To celebrate two years of marriage, David and I spent this weekend in Vail, Colorado. He really wanted to get one more weekend of skiing in before the season ends and spring skiing is my favorite kind, so we decided on Vail since it's only an hour and a half drive from Denver. We flew into Denver on Thursday night and stayed overnight downtown.  We were awake bright and early because of the … [Read more...]

  On Monday, David and I celebrated two years of marriage! Time really does fly when you're having fun because it feels like just yesterday we were exchanging vows in warm and sunny Cabo San Lucas Mexico with our friends and family looking on. We're on our way to Vail to celebrate, so today I want to get a little more personal than usual and spend some time talking about how we've maintained … [Read more...]

This post was sponsored by Nature Made as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. As much as I try to manage my work and personal life and maintain some kind of organized sanity, the truth is I tend to take too much on. Take the current state of affairs: I'm training to become a Bar Method Instructor, working on a new brand and web … [Read more...]

Another weekend came and went and I'm left wondering how it went so fast - and how I took so few pictures!!  We started our weekend with Indian food and a movie at home, Moonlight, on Friday night. On Saturday, I slept in a little before heading to a Bar Method class. David and I met for a quick lunch and then I did a little shopping and a matcha latte run at ChaLait before my haircut at … [Read more...]

Recently, I wrote about my experience with pelvic floor dysfunction. In large part, the reason I was experiencing such discomfort was because I had high tone pelvic floor, hip flexor and inner thigh muscles. While it sounds like a good thing, "high tone" means that my muscles were too tight at rest, which was causing the imbalance. To release my muscle tightness in my hips and inner thighs, my … [Read more...]

When I first started dating my husband, he would lovingly comment that my nose is always in a book. It's true that I've always been a bit of a book worm. As an introvert, I could sit and read all day. I truly can't get enough. I've always liked non-fiction and still do, but when I became a Health Coach, naturally, I started gravitating toward books about nutrition. If you were to look at my … [Read more...]

I eat a fairly clean diet, so the weekends are my chance to be a little adventurous with food usually by trying a new restaurant or healthy-ish food trend. This weekend, I decided I wanted a bagel.   Since I went gluten-free a year ago, I haven't had a bagel, so I did a little research and decided that I would give Thompson Square Bagels a try. I ordered a plain gluten-free bagel with tofu … [Read more...]

From time to time, I stop in and post a little update on running, specifically where I am with it at any given moment in my life, because these things change. Once upon a time, I wrote more about running than I admittedly do now. Weekly posts about marathon and triathlon training were the norm. You may have noticed that all of that has fallen by the wayside over the past year or so. In fact, … [Read more...]

A few months ago, I started feeling a strong pull toward incorporating a collagen supplement into my diet. Now, let me remind you that I've been a vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian for the better part of 25 years and most collagen supplements are derived from cows, so this wasn't an easy decision. However, I knew that if my body was asking for it, I better listen. If you're at all immersed in … [Read more...]
