It means rare, exquisite, uncommon or carefully selected. That is the perfect word I have for the new Jennifer Zeuner gem I picked up at Intermix last week in NY. Never in a million years would I have picked up this beautiful piece but after a woman at the store showed me that you can wear it with the chain hanging down the back my heart skipped a beat {scroll down to see photos}. I hope you are ready to see a lot of white this season because I am hereby dubbing it my favorite color of the season. I recently headed out to find my happy at my new favorite wine bar, Zinque, in West Hollywood. A part of me didn’t want to share this hidden oasis and keep it my little secret. But this incredibly chic cafe is just too good not to share! I hope you are able to check it out soon if you’re in the area.

Shit hit the fan on Day Four {pardon my french, but it did}. I woke up not feeling hungry at all so I skipped out on breakfast. Bad idea. I went to my meetings, a few ran late, and then I found myself running back to my kitchen to make some thing for lunch at 1:30pm. I frantically searched my fridge which didn’t have a lot left over from my trip to the market on Sunday. I grabbed some chicken and half way through grilling it up the fire alarm went off causing pure chaos with my dogs. Polly kept freaking out, clawing at my legs.  I burnt the chicken trying to calm the dogs and get the alarm to shut off. That’s about the time I had my breakdown.  At the time I didn’t think my meltdown was from a lack of eating. I had no idea that at that time I was in “The Red Zone.” For some stupid reason, I like to think that I can withstand mental and emotional break downs that arise simply from the lack of food. I mean, how ridiculous does it sounds that because you didn’t have food for 6 hours that you end up crying? Well, it sounds pretty ridiculous to me. But the pain is real and the break downs do actually happen.

Mistake #1: I didn’t eat breakfast. Even when you aren’t feeling hungry, when you are dieting or fasting or trying to eat healthy it is MUCHO important to always, always keep yourself feeling full and mentally sane. Mistake #2: I didn’t stock up my refrigerator when supplies were low. If I had gone to the store yesterday, like I was supposed to, I could have grabbed a snack immediately walking in the door which would have calmed me down a bit. Mistake #3: I need to step up my cooking game. I have pretty much exhausted my standard “go to’s” in the kitchen which equal salmon, grilled chicken and steak. Today I am doing research on sugar free recipes. It’s time to think outside of the box.
