Let’s talk oil. You don’t slather it on your skin. You don’t swallow it by the spoonful. And you don’t soak your food (or yourself) in it. With oil pulling, you swish it. Yep. In your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes. (Insert imminent ‘that’s what she said’ joke here) This Ayurvedic method has been [...]
Lately I’ve been tackling a lot of problems, making a lot of huge decisions. Sometimes the list of pros and cons make a choice obvious, but sometimes there is no black nor white, just a shmear of gray. What then? I’m learning that sometimes you just have to follow your instincts. One huge decision I’ve [...]

I looked at the calendar this morning and couldn’t believe it was already May 22. We are almost half-way through the year. HOW did that happen? I don’t know about you, but I set goals at the beginning of the year, and now I’m just home from an 8-Day Disney Cruise with a few extra [...]
Strength. What does it mean to you? Is it physical? Is it mental? Is it both? Think about it. I’ve had it on my mind a lot the last few days. It first came to mind on Thursday morning. It was preschool olympics. A girl I work with and I were filling coolers with ice [...]
Good morning runner lady friends! It’s time to check in from last week and let me know how the running is going. Are you successfully completing each day?

As the medical world merges with technology and science, the information and studies produced tell us much more about our bodies today than in the past. More people understand why their bodies react a certain way and are able to recognize a symptom versus a common bodily function. This has led to the education and [...]
I think of myself as an average person. A person who is just doing her best to get back in shape after years of neglect for my body. For the first time in a long time, I am serious about making this fitness and exercise journey mean something. I am serious about making it right. [...]
Meet our next featured runner- Ginny. She lives in Texas, just like me (and millions of others- ha!).

Have you liked The Run at the Sisterhood [...]
Despite what mainstream marketing would have you believe, fat does not make you fat. Quite the opposite actually; our bodies actually need fat to function properly. Fat helps the absorption of vitamins, keeps you satiated, and even helps you shed pounds. That’s right; you need to eat fat to lose fat! As with any food, [...]

It is known as royalty among its counterparts, often referred to ask the ‘queen’ or ‘king’ of greens. You can put it in a smoothie, juice it, make chips of it, use it as a wrap, put it in a salad, or just eat it as is. I am, of course, talking about KALE. Kale, [...]
I’m curious to know how many of you out in the ‘hood lift weights? Have you tried, half-heartedly, and given up? Did/do you feel lost and intimidated when you look at a stack of dumbbells? Are you worried about getting hurt? Or are you in the weights setion of your gym with the big boys [...]
