Fitness is not only about the physical aspects of actually “working out”, but nowadays, you have to look good while sweating. Athleisure wear is making its way out of the gym and into daily life. Women are wearing leggings and yoga pants for everything from shopping, lunching, and partying with friends, to date night with the boyfriend or a girl’s night out. As much as I love the idea of athleisure wear, I’m looking for comfortable and stylish workout clothes, like the ones at Fabletics. Here’s what I’m wishing for right now… Winn Mid Rise Short Boyshorts Olive Capri Salar Leggings […]
Curly Hair, Don’t Care… But I Do Care!
I love my naturally curly hair, but sometimes I’m not “in love” with my curls! There are days when I want to go “G.I. Jane” and shave it all off. Not only is my hair curly, and sometimes unruly, but it is mousy reddish-brown, thinning (thanks to being in surgical menopause), and graying at the roots. Since I was 16, I have had a love-hate relationship with my hair. The summer between my freshman and sophomore year in high school, I used Sun-In to lighten my hair. In my sophomore class photo, my hair was orange. My senior year in […]
Wanderlust Wednesday: Travel by Train
Most people cannot afford to travel around the world, flying from one location to another, checking your luggage, handing over your passport, and not to mention, sitting in cramped seats on airlines (hello, we can’t all afford private planes) or getting seasick on a cruise. So why not see the world from a different perspective? By TRAIN! Traveling by train can either be inexpensive or luxurious. If you’re open to not having a set itinerary, then traveling by train may be a great way to see the world, including sites in the USA, Europe, India, or China. So why not […]
Show Your Love Some Love
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and the time has come to really show your love some love. Despite the fact that some people think Valentine’s Day has become too commercialized with all the cards, flowers, chocolates, and heart-shaped gifts, Valentine’s Day is still a very romantic day! So I’ve compiled a short list of gifts that any woman would love to receive.

Winter Styles You’ll Want to Copy
The first and second big snows of 2016 have hit the East and I must say, I love it! I love the look of stylish winter coats, and like many other women, I try to incorporate the styles I see on the street into my own personal style. Right now, I toggle back and forth between my Harley Davidson coat and my grandfather’s railroad puffer jacket (which makes me feel like he’s always got his arms around me). But I also love the look of a classy coat, like these from Bloomingdale’s. Photo Source: Bloomingdale’s 1. SAM. Freestyle Down Jacket […]
