Yummy (and Healthy) Foods!

Hey world!

Today I wanted to do a post about health foods. I am the worst eater in the world, and I love to pig out on candies, chocolates, fried things, and fatty foods. I have been super lucky, and never really gained much weight, but I know it will catch up to me one day when I get older. When I started modeling, I knew I really had to watch what I ate! Here are some relatively healthy recipes I have been eyeing.

A light salad with white corn, avocados, bell peppers, and greens. 

Acorn squash stuffed with cuos-cuos, cilantro, crumbled feta, and chopped walnuts. 

A poached egg with arugala on avocado toast.

Kale and avocado salad (Again with the avocados I notice...)

Sweet peaches with brown-sugared yogurt,

Simple & tasty brushetta.

Prosciutto and brie sandwich with fig jam and spicy greens.

Grilled shrimp and orzo.

Smoked Salmon BLT (They should have these at Subway!)

Asparagus cheese tart

So, what do you think? I used to never think I could find something both healthy and nutritious! I think for breakfast tomorrow I am going to have a poached egg with arugala on avocado toast. BTW, avocado toast is the best thing ever! Try it when you get the chance :) Hoped you got some healthy inspiration!

Living 'da Life!

I'm living it up at the Greenwich Country Club today, with my friend Amanda! Our dads are really good friends, and they have been chatting about football and playing golf all afternoon. Me and Amanda have just been hanging by the pool and playing tennis. Right now I am sitting at the snack bar with my MacBook, blogging and instagramming! Instagram is my latest obsession. I have turned it on private though, because there are creepy stalkers out there! LOL

I am just realizing now, my outfit looks identical to the one Courtney wore on the Bachelor.

Weird! Anyways, I'm so glad that it's the weekend, and I cant wait 'till Monday! (Correction: Tuesday) Usually Mondays (Tuesdays) suck, but this Monday (TUESAY), the new Canterwood Crest book comes out. I love those books! Lauren, the main character, reminds me so much of myself. The books are about these girls at an equestrian boarding school. There is a generous serving of boys and drama! You should really read them if you get the chance. I know they may seem a bit kid-y at first, but they are really good.

I am so excited!

I Ran Into Blake Lively!

This was the same outfit she was wearing when I saw her!

Yes, you heard me right! I live in Greenwich, but a couple days ago I went into New Canaan to go shopping with some friends. First we hit the J. Crew store, then we went into the Whitney Shop for a while. Right outside the window, I saw a woman that looked strangely like Blake Lively. Some people around us were taking photos of her. I then realized, OMG, it was Blake Lively! I almost fainted right there. Ryan Reynold was right next to her, and they were window shopping RIGHT NEXT TO US!!!

I didn't want to seem like a creepy stalker-ish fangirl, so I breezed by and didn't ask for her autograph or anything like that. If I were a celebrity then I would want to relax when I could, and get away from a bunch of screaming fans! There was even an article in the New Canaan Patch about her and Ryan. They were buying a house somewhere near here, and were looking in a bunch of home decor places (like The Whitney Shop). She and Ryan eventually bought a country home in Bedford.

All I can say is Wow! A lot of famous people live in Greenwich, (because it is super-close to the city, but not as busy), but not once have I actually seen one before! I was like, two yards away from her. Wow, I am so starstuck! When we got in the store, all I could say was OMG for five minutes straight. No joke! ha, ha. I still can't believe it!!!

New Puppy!

I am so excited! As an early birthday present, my parents are getting me a new puppy! The picture above is not the picture of the same dog I am going to get, but it looks EXACTLY like the puppy. One of my mom's closest friends is a dog breeder, and I got my other dog from her as well. My other dog, Bella, is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel just like the new puppy. They are the cutest, sweetest, softest dogs ever!!! Watch this vid, and you'll see why I love them so much.

Yeah, sorry. There was a problem with copyright issues or something like that. You can go watch it in youtube if you really want to! I am so excited, I can hardly stand it! I am the biggest dog lover in the world :). I won't dessert sweet Bella for the new puppy though, because I don't want her to feel left out. Now I need to start thinking of names... hmmm. I know barely anyone reads this, but if you want, help me out here and comment your suggestions! Thanks :)

P.S. Thanks for 400 page views! I know that it not a lot, but to me it feels like a million!

Random Things I'm Loving!!!

I have noticed myself being drawn to certain things over and over again, and I thought today as I was pulling up my blog, why not do a blog post on all of the items I have been craving! Buckle your seat belts ladies and gentlemen, and prepare for a wild ride!

The most addicting game since Doodle Jump. I still love Doodle Jump, (My high score on Doodle Jump is 789,330! Sorry, I couldn't take up this chance to brag. :P) but I love Temple Run more! I have never gotten into Angry Birds though, no matter how hard I try to love it :/ Oh well, at least I still have my beloved Temple Run!

Recently, I don't know what it is, but I have become a huge tea-drinker. Whenever I am feeling a little under the weather, I grab a cup of tea. When I need a little caffeine boost to get through my HW, I grab a cup of tea! When I am feeling chilly, I grab a nice warm cup of tea. I love my tea :)

I have a couple pairs of Tory Burch reva flats, but have never worn them that much. Since spring in here, and the weather is warming up, I have been pulling these out out my closet a lot, and wearing them more then just occasionally. I now have eight pairs (EEEK!) and I love all my Reva flats to pieces!

I love Nutella! I have it with literally EVERYTHING. This morning I has it with french toast, and it was beyond amazing.  I know this is kind of gross, but I sometimes just like to eat it out of the container with a spoon. Yesterday I tried it with my bacon and fruit at breakfast, and it tasted SO good. The best things, in my opinion, are Nutella crepes. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

My new favorite nail polish color! I am straying away from my regular french manicures and pale pinks, and trying out this mint color. It makes my skin look much tanner, and just looks really pretty, especially for spring. Love, love, love!

Birthday Party Planning

My birthday is a little less than a month away, and I'm so excited to get planning my party! I LOVE planning parties, and I help my friends whenever I can. We have made reservations for the Greenwich Country Club on the 19th of May (My b-day, yay!!!)

Here are some photos I found found for inspiration! A lot of them are from the website Cupcakes and Cashmere. I got tons of inspiration from Emily's bachelorette party.

We'll have a blast swimming at the pool! I can just picture myself sitting in the hot tub... sipping a cool drink... ahhh

I'm sure I'll also play plenty of tennis! One of my favorite sports next to swimming.

One of my favorite parts of summer: pinna coladas. The non-alcoholic kind of course.

This looked like such a delicious snack! Gourmet grilled paninis. Perfect.

Sweet, salty, savory... bacon covered figs. Mmm.

A gorgeous cake! Vanilla-raspberry ombre.

The prettiest party decorations! I know my party room will be filled with these.

I. Can't. Wait! Counting down the days 'till I finally turn 14!
