I’ve been singing the praises of the latest pilates-meets-cardio-meets-strength-training-meets-ballet workout that is Chaise23. Mostly because I’ve been exercising for half of my life and it’s rare I find a workout that challenges me in such a way that it creates results – and fast.

Every morning I comb the wellness blogs and web sites in search of health and happiness tidbits for the day. I always land at The Well Daily, one of my favorite sources for the latest on wellness trends and information. It’s like my daily dose of health and happiness all in one site.

I have one requirement for weeknight dinners out with friends: it has to be healthy. Weekends can be more lax but I lack to stay on track on weeknights.
