For the past two hours, I have been perusing Pinterest, clicking on links, and reading blog posts by other bloggers about fashion, beauty rituals, Coachella, as well as watching a few DIY and “how-to” videos. But for the past 30 minutes, I have been reading other blogger’s “101 things in 1001 days lists.” I thought to myself, “What a cool idea!” Who inspired me to do this list? It was two bloggers… first was Kate from Kate The Almost Great, and she pointed me in the direction of Mackenzie Horan at Design Darling, who put together her first list together in 2011.

10 Tips to Developing a Fitness Plan
Last month, I joined a three-month weight management program. The New-U Wellness program includes three one-on-one health coaching sessions, two small group training exercise sessions per week, and a fitness assessment at the beginning and end of the program. A couple of weeks ago, I had my first one-on-one health coaching session and here’s what I learned.

Celebrity Dinner Party: SNL Edition
Have you ever been asked this question? “Who would you invite to a dinner party, dead or alive?” I would have dinner parties every weekend – both Friday and Saturday nights – because my guest list is sooooooooo long! Who would be my first guests, you ask? I would have some of my favorite female Saturday Night Live veterans – Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Molly Shannon.

What’s Your Sign?
Whether you’re a Capricorn like me, or a Taurus like my mom, there’s a perfect nail polish designed just for you. I love red nail polish, but I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone and experimenting with some other colors. I’ve got several Chanel nail polishes including my faves, Forbidden (gifted to me by a friend) and Pulsion (a limited edition I purchased while visiting Chicago). I also got a Formula X in a taupe color (#254), and a OPI Nail Envy in Hawaiian Orchid. When I get my first mani-pedi of the Spring, I usually opt for something […]
