Four New Year's Eve Drinks Under 200 Cals! Fancy, Fruity & Bubbly!

I have a few solid plans for tomorrow night (New Year's Eve) and they are to Eat, Drink & be Merry! Those would be most people's Holiday plans but I didn't get to celebrate Christmas so I'm making up for it on New Years Eve. It's still technically the Holidays anyway right? :)

I've also been making great progress on some weight loss that I don't want to blow so I did some digging to find some great drinks us ladies watching our calories can indulge in. Fancy, fruity and bubbly, a drink for every taste: 

Fancy:
Pomegranate Martini
A 4oz serving made with pomegranate vodka and pure pomegranate juice (about 50/50) only has 185 calories! Delicious and full of antioxidants. 

Red Wine
A glass of red wine boasts 120 delicious calories per 5 ounces. Remember a jumbo glass can hold 10 ounces or more so remember glass half full ;)


Fruity:
Strawberry Daiquiri
You can whip up your own low calorie daiquiri using frozen fruit with no added sugar. Strawberries make a perfect choice because they're naturally sweet. Mix three partially thawed berries in blender with ice, half oz lime juice and one and half shot of Rum. Add a little water to blend and you're set for 195 calories!

Bubbly:
Champagne
Pour Champagne into flutes and add a few raspberries. Pretty, delicious and only 100 calories per 5 ounce glass. Your best drink option! You can also make your own spritzer with club soda and ice added to white wine. 


4 Delicious drinks under 200! I'll toast to that!
Happy New Year Moxie Beauty Friends! :)

Holiday Heels for $25 ~ Get The Look For Less! Colin Stuart VS. Target ~ Gold Glitter Pumps


Happy December! I've been browsing online for some gorgeous stilettos for the Holidays (Christmas, New Years, etc ) and I came across these Golden beauties by Colin Stuart! I'm on a bit of a budget so I didn't want to spend $138 so I went online to search and came across a fab find that I had to share! Target has some gorgeous goldens that are just as shimmery as the Colin Stuart for $113 cheaper! What a steal! 

Okay I know what you're thinking, yes the Colin Stuart are very cute. Maybe even worth the $138 but because this is such a bold piece, it's not something you'll be wearing everyday, maybe 1 or 2x a year so there's no great reason to splurge. I actually went into to Target to check them out and the Target version is super shiny and even looks better in person plus the ankle strap adds a nice touch of glam. :) 




These are going to look gorgeous with almost any dress or skinny jeans you decide to wear this season. Pair them with a killer body con in black, oxblood, or practically any jewel tone. Since these are already Glam be sure to not over accessorize and a simple but curve hugging dress is best!


About Moxie Beauty Blog

During the conception of this blog I wanted to create a tool that teaches and inspires. I wanted to create a special place that can celebrate and inspire young women. Given the blessing of Intuition, the ability to bear another life, the ability to love unconditionally, a spectacle of beauty, and a deep connection to ones emotions and heart, is a Strength of ours that is commonly socialized as a weakness. These characteristics of our feminine since the beginning have subjected us as a moving target because many have subjected our strengths as weaknesses. 

A lot of changes have happened for us women over the course of the last century, we have our right to vote, we have the right to equality and education and workforce. Many women are now even the breadwinners of the family and to all the Single Moms out there raising their families (A proud tear and a cheer: "We've come a long way honey!) I have never been so proud to call myself a Woman and to be included in this amazing group of beings. 


With that said, I knew exactly the kind of content I wanted to share with these very special readers: Things that make us feel good, happy, healthy, inspired, hopeful, sexy and confident, things that help us embrace the Woman and her strength inside us all! I just needed a perfect name.  So a few days later it came to me, Moxie, and it was a perfect way to start a Blog, meaning force of character, determination, courage and strength of oneself. Moxie is the ideal lady and she celebrates her Strengths and believes in her gifts!


Food for thought, nutrition for our bodies, fashion for fun and good laughs are what this Blog is all about! My goal is that something you read here will contribute to aiding you on your journey to becoming the best person you can be. You are special and you deserve it! 


I'm on a spiritual journey to becoming an ultimate modern day woman warrior who can love unconditional both herself and others, be loved unconditionally, believe in oneself, respect oneself, love who I am both my flaws and perfections, and the courage to find and determine my place in the world.



Thank you so much for reading and I hope you find something useful here! 


So Much Love,
