Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who read my blog. While I do not know what its like first hand, as an auntie I know the demand, love, selflessness, lack of sleep, and patience that moms give to their children. My sister gave birth last week to her first child (and my first niece!) [...]
Happy Earth Day! For over 40 years, Earth Day, April 22, has inspired individuals and organizations worldwide to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and sustainability. It lands on a Monday this year allowing to really spread the message regarding the impact of a meat heavy diet has on our environment. I participated in Earth [...]
What are you doing for St Patrick’s Day this year? If you plan to celebrate as I usually do, then you might need my Beer Belly workout. Combining cardio and strength, this workout targets your core to flatten it out while raising your heart rate with intervals to burn the fat on top. I also [...]

This morning I got the best Holiday surprise package from Kitsch Ties. I’m obsessed with these hair ties because they look cute on your wrist and don’t put kinks in my hair when I put it up. It doesn’t hurt that they are adorable and can match your outfits. Perfect stocking stuffers in my opinion! [...]
