The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Ladies. It’s officially Spring, which means the start of WEDDING SEASON!!! A season that motivates you to look and feel your best as a bride, bridesmaid, or guest. Why? Because Wedding Season includes LOTS of pictures where you are immortalized on camera for years to come. Perhaps your bridal gown is strapless. Maybe
“Here We Go Again”… …a continuation of trying new classes, pushing myself through new physical challenges, and exploring more of the insane fitness world that the island of Manhattan has to offer. Recently, my go-to-fitness partner Lauren and I had off the same holiday and decided to try a studio that we passed on our way
Jumping at New Opportunities! Here we go! In an effort to motivate others to try new experiences on the road toward wellness, I am chronicling my conscious journey of trying new things and how I felt before, during, and after the experience. About a month ago, a friend of mine suggested taking a SoulCycle class in Manhattan. I jumped at

It’s incredible how strong a movement, a scent, a look, a sunset, a photo, a movie, a dream, or a song can elicit memories from your past, contemplations of your present, and worries or excitements towards your future.

This has been a year of profound realizations for me. Personally and professionally. The holiday season always gets me verklempt and this year is no different. The lights, sounds, scents, gatherings, general feelings of positivity and love…gets me every time! I recognized how #blessed, but earnestly, how RICH I am. I have been blessed with great health:
I have a secret: I am truly living! With a summer spent enjoying each moment of my days, rich with family, friends, and special memories, I was able to reconnect to my passions, rejuvenate myself, and reinvigorate my zest for the here and now. My heart and mind have been grounded, mindful, thankful; I feel as though I
Hi readers! I am back! You don’t need to hear my excuses (“life got so busy”, lack of time, inspiration, yada, yada) but my life has been blessed, my days have been happily occupied, and my heart has been full. I am swelling with pride over the accomplishments of my family and friends recently. I WANT
Think about this: How do you stay focused, committed, and consistent with the aspects of your life that are important to you? Prioritize. Now, think about this: How can we make our goals, dreams, and aspirations a TOP priority? I have been feeling inconsistent lately. Especially in these times of inconsistent weather and fluctuating schedules; I
