I got a coupon in my email last night for 40% off of one book at BORDERS so H and I hit the bookstore this morning to pick up a few books. Some of you may know this already and others may not...but H and I are going to Paris for Christmas and London for New Years (eekkk!) We are SO excited! Although I was born in Europe, I have only ever been back ...

Finally Colored My Hair & Weekend Shopping (Some OOTD’s too!)
I am SO HAPPY today! You know how I was all nervous about getting my hair done and going to a new person to get my hair colored? Well, I think a picture says a thousand words: I am THRILLED with the way my hair turned out! I went to Stephanie at Cutloose and she totally understood exactly what I wanted. I am SO happy I found such ...
Favorite YouTube Fitness Channels & Looks I’m Loving Now
Happy Friday everyone! I am so happy it's Friday. As I wrote in a previous post this week I have just been exhausted and I can't figure out why...just one of those weeks, I guess. I got home from work today and plopped onto the couch. I contemplated skipping my 6:30 Pilates class but my 2 Sprinkles Cupcakes that I consumed ...
2011 Health & Fitness Goals & Help Me Make a (Hair) Decision
Happy Wednesday everyone! It's been a pretty busy week for me but I've been able to stick to my classes and did Pilates yesterday and today. I was thinking about my fitness goals for 2011 and as I was looking through some old photos on my laptop, I saw the one below from the day after our wedding. We had laid out at the pool at our ...
Motivation Mondays: Audrina Patridge Works it Out
Today's Motivation Monday features Audrina Patridge of "The Hills" and "Dancing with the Stars" fame. Obviously I don't know her so I didn't get to interview her like I usually do for this feature, but I did find a few of her fitness tips online and am compiling them in this entry. I am obsessed with the blog Hills Freak and I always admire ...
Weekend Wrap-Up & New Tiled Capiz Table Lamp from West Elm
I was kind of in a bad mood this weekend. It all started when on Saturday after Pilates class I walked to my car and saw that someone had left their poor barking little dog in the car for the entire class. They had ONE window cracked and the dog was barking incessantly (what dog likes to be left in the car alone after all.) It just ...
CONTEST WINNER: Sephora Giftcard, 1000 Plus Subscriber Contest
Happy Saturday everyone! We just got back from seeing The Social Network and it was really good! It was really interesting to see how it all began and all of the history/drama behind it. As someone who uses and loves Facebook, I would say it's a must-see for anyone who also loves (or even hates) the site. I am very excited to announce that ...
OOTD: The Black Dress With a Twist
Good evening ladies! I hope everyone had a great day today. I had an incredible and inspiring day. I will talk about this more in a separate post because it really deserves its own post. I am working on an event right now with children who are cancer survivors and they and their families have really made me see life in a new ...
Cardio Fail & An OOTD
I AM SO OUT OF SHAPE! Yes, that deserved to be in all caps. I was all confident about my fitness since starting Pilates again, but my utter and total lack of endurance has made cardio extra hellish for me. I tried to use my elliptical today and made it to just about 15 minutes before I thought I'd literally plop over and collapse. ...
We Got An Elliptical, Some OOTD’s & OPI’s “Midnight in Moscow” Polish
Hello ladies! We made it through another Tuesday! Today was an exciting day for me because we got an elliptical machine! The wonders of Facebook connected me with a friend who was selling hers and so we got this lovely elliptical for just $100. It's so essential for me to get cardio since I quit the gym so this will be perfect for ...
