Oh, it’s the very last day of 2011. I can’t believe it’s here! We all wonder what is on the horizon for us in 2012. When we look back next year, what will have happened? I ask myself before the start of every year. But all I can say to you today is that we [...]
I’ve been in a major slump. I mean major. In all aspects of my life, it’s been a hard year, and I am ready to close the books on 2011 for good. With all the curveballs thrown my way this year, I lost site of me: my health, my fitness, my well-being. This is definitely [...]
When I was first approached to review Gaiam TV, the first thing that came to my mind was yoga. The prospect of reviewing anything yoga related made me pretty excited. I love yoga. I mean, I really LOVE yoga. Unfortunately, the crazy that surrounds my life doesn’t allow me to attend my beloved hot yoga [...]
I was doing the weekly grocery shopping I hate grocery shopping and came upon these new cookies. They are called WhoNu? nutrition rich cookies. I was pretty skeptical. How could cookies be nutrition rich and still be good? I decided the only way to find out was to buy some and give them a try. [...]

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a publicist touting this book: Stress Less, Weigh Less. Normally I read and then delete 90% of those emails because they don’t apply to this site, or they don’t mesh with my thoughts on leading a healthy lifestyle. But I was intrigued about this book, Stress [...]
I try really hard not to pick up ‘fast food’ very often, but as a mom of two young children, I have to be honest…there are days when the only way we’re all getting fed is if I grab something quick. Thankfully, for those days, I have Subway. Subway has been my go-to for fast, [...]

UPDATE — I’d likely to congratulate Adah and Brookefor being the two winners. Congratulations, ladies!! If I could target any one part of my body to tone up overnight, it would definitely be my abs and core. But honestly, I cannot stand resistance work. I don’t do it nearly often enough, and the idea of [...]
I’m taking a review of sorts, a review of me. You see, I have become complacent these last few months, especially the last month. There has been a beach vacation and then a lake vacation and lots of Summer activities. I have the three kiddos home with me and my husband has been traveling for [...]
So today is supposed to be review it Saturday and I don’t have anything to review, at least not with any authority. I have some new things I’ve purchased recently like a pair of Aqua Sphere Vista swim goggles but I’ve only used them once. I have a new cycling helmet I’ve had a few [...]
I was asked to review the new book from Special K. It is called “The Special K Challenge and Beyond.” I was a little leary because I had seen all the ads for the Special K challenge. I’m not the kind of girl who can eat two meals a day and snacks of a product [...]

I’m going to be honest, folks. I get up in just enough time to get showered, dressed, and to work. Sitting down to breakfast is not an option. I need something that is healthy, quick, and simple. I was recently given a chance to try the two new varieties of Kellogg’s® Special K® bars. When [...]
