New Bikini Alert and Some Great Nail Colors!

It's that time of year, Friends! Summer is so close we can taste it. And I have a couple new bathing suits to go to the beach in. So fun! I've also paired them up with some beautiful nail polishes for you to check out!

This one isn't brand new but it has some great, bright summery colors in it that I'm seeing are pretty common this season so I thought I would pair it with some polishes to show you. And I love that this one has these shimmery little "scales" all over it.

Can you see them?

This crazy bright one is by China Glaze called Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and it's from the Poolside Collection from about three years ago. 

If the yellow is a bit wild for you, try one of these pretty blues. This Sally Hansen in Pacific Blue or...

this Orly in Snowcone.

My husband got me this set which I think is really cute with these roses on it.

This bright red in Everybody Loves Redmond is a good one.

This pink is a good beach color too in (what do you know?) Summer Lovin'!

O.K. now for my NEW SUITS!!

This one is so bright and just screams summer. I love the color combination and the cool design!

This is from Victoria's Secret and they had more a couple weeks ago.

This orange looks really good on. Not too yellow, not too dark, just right. 

I love this amazing green!

And this pink is pretty amazing for summer too!

Lastly, this bathing suit is my favorite this year!

Also from Victoria's Secret. I love that it fades from purple to blue to green and...

has these shimmery sequins! These Essie colors will look great!

So here's to a fabulous summer for each and every one, whether you get a new suit or not, just pick a bright, pretty color for your nails and you're all set! Have a sunshiney day :) Taniya

Easy, Healthy, Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ever get tired of all the complex ingredients vegan cookie recipes call for? I was too! So I fiddled around in the kitchen for awhile, made several batches different ways, and finally landed on this one. And I think it's pretty super!
Easy Healthy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (low sugar)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup Earth Balance (or if having butter doesn't bother you, use butter)
1/2 cup brown sugar, not packed
1/2 cup applesauce
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 tsp. vanilla
Vegan chocolate chips or regular, whichever you prefer
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream butter and sugar in med. sized bowl. Add applesauce, mix well. Add ripe banana and vanilla. Mix.
In separate bowl mix flours and baking soda. Add flour mixture to wet mixture a little at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add amount of chocolate chips desired. Scoop onto cookie sheets with spoon or scoop and bake for 10-12 minutes until bottoms are brown and tops are slightly golden.
Remove to cooling racks and let cool before eating because they are even better cooled!

Now here's some cookies you don't have to feel too guilty about! If you want them even healthier, I would take out the brown sugar and use only whole wheat flour. Maybe you can work up to that as you slowly decrease the sugar in your diet, because as you do, you will become satisfied with less. But in the meantime you can enjoy these!

Let me know what you think! Or if you have any healthy recipes, I would love to hear about them :)
