I’m always on the pulse of the latest and greatest in fitness here in NYC, so when ClassPass (formerly Classtivity), a monthly service that gives members access to the best studios in their city ($99 gets you 10 classes per month), gave me the chance to try them out for a month, I was happy to oblige. At first I… Read More
For anyone tired of run-of-the-mill nut butters, may I suggest Beyond Sushi nut butters. I tried their Sunflower Halva Vanilla Nut Butter and we managed to polish off an entire jar before I could snap a picture! This creamy spread has a surprising flavor that manages to be sweet and savory at the same time. I went into Beyond… Read More
Exercise has always been a non-negotiable part of my day. So I need to have the right gear and classes to keep me motivated. I’ve found that having a new top or a fun class to look forward to is key.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from living in NYC and starting my own business, it’s that you gotta hustle to get the reward. I’ve been so fortunate to meet many other female entrepreneurs who “get it”, including my friend, Nicole, the founder of TasteDaily.

Fake ingredients parade as healthy ones, added sugars galore and the list goes on. So, when Core Foods sent me a sample variety pack of their Core Defender Meals, a raw, vegan, high… Read More

Since I’m athletic, I’ve always liked the cardiovascular meets spiritual benefits of a Vinyasa practice. Then a few years ago I fell in love with Hot Vinyasa. Because I like to sweat. When Gilt City advertised a deal with… Read More
