Name: Layla

If you have a blog, what’s the name/URL?

I do, but I haven’t posted regularly, so it’s kind of boring! http://damnyoumuffintop.blogspot.com

Where You’re From

Originally from TN, currently in Atlanta, GA

Why do you read The Chic Life?

I can’t remember how I stumbled upon it, but I love reading The Chic Life! I use it for exercise inspiration, recipes, and I used Project Hydration as motivation to improve my water intake. I just really like the writing style, the pics (especially of Bailey!) and the upbeat, positive attitude that Diana has. I think she definitely puts a fun spin on eating right and exercising, instead of making it something that has to be done.

Favorite Exercise or Exercise Routine

I haven’t found my groove with exercise yet… I’m too all over the place at the moment. I am a fan of the 30 Day Shred DVD, and I love free weights. My husband and I are going to start running more regularly, and I’m joining a local boot camp that meets three days a week, which I’m really looking forward to.

Favorite Thing to Eat for either Breakfast, Lunch and/or Dinner

Breakfast: During the week, my favorite oat bowl! Sunday breakfasts with the husband are waffles made with Trader Joe’s pumpkin pancake and waffle mix, maple syrup, maple sausage and espresso. I love to snack on oranges, Larabars, sweet potato chips by Food Should Taste Good, chocolate Oikos, and I drink a LOT of coffee and loose tea. (And not enough water, ever! I do try, though.)

Hobbies or Hidden Talents

I love to read, both books and blogs! I’m a vintage shopper extraordinaire, and I love writing. Hidden talents…. I can touch my nose with my tongue, even though I think that’s more gross than talented, lol!

Describe Your Favorite Plate/Bowl

I eat the same oat bowl every day, I love it and can’t bring myself to try something new! In it – old fashioned oats, organic raisins, unsweetened shredded organic coconut, Bob’s Red Mill ground flax, and a tablespoon of almond butter. I only break from this on Sundays when my husband and I actually get to have breakfast together.

Favorite Quote

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Best Advice You Ever Received

Take a moment before every major decision and say “Will this change my life? Will I regret it?” If the answer is yes, you will regret it, then move on and don’t look back. Having no regrets is the key to a happy life.

What Makes Your Life Chic?

My healthy decisions, first and foremost.
