Be (B)eautiful: A classic summer/fashion essential is a hot clutch. Clutches dress up any outfit and are truly worn as an accessory much like a bracelet. These are a few of my favorites!

• I love this clutch to dress up a simple outfit for a night out. You can never go wrong with a splash of pink!

Be (A)uthentic: If something is bothering you- the worst thing you can do is bottle it up inside. If it is something that you feel wont be able to just go away on its own then find a healthy way to deal with it. Write it down, vent to a close friend, find a solution.  If it involves another person don’t attack them (verbally or physically), but take a few minutes to gather your thoughts and approach them like a WOMAN.

Be (D)etermined: The countdown to the first day of summer is ON! There are little things you can do to help eliminate your fat and calorie intake. I love love pizza! But I always make sure to blot off the excess oil. This helps save an average of 40 calories per slice and about 4.5 grams of fat (source).
