Status Update

By

Hi Friends! Long time no talk. I've been in the process of making some changes to the site lately and it's taking me a bit longer than anticipated to get everything set up. My lack of technical expertise is definitely slowing things down a bit. 😂😂😂 But don't despair, I will be back, and better than ever (I hope), again soon with regular posts. In the meantime, there will be a few days when Pineapples & Pilates won't bear available. No worries though, I am aware of the downtime and (fingers-crossed) it will be temporary and short-lived. As always, thanks for reading! And have a great week! ...

How to Shop the Beautycounter Friends & Family 15% Off SALE!

By

Hi Friends! I'm back today with a Beautycounter update. I don't do these too often, but when the information is  this good I feel like it's unfair not to share. I think my last Beautycounter post was back in November. I know I've shared a few of my favorite products in my monthly "faves" posts, but I haven't done a full blown round up in a while. And, trust me, you are not going to want to miss this news. For a limited time only, Beautycounter is running a Friends and Family Sale with a 15% Off sitewide (there are a couple of exceptions, mostly kits and collections which are already discounted). If you are a Beautycounter fan, you know how rare this is. Other than some special Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal I think out last sitewide sale was last summer. So if you are thinking about making a switch to safer cosmetics there is no better time than now to give us a try. Oh, and just so you know, there is absolutely no risk involved because Beautycounter offers a 60-day return ...

Early Spring Wedge Salad with Creamy Dijon Poppyseed Dressing

By

Today's recipe keeps things super easy and quick. Both in terms of making it and reading about it. I am trying to accomplish a zillion things this week before we leave on vacation and, sadly, I haven't had any time to sit down and write. So, in the interest of time I'm going to forego the backstory and just go ahead and post this recipe. It's so simple and fresh, featuring just a couple of  spring's first new vegetables - radishes and carrots. These are layered on top of a wedge of iceberg lettuce, topped with gorgonzola crumbles and drizzled with a creamy poppyseed dijon dressing. I know it doesn't sound like much. But trust me, sometimes simple is best. A lesson that I am trying to apply not just to buy recipes but to all of my life. I prepared both the carrots and the radishes with my food processor. I used the grating blade for the carrots and the slicing blade for the radishes. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate your carrots on a box grater and slice your ...
