November 8, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleEvery time I have a random thought, I always want to rush to blog about it. It is kind of annoying because I can’t concentrate on anything else until I released my feelings through a blog post.
I spend a lot of time consuming media, and this week, I noticed the headlines about Lululemon’s founder blaming his see-thru pants debacle on the shape of certain women’s bodies. I also noticed the stuff about Abercrombie now offering clothes in sizes larger than 10 (I am not going to WALK, but RUN to my nearest Abercrombie to stock up!!); yes, after their

You may recall that I was a mess, about 2 months ago. I was deep in the perils of finding a job right after college. Well let me tell you, I decided to become a certified yoga instructor, and it changed my life. After doing 200 hours of training, I would like to share some perspective I gained. For once I followed my heart, and did what I wanted to do, rather than what society told me I should do.
After my training began, I found myself occupied with something I loved. I actually enjoyed Saturday morning classes, even if

November 6, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleHere at NeonNotebook we are all about demystifying life’s greatest mysteries. There is nothing more mysterious than texts from a boy that you are sorta dating. I know, I am not the only one that spends an embarrassing amount of time over-analyzing texts.
Luckily, we have, Katie Amey, our in-house Cosmo UK writer to answer all our dating questions, and we have decided to conduct a very scientific social experiment.
Katie and I picked 5 of the most common, generic texts that all girls over-analyze. Yes, we can read what he said in black and

 All of my friends have awesome Alamo pictures. Check out Katie Amey’s too.
As I was putting this post up, I got a little bit emotional. I love reading all the Career Confidentials, but I especially love reading the ones from my friends. These are topics we don’t always spend a lot of time talking about, so I always find their answers to be so interesting and insightful. More than anything else,

November 4, 2013 by Contributor in ETC., Lifestyle“Fitness” seems to be the buzz word that never goes away.
This isn’t such a bad thing because being fit and healthy should be a priority; however, the real issue is: who has time for it?
There was recently an Internet uproar when Maria Kang, a fitness enthusiast and mother of 3, posted a picture of her toned body, with the caption “What’s Your Excuse?” Well maybe she’s right. I have to say though, I have never been willing to trade my social life for time at the gym. This makes it “more difficult” but again, I think

November 1, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleThis is why Facebook is a wonderful thing: I noticed that my former roommate, Alix Altit, decided to become a personal trainer! As part of that, she started a YouTube channel with health and fitness videos. The other day, she posted a video with a recipe for a healthy fig martini (check it out below!), and thought it would make a great pre-weekend post.
All week I have been looking forward to this weekend because my best friend is coming in town, and we are going to have a fabulous night out. Every once in a while you

October 31, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleAs you continue to read my blog, one thing that you must know about me is I have major obsessions. I get hooked on random, stupid things that no one else cares about. Past obsessions: Harry Styles, white men’s t-shirts, American Apparel lamé leggings, chunky bracelets, the list could really go on and on.
Right now, I am totally obsessed with layering dainty gold necklaces. There is something just kinda charming about them. The other day I went to the mall, and went on a rampage buying more so I could have a variety.
I have been wearing

 This past week has been the best. My anniversary and birthday fall in the same week, so I’ve been showered with love, gifts and hey, I even got a little breaky break from cooking for a few days.
My husband and I celebrated 1-year of marriage. Huzzah! We’ve been together for seven years, so we’re very familiar with what makes a good gift for each other, however, getting gifts for males can always be

 Hallie Rich grew up in the vitamin industry; her family consisted of formulators, manufacturers and marketers. While she spent many years promoting vitamins, the irony was she had never actually taken a vitamin because she couldn’t swallow pills. As they say, “necessity is the mother of innovation”, so she decided to create the alternaVites brand to solve the latter problem.
She created a comprehensive multivitamin & mineral mixture in crystal powder form that

October 29, 2013 by Contributor in ETC., LifestyleI’m guest writing this blog for Neon Notebook to ask the eternal question: do the crazy girls get the guy?
As a recently-hired Cosmo writer (ahem, humble brag), I feel like I should have at least some sense of how all of this shit works, but let me tell you the truth: I am a disaster with everything related to dating and guys. (Thankfully for you all, I mostly write about fashion…)
A recent real-life event (names changed, because, like, that’s hella awkward to give out the identity of this poor girl) prompted a long-winded gchat with Bekah, which ultimately
