Hail for Kale

Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around. If you find yourself bored of lettuce or mixed greens, substituting kale in a salad is just as delicious and really creates a unique flavor. Kale is filled with antioxidants and nutrients, known for lowering your risk of certain cancers and diseases. 

The Facts: One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6, 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. Below is a recipe for kale salad that I have created, and I use it about once week. It is very simple but extra yummy. Try it out :)

Ingredients: 1lb fresh organic red and green kale, chopped

Red onions chopped, red cabbage chopped, shaved carrots, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

dash of kosher salt and black pepper

Looks I Love

This season I am fond of anything and everything glittery, sparkly, and sequin-filled, which is so not my typical style. On an average day I am smothered in neutral draping tops paired with jeans, and a gold watch is about the extent of my jewelry. Lately though, I've been completely enamored with the combination of masculine meets feminine. Looks such as boyfriend jeans and a sequined top are fabulous, chic, yet still casual. Wearing a signature sequined statement piece is the perfect way to glam up your look this season. I am absolutely going on a hunt for the Vince sequined top shown below!
