This article first appeared in purely elizabeth's Purely Summer magazine.  How you start your morning sets the tone and intention for the rest of your day. I'm such a morning person that I often wish that my days were made up entirely of mornings. It's when I'm most productive and focused. Whether you do 10 things in the morning or just one, having a consistent morning routine can make or break … [Read more...]

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...]

August is always a weird month for me. One one hand, I know we still have several more weeks of summer to look forward to, but on the other, I'm painfully aware with every Facebook friend posting back-t0-school pictures of their kids, that Fall is creeping up. In August, I also stop buying summer clothes and start to look ahead to Fall trends.  So, when POPSUGAR sent me the Pop Sugar … [Read more...]

It's been awhile since I shared what a Health Coach eats in a day, and since I have last, a few things have changed for me. For one, I've really refined my eating habits to more optimally support my goals and that meant cutting out sugar (for good), gluten and dairy, really cutting back on alcohol and eating grains in moderation. My meals now truly fuel me and I get much more … [Read more...]

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...]
