That's a wrap!
In summation, I got my nails done, I ate a crab leg, I observed celebrities, I put on a fancy costume, and I stood in place.

Latest Gossip Girl Gossip
Some tech guy ran to get Leighton an umbrella and got soaked, then she didn’t let him under it. Ha awesome. Ed walked by in a robe. Hillary Duff passed again in a purple dress. There’s a Naughty Waiter costume in the works. I’m about to go snooping.
You'll be there!
Pep Talk: You're young and spunky. You get worn out but you can bounce back pretty easily. If you're in the mood, go ahead and cram one more event into your busy social schedule. You'll catch up on rest later.
Today remind yourself: I'll be there!

Ed Westwick called me darlin
And Leighton Meister rolled her eyes in my general direction. Just keeping you up to the minute. I’m sitting in front of a back drop of the central park skyline. My hands were approved, nails painted, and now we wait for show biz magic!

Any Gossip Girl Fans?
As you may or may not recall, when I’m not pepping my life away here on DailyPepTalkFromABestFriend.com, I’m an actress…

Pep Talk: Have you ever been accused of yelling when you think you’re using a perfectly reasonable inside voice to emphatically explain your position? Or told you’ve got an attitude when you’re just being confident? It’s infuriating! When that happens, you’re being set up. It’s the classic straw man argument- they’re misrepresenting your stance and making...

I shall call this Face Off with Flower.
You can do an honest day's work.
Pep Talk: Because you’re so clever, you can produce excellent results with very little effort. This is especially true when you don’t find your work very stimulating. Your evaluator probably thinks you’re giving your all even when you’re totally phoning it in. That’s cool. But if it came down to it and you had to do 8 hours of labor, you could do it. You’re not...
My fellow Tumblrs,
If you’re anything like me, you’re constantly trying to convince people to switch blogging platforms. Well, I hooked one! Check out my friend Linda Jo’s new tumblr Just Add Meaning (& stir…).
As always
Lovin’ You,

Move over, Triscuits. There's a new sherriff in...
This recipe I stole from a cookbook, then immediately forgot the specifics.
Rachel’s Stolen Chick Pea Snack
Preheat your oven to 450
Drain a can of chick peas and spread them out in a pan. Maybe dry them off a little with a paper towel. Sprinkel them with whatever seasoning you like. I did seasoning salt and garlic powder. Pepper might also be good, I don’t know, follow your heart.

You guys, I've been cooking.
Since spending the weekend in Connecticut with Weight Watcher extraordinaire, Cara, I’ve been trying my hand at some of her new recipes. They’re so simple I feel I have to share. For me, they have to be simple… remember last Thanksgiving when the flames shot out of my oven?

Pep talk: If you’ve been brave enough to make a change, then I know you’re also strong enough to withstand the criticism associated with challenging others’ perceptions of you. People like it when you’re simple and easy to understand. They love to be able to say, “Oh typical Rachel, she always wears her hair curly and drinks until she blacks out.” So when I...

Something good happen to you lately? Fill me in and I’ll shout it out in this new feature called Let’s Get Quizzical.
Quit stalling.
Pep Talk: Either you’re going to do it, or you’re not. Some things are best mulled over; this bullshit issue, however, is not one of those things. Do it and be done with it or don’t do it and do something else. At least then you can put it out of your mind. You know what the right choice is for you, so make it.
Today remind yourself: Quit stalling.
PepCast: You butt in as needed. →

This week I'm making the commitment...
…to eat my 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day. The idea being that, if I do, I’ll be too full for Triscuits. Who’s with me?!
