<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>shoes.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i mean, shoes are normally an obsession, but this month i have legit <u>reasons</u> why i need them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a] summer is in the air, so sandals are a priority.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
b] my pair of moccasins have passed on & a pair of beige loafers are on their way out.<br />
c] i have finally given in to the fact that i am not getting any younger. i'm on my feet all day - i need shoes that are attractive <b>and </b>supportive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
d] i read <a href="http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2013/03/offbeat-wedding-shoes.html" target="_blank">this</a> post from joanna, and i got super giddy to find unique wedding shoes. especially since i am slowly piecing together wedding details :)<br />
<br />
have you found any shoes that you love this season?</div>

spring has sprung in north carolina!<br />
we've had 60 degree days, 80 degree days, thunderstorms and pollen galore. even though it's been inconsistent, this weather has me dreaming of picnics, bike rides & outdoor concerts. what are you excited for this season?<br />

<br />
i have <a href="http://alilexpression.blogspot.com/p/30-before-30.html" target="_blank">always</a> wanted to do a juice cleanse. not just for the health benefits, but also because, as someone with IBS, i wanted to know if it helped with symptoms.<br />
<br />
there are several different types of juice cleanses out there, but during all the research, i found i felt most comfortable with <a href="http://blueprintcleanse.com/">blueprint cleanse</a>. i appreciated the fact that their first level cleanse includes five different kinds of juices - not just one type of juice that you're drinking all day [aka super unhealthy]. and each juice contains a ton of different vitamins and nutrients. the green juice [which you drank twice a day] contains 6 pounds of leafy goodness - so that means fiber... and lots of it. their pineapple/apple juice gives you a boost of energy and antioxidants. the fourth juice, spicy lemonade, speeds up your metabolism. the beet juice contains lots of iron, and the cashew vanilla is a great source of magnesium and copper. i read that the nutrients from the juices go directly into your blood stream & get to your cells within ten to fifteen minutes - so your body doesn't have to digest anything. that's crazy!<br />
<br />
when i decided to order from blueprint, i knew i could really only do a two day cleanse. there was no way i was going to try to do it at work, so i had to plan to do it on a weekend that i had off. and let's be real, two days without food is enough. the three days before and after the cleanse are suppose to be diet-restricted, too. on day three you cut out meat; day two you cut out grains & dairy; day one you only eat fruits and vegetables - and vice-versa. 'day one' before and after the cleanse were the hardest for me. every single thing sounded and smelled delicious. my biggest cravings? <b><u>cheese</u></b>. and cinnamon raisin french toast. <i>weird</i>.<br />
<br />
the juice cleanse itself:<br />
the green juice was... interesting. it was really hard for me to drink the whole bottle, let alone two a day. but, <i>it worked</i>. it got a lot of crap out of my system [sorry, tmi]. the second juice [pineapple] was deeelish and gave me tons of energy. the fourth was strange. cayenne pepper? yikes. but i got used to it and didn't mind it after awhile. the fifth juice was AWFUL. to me, beets taste like dirt. something strange happened in between the fourth and fifth juices - i got extremely nauseous. both days, actually. i felt so bad the first day that i decided to email blueprint just to see if i was having a bad reaction. they never emailed me back, but about an 30/40 minutes later i started feeling better. adam thought that the spiciness and acidity affected me poorly, but we weren't positive. the last juice, cashew vanilla, was great. because it was the last bottle, it felt like dessert.<br />
<br />
the after-effects:<br />
on monday morning i felt great. clean, refreshed, but empty. <i>i needed food</i>. i stuck to my juice, fruit & veges, but cheated that night and had some brown rice. the beginning of that week i ate really well and kept drinking a ton of naked juice - not just because it's what i should have done, but because i actually <u>wanted</u> it. and that cheese craving? gone! but then friday & saturday came, and my diet went on the back burner. i had burgers, nachos, beer & an ice cream soda. not good. i definitely felt the repercussions today.<br />
<br />
but the juice cleanse? <b>totally worth it</b>. i learned a lot about my body and started to think of food more as fuel. i now drink naked juice two or three times a day and have been making pineapple smoothies every morning before work. i also decided to budget in a blueprint cleanse every quarter in order to stay on track and consistent with my healthy regimen.<br />
<br />
thinking of doing a juice cleanse? have any questions? <a href="mailto:tttbelll@gmail.com" target="_blank">email me</a>! :)<br />

