What is Paleo?

Ok so I started seeing the term "Paleo" around every place I looked!

 Pretty much anytime I go to research a new recipe or go on blogs, Pinterest, or any other type of social media. 

Soooo when I don't know what something is I "Google" it! Google has directed me to let you guys know that Paleo is diet. No one likes the term being on a diet, but the Paleolithic diet seems kinda interesting.

"The Paleolithic diet consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, eggs, vegetables, fruit, fungi, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, potatoes, refined salt, refined sugar, and processed oils"

Sounds like my diet pretty much already besides the fungi, and roots part. 
Although I am Irish and love potatoes (its my weakness).

Now that I have an idea of what Paleo means I feel like I understand what other bloggers are talking about!


Here are some pretty awesome and serious Paleo Bloggers:

Retro Swimsuits; ModCloth

I was shopping the other day and some of the department stores already had swimsuits out! For me this is a wonderful motivator and reminder. That although there is snow on the ground here in Pittsburgh, swimsuit season will be here quicker than I thought! When it comes to picking a swimsuit I am in love with the style retro. I also love the clothing store ModCloth! Check out my top picks for retro swimsuits this season!















It's ModCloth's ultimate swimsuit - now in a youthful yellow gingham print! The holy grail of swimwear, and flattering on every body type, this retro swimsuit by Esther Williams features low-cut legs, a halter neck, and flirty ruching across the front. Famed film star and swimmer of the 1940s and 1950s, Esther Williams makes retro, flattering swimsuits. Show off your own signature flair for vintage style - even at the beach!
