and fat. Bonus points for being super easy to make too! I found this recipe on Pinterest, and knew it'd be a huge win. Ingredients 1 box of funfetti cake mix 2 cups of non-fat greek yogurt (I always use Oikos "Uncle Jesse" yogurt, as it's the only non-fat greek yogurt without sucralose) 1...

Spring Cleaning Weekend

**First things first - if you have my URL saved in your browser as peridotkutie.blogspot.com please note it has changed to greenfashionistablog.com. Yes, I have finally purchased a domain, and it gets redirected to my old URL. Still trying to figure out how to not just be re-directed, but for my domain to be the main URL** Oh Monday we meet again, but I'm not complaining as much as usual because I actually feel refreshed and ready to take on the week. It was unseasonably cool this weekend which...

Friday Sweets

I felt like this week dragged, so I am welcoming this lovely Friday with open arms! A long week though means there were a lot of favorites to love! 1. My latest Rocksbox came in, and the pieces are gorgeous! I may need to cash in some more credits soon... 2. Wednesday night I attended the Orlando Blogger Meet and Sweet, and hung out with Deborah and Heather. We mingled with other local bloggers while enjoying sweets from the various vendors. Such a neat event, looking...

Everyone needs some sparkle

I mentioned here about what happened after I ordered these beautiful sequined pants. My size was out of stock, so my order was cancelled. I then called customer service, and they told me the next size up was available plus they gave me an extra discount for the inconvenience. After my rant in yesterday's post about Carnival's lack of customer service this was a pleasant surprise, and the perfect definition of how to keep customers happy. Pants - H&M | Top -...

Weekends are for sun and fun

Another beautiful weekend bites the dust... Friday night was spent with my favorite neighbors in their beautiful pool and hot tub. We hadn't gotten together in far too long, so it was nice to play catch up over a lot some drinks. Saturday was pretty much a wash for me, I was nursing one of the worst hangovers I've experienced in a loooooong time. I cancelled movie night plans with friends, and was only able to lay by the pool during the day and make it out for a quick bite and some...

The Friday after vacay

Happy first day of spring! Coming off of vacation into a full week of work is rough with a capital woof. But I made it, and am looking forward to some beach and/or pool time this weekend with some drinks imagining I'm still sailing the Caribbean.  1. I discovered a paddle boarding place near my job and frequent lunch spots, and now all I want to do is go paddle boarding at lunch. How amazing is that? *And that view* *Such an awesome way to spend your lunch hour* 2. I cashed...
