I had one of my busiest weeks in a long time between work, clients and teaching at The Bar Method and it carried right on through to the weekend. On Friday I taught a corporate wellness workshop at ASOS and went straight from there to teach a Bar Method class. After class, I met David for sushi and called it a night early even though the weather was beautiful and I would have loved to be on a … [Read more...]

Damp is the word that comes to mind to sum up this weekend. David was away for the weekend and the weather was cool and rainy so I decided this would be the weekend I would lay low.  On Friday evening I taught my first full Bar Method class which means it's only a matter of time until I'm certified! Inevitably, I always crave tacos on Cinco de Mayo and since I had a Mexican lunch, I really … [Read more...]

The weekend already feels like it's long gone, but it's worth re-visiting because, we finally - finally! - had what I truly think was our warmest day of the year. Saturday felt like Summer and it was glorious!  After co-teaching a class at the Bar Method on Friday afternoon, I arrived home to a glass of rose and some appetizers David put together before we left to see Ali Wong, … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago I posted on Instagram about being highly sensitive and I couldn't believe that so many people could relate. According to Psychology Today, studies show that 15-20 percent of the population is highly sensitive. It's more common than I realized but most people are unaware of this often hidden and frequently misnomered personality trait. A highly sensitive person has a heightened … [Read more...]

I've been trying to be consistent with these posts even when my weekends are mundane because I want to be really honest about who I am and what makes me happy. A lot of people like to pack a million activities into a weekend, but that's not what I'm about or how I get my energy. As I've gotten older I've realized that the simpler life is, the better. I'm in Louisville, Ky. this week for my … [Read more...]

Living so far away from my family is difficult on holidays like Easter when I typically don't go home. It's always been an important holiday in my family and based on experience, is also well-celebrated in New York City. Luckily, we were blessed with record high temperatures yesterday so there was even more reason to celebrate. I kept things pretty chill most of the weekend as I was … [Read more...]

Most of us have a team of health professionals we rely on for regular check-ups and when we're not feeling out best. This team may consist of an internist, a gynecologist, a dentist, a dermatologist and perhaps more. But if you're interested in getting to the bottom of your health concerns to fix the cause, instead of simply treating the symptoms, then perhaps you've considered working with a … [Read more...]

Whoa, what a week! We returned from Vail late Monday night and since then I feel like I've been playing catch up. Needless to say, we winged it all week on meals which was enough motivation for me to spend most of yesterday meal prepping like crazy so we have healthy meals all week.  But let's back up to Friday when I caught up with a friend for drinks at Mercer Kitchen at The Mercer Hotel. … [Read more...]
