Hi! This week is totally nuts but really amazing at the same time. As much as I hoped it was allergies, I’m pretty certain I have a cold. The worst part is that it has been going since Friday and presents itself with different symptoms every day ranging from a stuffy nose to nausea to [...]

Fireplace Coziness, Scandal & Recent Eats
November 21, 2013 { 11 comments }Morning. It’s cold and gray in Charlotte this morning. Perfect weather for the first fire of the season last night. Fires and candles make things so cozy. Especially for watching my newest obsession Scandal. This show is highly addictive. I started watching it on Netflix a few weeks ago and I’m already halfway through season two. [...]

Workouts + A New PR + Eats
September 11, 2013 { 10 comments }Hi everyone! I’m currently en route to Mumford & Sons in a borrowed Honda Odyssey with seven other girls. It’s a two hour drive to the concert venue so I’m trying to knock out some work since I had to leave so early today (and update you guys!) before an evening of tailgating, music and [...]

Humbled And Redeemed
May 3, 2012 { 16 comments }Fact: I suck at wall balls. And I don’t just mean that they’re hard and I don’t like doing them…I mean that I physically cannot perform them correctly. Rather than an effortless catch/squat/toss, I’m more slam into my chest with straight legs and hurl. It took some serious convincing to get me to do last [...]

What The Weekend Looked Like
April 1, 2012 { 30 comments }It was a low-key weekend in Charlotte and just what I needed in preparation for a busy April. Here are the highlights in photos. Saturday lunch. Trader Joe’s Masala burger on an English muffin with avocado, spinach, cheddar, sprouts and ketchup. Finishing up the 7-day green smoothie challenge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-dRbzPrhvE&feature=youtu.be Sullie gets a bath. And is [...]

So Much Yoga
February 2, 2012 { 15 comments }It’s been a yoga-rific week. Over the past three days I have taught ELEVEN classes/privates. While I love yoga with all my heart, I do not even want to say the words “inhale upward facing dog, exhale downward facing dog” right now. And I’ve only been able to personally practice one day this week and [...]

Busy Week Eats and Lollihop Winner
December 2, 2011 { 3 comments }In case you haven’t noticed, this week has been a little crazy and I have been focused on things other than the blog. Apologies. Even when I’m busy and stressed, I try my best to get good meals in. It can be a challenge because sometimes I lose my appetite when I’m stressed and the last [...]

Thanksgiving and Cheesecake Torching
November 24, 2011 { 11 comments }Well, Thanksgiving 2011 is in the books and the feast may have been one of the best ever! I started my day with pie baking, a run and some yoga before setting up shop in the kitchen for the next five hours. I love Thanksgiving. More so than Christmas. I love that the focus is more [...]

I can’t stop looking at it! ;) So when I wasn’t making googly eyes at my blog this weekend, I was doing all kinds of fun non-computer things like cooking, teaching and [...]

Lulu Love
September 16, 2010 { 12 comments }And I’m watching the Rachel Zoe Project again. This is seriously a problem – I’m obsessed. She’s trying to cook in this episode and she’s clueless. I’m loving it! It makes me feel less bad about having no fashion sense! ;) I went to ashtanga this morning for all of 20 minutes…and then I rolled [...]

Deficient
September 14, 2010 { 3 comments }I mentioned last week that I had blood work done just as a check. It had been years since I’d been thoroughly tested and given my recent activity level and diet I thought it was a good idea. I received a call from the nurse today that everything looked great but I am vitamin D [...]
