You can do anything for 30 days, right? That’s what I told myself this evening when I signed up for an unlimited month of classes at a local workout studio. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll likely never be one of those self-motivated people who can pump herself up to go to the gym and do a self-guided workout. As much as ...

If you follow me on Facebook, you'll notice that I've posted lots of pictures of my yummy salads that I've been eating for lunch everyday. Like this one: I am so fortunate to have a great breakfast/lunch place on the first level of the building I work in. It has literally been life-changing for me because for awhile there, I had been eating Kashi ...
Sports Illustrated 2011 Swimsuit Issue— Thoughts on “Curvy” and Body Talk
This weekend, Candice and I went and saw "Just Go With It," and I have to say, we laughed so hard we cried during some scenes. It was that funny. Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler and movie newcomer, model Brooklyn Decker were awesome together. Definitely a feel-good and hilarious movie. I was thrilled when Sports Illustrated ...

OOTD, A Yoga Stretch Workout & YouTube Fitness Gurus
I couldn't resist immediately wearing my new BCBG purchases so my OOTD involves my new BCBG skirt and top. PS- I am totally getting a new full-length mirror for our bedroom because I hate having the distractions of our living room in the background of all of my photos. Don't get me wrong, I love our living room, but NOT as a backdrop.Here it ...
Motivation Mondays: Leah- makeup artist, girly girl and home-gym friendly!
I am very excited about today's "Motivation Mondays" post, because a beautiful friend of mine from high school agreed to share her beauty tricks and secrets with us...and it's all coming from a professional makeup artist, since that is what she does as her career.

Motivation Mondays and Lately I’m Loving (Holy Grail Products!!!)
Don't get too excited ladies, I don't have a real "Motivation Monday" interview to post today, but I will update you all on how I am doing with my fitness. Yesterday I posted that I finally fit back into size 4 pants which I haven't done in a few years (I'm typically a 6, which is great, but I wanted to get back down to a 4 because I was carrying ...
A New Year: Make Better, Not Make-Over
Elle Magazine's January issue featured an entire section about "making better" (instead of the dreaded "making-over".)I thought this was a really positive message- because after all, most women want to be true to who they are when making improvements, not made-over into someone they hardly recognize.I admittedly got sucked-in by the ads promoting ...
Motivation Mondays- A Personal Training Experience
I know I haven't done "Motivational Mondays" in forever. One of my friends is in the midst of myweddingisamonthaway hardcore wedding planning, so I've forgiven her lateness with her responses (I promise they will be totally worth it when I do post them!)So today, I'm going to talk about the progress I've been making with my fitness. Granted, I ...
Black Friday Madness and Spin Class Awesomeness
Yesterday, after I awoke from my post-Black Friday shopping trip nap, I took a spin class at my gym for the first time. My bestie Candice told me it would be "hard, but worth it," and she was right.The thing about spin class, is that it passes by so quickly. That hour is over in a flash. I also love the upbeat music they play. It's so motivating ...