last month i had the opportunity to shoot a story for <a href="http://twinstripe.com/">twin stripe</a>, a seasonal, online magazine. co-founder katie williamsen, who currently lives in greensboro, and i met through <a href="http://www.blogbrunch.com/">blogbrunch</a> and decided to do a collaboration. <i>it was so fun!</i> i spent the morning in her lovely home photographing beautiful displays of wine & pairings, and spent the afternoon walking the streets of greensboro. katie and her husband chad were gracious, funny & genuine. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
hello, my dears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this post has been a long time coming - and for that, i am sorry. i took a couple weeks off from blogging because work was getting so hectic, and in all honesty, i needed a break. not just from blogging, but from the internet in general. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
adam and i have made a goal to spend more time doing quality things, together and apart. we want to read more. exercise more. go out more. try new things. and ultimately, spend less time with electronics. scary, right? i love my twitter, facebook, instagram, tumblr, pinterest & blog, but i just can't keep up with <b>all</b> of it consistently anymore. therefore, i will be taking a couple steps back from everything. i'll still be connected, but you will be seeing much less from me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so, until next time <3 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

this week is full of 6-3's, more prep work for the market on saturday & lots of holiday fun. we're going to a holiday party saturday night, and i will be decorating the house sunday. i'm going try and make a deal with a. - since the tree is going up a week late, we should keep it a week later in january. think he'll go for it? ;)</div>

i've been listening to norah jones a lot lately, and i feel this song is perfect for this time of year. hope you enjoy <3 </div>

hello, friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
although today is friday, it's like a monday for me - the start of another crazy week of seven full days at the store, and lots of side-work in between. adam and i were lucky enough to get away for a couple days, though, before the madness started. we visited the biltmore & grandfather mountain's mile-high bridge. have you ever been? it was lovely, but very scary since it was extremely windy that day.<br />
<br />
anyway, here are a couple photos from the past couple weeks. hope you enjoy <3<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
many of you may have noticed that my social media platforms have been a bit quiet for the past couple weeks. though i have been trying to limit my time on the interwebz, this isn't the only reason for my silence.<br />
<br />
<b>i got a new job.</b><br />
<br />
when adam and i found out we were moving to the south, we only had two weeks to find an apartment & get everything packed up. so, i just decided to transfer with starbucks because a] it was easy and b] it ensures a paycheck. although i love free coffee [who doesn't?], my heart wasn't in the job & i couldn't see myself wanting to move up in the company. so after a month of getting settled here, i started thinking about what i am good at, what i love & what i would want to dedicate myself to.<br />
<br />
i love photography, but it takes a long time to get established in a new location. and though i hate to admit it, i was having some serious doubts about my photographs and my abilities.<br />
i love event planning, but i didn't want to be an intern anymore. i would love to start my own company, but i feel i don't have enough experience or overhead yet. and though i had an amazing time planning <a href="http://alilexpression.blogspot.com/2012/06/recap-friday_22.html">this</a> event freelance, i was looking for something more stable.<br />
<br />
then i found <u>the</u> job.<i> merchandising team lead at urban outfitters.</i><br />
<br />
i love clothes. i have loads of experience in retail. i love visual displays and design. and, i'm detail-oriented.<br />
it was perfect.<br />
and it is perfect.<br />
i've been at UO for almost a month and i am loving every second of it <3<br />
<br />
so there's my explanation.<br />
i still need time to balance everything out, but, i'm here and i'm not going anywhere :)<br />
