I'm writing this week's notes feeling both exhausted and elated. Before my health coaching career, I worked in marketing and PR for the tech industry and regularly attended trade shows. They are equally draining as they are exciting. Back to back days and hours upon hours spent on your feet, yet action-packed with opportunities to make solid connections. That's exactly what I experienced this … [Read more...]

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you may know that I just celebrated a birthday, which inspired this post. I've  been incredibly open on this blog about my (admittedly, somewhat irrational) fear of aging. To that end, I've made a lot of changes to my skincare routine over the past several years to better care for my skin and combat visible signs of aging. Facebook or … [Read more...]

I'll admit that when David told me he had booked a trip to Santa Barbara for my birthday weekend, I was a little ambivalent about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm super grateful, but I'm somewhat of a homebody when it comes to my birthday. And this, my friends, is why David is the perfect match for me.

  Weekends to me are basically synonymous with Brunch. We're creatures of habit and after our respective workouts or yoga, you can usually find David and me at Le Pain Quotidien devouring smoked salmon and soft boiled eggs.

I didn't know it at the time, but this flatbread (err ... pizza, pictured above) is the last gluten and dairy-laden meal I would eat. My husband and I were celebrating our 1 year anniversary in Napa this past March. I had been feeling a little low on energy and not my absolute best, which brought to the forefront the desire to make sure my body was as healthy as possible and functioning as … [Read more...]

Given that we were #blessed with perfect weather this weekend (sunny and a little cool), David and I decided to get out of the city to enjoy some time in the suburbs. We drove to charming Princeton, New Jersey where we checked into a hotel, had lunch at Nassau Seafood Company After lunch  I grabbed the spiciest chai latte I've ever had at small world coffee which was so good. After, we … [Read more...]

This weekend was more of the same as last weekend with home improvement projects, stocking the fridge and tying up some loose ends for my Green Your Diet 7-Day Challenge. I'm really loving some of the down time I've had the past two weekends to re-charge and get grounded. As an introvert, I find I need this regularly and it's important to honor that for myself. On Saturday, I took some time for … [Read more...]
