Ok, ladies, time to get personal here. Today, I'm sharing what you need to know about your pelvic floor. I know, it sounds like a snooze fest, but listen up because pelvic floor dysfunction affects one in four women in the US, it doesn't discriminate based on age and not enough of us know about it.  Last year I discovered that a weak pelvic floor was affecting my day-to-day quality of … [Read more...]

I'd be lying if I didn't say this weekend wasn't emotionally charged in a number of ways from a political standpoint. However, I've always made it a point not to discuss politics or religion on this blog or any social media space, and I will continue to stand by that. Know that even though I don't choose to make political opinions a part of this blog, that I stand for love, equality and positivity … [Read more...]

Oof ... busy week! I got a little behind with my 52 Lists Project, but I'll catch up somehow. This week's list asked me for the happiest moments of life so far. Let me be real for a second. In my last 52 Lists post I mentioned that I had checked the hashtag, #52listsproject, and that people had gotten really creative with their lists. I mean, artistic creative with beautiful drawings and … [Read more...]

As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach I'm always looking for all-natural and alternative ways to detox and de-stress and by doing so, up-level my self-care. Last year, I decided that it was time to get serious about and invest in some alternative self-care practices that would support me in body, mind and spirit. A healthy diet and exercise, isn't always enough and for me, it was time on … [Read more...]

My first week back from vacation saw it's fair share of jet lag and laundry, so I was happy to have a relaxing weekend at home. Anyone else feel like the first month of the year always seems to be a little blah after coming down from the holidays? Me too. Nevertheless, here are a few of my weekend highlights.  After working late on Friday waiting for David to get home from a business … [Read more...]

  If you're an avid exerciser like me, you're likely faced with smelly workout gear once in awhile (or on the regular) and you're wondering, just how to care for your workout clothes to keep them smelling fresh and clean. Yep, so was I. It seemed I had tried everything and yet, more often than not, I was throwing away my favorite - and expensive - tops and tanks because of "baked in" … [Read more...]

Hello from New York City! We spent this weekend on an airplane wrapping up our holiday travel and getting re-settled into our life at home, so for this week's post, I'm backtracking to last weekend and the past week where we spent the New Year in Zurich, Switzerland and the week skiing in Ischgl, Austria. We arrived in Zurich on New Year's Eve day. After a little rest, we ventured out to … [Read more...]

I'll admit that whenever I'm asked a question like this: my favorite characters from movies or books, famous people who I'd like to have dinner with, anything along these lines - my mind goes blank. I have no idea why, but these are some of the most challenging questions for me and I never feel that strongly about my answer. I'm guessing because as someone who considers herself relatively … [Read more...]

  This question comes specifically from Alisa in my Holistically Hot Women Facebook Group. About a month ago I asked for some blog topics people would be interested in reading about and Alisa said she wants to know how to fit exercise into a busy schedule.  Let me say that I've given a lot of thought about how to answer this question, because, for me, exercise has always been a … [Read more...]
