Today David and I celebrate three years of marriage and this week we’re going to Napa for a celebratory getaway. I couldn’t have hit the jackpot any better with my husband, but no relationship is perfect. We have our ups and downs like any other couple, but I truly feel we were made to be together. He’s an extrovert… Read More
Chances are you’ve heard of Bulletproof Coffee, black coffee that trades the traditional cream and sugar for grass-fed butter and MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil. Bulletproof Coffee was first introduced by Dave Asprey, the creator of the Bulletproof Diet, and is said to kickstart metabolism and burn fat while increasing energy and focus. But, if like me, you’re not a coffee-drinker… Read More
Embarrassingly, I haven’t left New York City since I got back from our trip to Dubai. If you live here, you understand that thriving here means leaving the city from time to time. (i.e. as often as possible). So David and I packed up the car last Friday and decided to spend a winter weekend in Vermont. Truthfully, I just… Read More
It’s March and while you had good intentions with diet and exercise at the beginning of this year, now is the time when things start to slip.

I find plenty of people are interested, but… Read More
One of my long-time readers recently requested a blog post on how to get everything done in a day. My first thought was that I’m not qualified to write about how to get everything done in a day because I rarely ever do and then I decided that’s exactly what makes me qualified to write a post on the topic! … Read More

I’m someone who spends most of my days in Lycra, so managing my sweat is necessary. When I’m not teaching, I’m taking a barre class or running from the studio to meetings so I need something that will keep me dry. That sounds easy enough, but lately, I’ve recommitted to using natural products because we all know that what… Read More
