A Message Through Music

I’ve mentioned in previous posts about how music can be a real de-stressor. Today I want to discuss how music has many more powers than that alone. For instance, music can be a way for you to send a message to someone.

I think… for those of us born before the 90s… we all remember making mixed tapes (or CDs) for our best friends and boyfriends/girlfriends. We knew that a potential high school…

Spring Cleaning

This year it isn’t all about making sure the house is spot free!

Around this time of year I start packing up my long sleeve shirts, snow boots and puffy coat to bid farewell to winter. Before summer can come rushing in, I make room in my closets for my flips flops, tank tops and sundresses. Usually I take this opportunity to assess whether clothes are worth keeping. No matter how hard I try…

Something Special

The world lost something special today when Dorothy Henngeler passed away. She was everyone’s best friend. Her smile lit every room she entered. She lived and breathed Ravens purple. Celebrated her roots. Rocked a fierce red lip. She was a proud aunt and a great friend. And the most special thing about her… she knew how to make you feel like family even when you weren’t.

I’m really just fortunate…

The Movie Double Header

Get lost in the movies once in a while

While life can’t be all fun all the time, I’m a big fan of scheduling some guaranteed fun into my week. When I am having fun, life just doesn’t get the chance to bother me!

This Sunday, my boyfriend and I planned to see a movie. Following a solid workout in the morning, we found ourselves in the back row of the theater, surrounded by teenagers with their…

Annual Physical

This week I went for my annual physical. These annual appointments, while a hassle to plan around, are really important to my health and completely painless. With strong family histories of cancer (colon, liver, lung and breast), I’m a candidate for some early screenings. Add in the fact that I have a whole host of other things…

Ripple Effect

I knew it was going well when she turned to me and said (with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face) “I hate you so much right now.”

My mom, which I think I have mentioned before, is one cool chick. She does all the things a good mom does. She takes care of me when I’m sick, tells me when I’m being ridiculous, and supports me through life’s ups and downs. This lady though, she takes it a step…

Brighten Your Surroundings

With my two roommates having recently moved out, I found myself suddenly left with a lot of unused space. I have two empty bedrooms on the first floor of my house. Not only does an empty room look depressing, but it also results in a lot of echoes when you walk by. I had no idea that emptiness could be so loud!

I love the custom-designed chair in my living room.

I think you see where this is…

Binge Thinking

Binge Thinking: A massive burst of brain activity, in one sitting focused on one topic or activity.

Take a second and let it sink in. I know that definition probably just blew your mind. Earlier in the day when I saw it in a magazine, it really made me pause. With my tendency to overanalyze, I’m sure this phrase will end up in my regular rotation.

Here is what makes this phrase so brilliant……

Knowing your limits

Know your limits when it comes to exercise. Back pain is serious and should not be ignored.

When I started this blog, I started a program called Insanity. A 64-day program, Insanity combines serious cardio, strength and plyometrics to completely whip your rear end in shape. The 4 weeks was really intense. My body would start profusely sweating at the first hint of a lunge, jump or push up in…
