While we were vacationing in Italy last month, my first nephew, Reed Thomas, was born on July 1. Now that my sister and her husband have had some time to get acquainted with their baby, it was time for a much-anticipated visit to Louisville, Ky. It was a quick trip but we made the most of our time there.  Reed is all boy and loves to eat and sleep. My mom says he knows exactly what he … [Read more...]

We all know them. Those women who seem to glow from the inside out. They're healthy and happy and they make it seem effortless. Have you ever wondered about the habits of healthy, happy women you know? First, let's talk about the title of my book, Your Holistically Hot Transformation. If you've read it or follow me on social media, then you get what it means to be 'holistically hot,' … [Read more...]

A rainy weekend called for laying low. Friday night was date night at one of our favorite restaurants for fresh seafood, Seamore's. It's always hard to get a table there but Summertime is usually less busy at most restaurants so we had no trouble on a Friday night. Saturday I hit the beach for a few hours before the rain started and Sunday we had a couples Baby Shower in Long Island City (LIC), … [Read more...]

Let there be no doubt about it, I love running. If you've read this blog for any length of time or know me personally, you know this.  I've trained for triathlons of various distances, marathons, half marathons and I regularly run New York Road Runner races.  But what works for us at one time in our life, doesn't necessarily work for us at others. I've found that to be true of … [Read more...]

In an effort to inject a more personal element into my blog (and share pretty pictures that have nothing to do with health and wellness), I'm starting a new semi-regular series I'll call Notes from the Weekend, where I'll provide a short recap of the weekend's activities. I've always talked about it being difficult for me to get too personal on this blog, paired with the fact that I don't think my … [Read more...]

Let's be real. Most people already know what they should be doing to be healthy and happy, but they're not doing it. IMO, that's reason enough for why you need a Health Coach.  When I speak with potential clients, they rattle off long lists of what they think they should be eating (salad) and what they think they should be doing (working out) - there's more to wellness than salads and … [Read more...]

Wondering why you're always hungry?  I consult with hundreds of women every month who want to lose weight, finally free themselves of fad dieting and have a healthier relationship with food. In my conversations with these women, many of the same themes come up time and again. Among the more popular is the question, "why am I always hungry?"  There's no magic answer, but these are a few … [Read more...]

Tonight I'm off for 2 weeks to Italy and Greece! To say I'm excited is an understatement, but before I can bask in the sun, sand and surf, I have to pack! I've always been a serious over-packer and because of it -  truth be told, I dread packing, but I can't leave without a few summer must haves. With practice and effort, I'm getting better at taking only what I need. Less is really more … [Read more...]
