Wanderlust Wednesday: Wellness & Fitness Retreats

When wanderlust hits me, I tend to look at far away places like Paris, the Maldives, Cabo, Bali, Australia, London, Italy… Heck, I would just love to be on a beach somewhere soaking up the sunshine, digging my toes in the sand, and not having a care in the world. But recently, I have been looking at fitness and wellness retreats like New Horizon Escapes, and Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona. There are more retreats detailed HERE. Fitness retreats like these offer people the opportunity to get healthier, not to mention fitter, stronger, and hopefully happier. New Horizon Escapes […]

How to Live a Simpler Life

As I look around my house, I realize I’ve got a lot of “stuff” and that this “stuff”, if I let it, could get out of hand and begin to look like a cluttered mess.

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.

But I also love the look of a classy coat, like these from Bloomingdale’s. Photo Source: Bloomingdale’s 1. SAM. Freestyle Down Jacket […]

Out with the Old, In with the New

2015 has come and gone. Today is the first day of a new year and the possibilities are endless. Out with the old and in with the new. I decided that instead of “new year’s resolutions”, I’m going to make small goals for myself. 1. Wake up when the first alarm goes off in the morning. 2. Get healthier by making some wiser eating and workout choices. 3. Blog more consistently, about topics that interest me and hopefully my readers. These are the first goals I’m working on for the first quarter of this year. Did you make any New […]
