How do you put the best day — weekend — of your life into words? I’m not sure I can do ur wedding in Mexico justice. I started to write a full wedding recap in one post, but there was just too much so I decided to split it up into short posts, two maybe three. We’ll see how it… Read More
We’re slowly getting over our jet lag and coming down from the best week of our lives in Mexico, our wedding week. My Rx for jet lag: plenty of sleep, cutting back on workouts, eating super healthy, nixing the alcohol- and of course, throwing in a smoothie bowl here and there. After our six mile race in Central Park on Saturday,… Read More
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dove. I received a product sample and promotional item to thank me for my participation.” I’m back from my wedding festivities in Mexico and I don’t know if it was spending 10 days living on the beach waking up to perfect weather and meditating to the sounds of waves… Read More

I started to equate eating a perfect diet with being perfect. Being virtuous meant eating grilled fish and steamed vegetables all day, everyday. Straying from clean food brought an… Read More
Letting Go … After the most magical bridal weekend in Louisville where I celebrated my upcoming nuptials with my family and closest friends, my travel back to New York City has been anything but. A true practice in letting go. Two cancelled flights, a 4 a.m. wake-up for the first flight out and now a five-hour delay because of mechanical issues… Read More
I try a lot of workouts and take a lot of classes, but with very few do I fall in love. Body Conceptions by Mahri is one of those classes I just love to take. Mahri is a personal friend of mine and also formerly a professional dancer, trainer at the Tracy Anderson method and Creative Director at FlyBarre. Her signature… Read More
Yes, I did use the words “favorite” and “treadmill” in the same sentence, but these days I relish my treadmill workouts. I read a New York Times article recently about treadmill workouts (The Drudgery of Treadmills). It explored why most people find the treadmill, often called the “dread mill,” more difficult compared to outdoor workouts. The study it referenced found that the treadmill… Read More
