You either love Vegas or you hate it. Even though we don't gamble or stay out past Midnight, David and I are in the love camp. We love the weather, the restaurants, the shopping and the shows.  It had been a few years since we last visited, so we decided it was time to go back. With Hermine in the forecast for the long weekend, we were glad to be Vegas-bound  - guaranteed sunshine for … [Read more...]

At the beginning of this year, I knew I wanted to put a bigger focus on my own health and well-being after spending years focused on building and growing my business.

With temps soaring toward 100 degrees this weekend, David and I agreed that the only place to be was on the water or in the water, so that's exactly what we did.  Friday night we boarded the New York Health & Racquet Club Yacht for a sunset cruise. We've been meaning to do this ever since we joined the gym two years ago and finally made it happen. We gave it a 10 for the views and a … [Read more...]

It's been six eight months since I've been living my life with an activity tracker glued to my arm day and night and now I can't imagine life without one so I thought I'd write an update on how this little gadget has changed my life for the better and -- also the worst.  I use a Garmin Vivofit with a black band because I got it at a blogger event in late 2014. I used it for a … [Read more...]
