I have been soaking up peach season and stocking up on fresh South Carolina peaches weekly. My favorite way to eat peaches is peel, slice and enjoy them plain (I’m not a peach fuzz lover…I need that off my peach before eating it!) But I also love to get creative with them…grilled peaches with ice [...]

TCBY is now offering a dairy-free frozen yogurt made from Silk Almond Milk. I swung by on my way home from working out, training and teaching at the gym tonight for a little sweet treat. [...]

Recent Eats (All Over the Place!) + Digital Fatigue
March 30, 2014 { 12 comments }I hope you’re all enjoying the weekend. I didn’t get a chance to check in yesterday because the first copy deadline for my book is April 1 and I have been covered up trying to knock that out. I was out with a friend last night and she asked how I was doing. I replied [...]

Weekend: Furniture, FroYo and Yoga Clothes
March 9, 2014 { 12 comments }It has been the most beautiful weekend here in Charlotte. Blue skies and 70+ degrees. Happy! It was so nice to have a weekend at home for the first time in several weeks. I spent my time catching up, running errands, working around the house and teaching. I can’t wait to share my ALDI trip [...]

Pinkberry + Saturday Stuff + Sushi
August 12, 2013 { 17 comments }Some weekend photos for you. It was a perfect mix of fun and un-fun. Fun included everything you see below, un-fun included paying $85 to replace my shattered iPhone screen, having a HVAC technician out to my house for the FOURTH time this summer because my air quit on me again and dealing with a [...]

A Better Sunday
April 21, 2013 { 8 comments }How can you not smile when you get to look at this face all day? Please look at those paws. I need to take her in for a trim but I love her little slipper feet so much. Today was a better day than yesterday. Starting with a new nut butter at breakfast this morning. [...]

Sunday Yoga Day
February 10, 2013 { 8 comments }My Sunday mornings have become pretty routine over the past couple of years. Light breakfast and coffe while finalizing playlist, sequence and message for my hot class, teach a 90 minute class to the most amazing yogis, post-yoga brunch with friends and then grocery shopping and house organization. I like it. I don’t like to [...]

A Good Start
October 2, 2012 { 54 comments }Thank you for your comments, e-mails, Tweets and messages. Each and every one was humbling and touching beyond words. I do feel lucky and grateful to be a part of such a powerful network of women (and some men!). Each day presents a new challenge and lesson to be learned. A friend of mine forwarded [...]

Summer Saturday
August 26, 2012 { 17 comments }Saturday was such a good day. The weather in Charlotte is incredible this weekend and I’ve been soaking it up as much as possible. So much so that instead of yoga or CrossFitting Saturday morning, I did this… Ran! I set out to run 3 or 4 but I felt so good that I ended [...]

Cute And Sweet
August 6, 2012 { 28 comments }I hope that your week is off to a great start. In case you don’t follow PBR on Facebook, I must share this photo that I posted this morning. And if you do follow me there, who doesn’t want to see this cuteness again? It makes me happy every time I look at it. (source) [...]

Golden Bowl
July 11, 2012 { 30 comments }I went to college at the University of Georgia in Athens. It’s pretty much the best college town ever. The downtown is walking distance from campus and full of bars, shops and great restaurants. I was first introduced to true vegetarian cuisine in Athens at The Grit. I enjoyed many delicious dinners and hungover brunches [...]

Sunday Perfection
May 20, 2012 { 19 comments }It’s been a perfect Sunday. All play, no work. Pink (no green added) smoothie for breakfast before teaching yoga (that does not count as work…it’s play!). Strawberries, banana, pineapple, mango, coconut almond milk and banana protein powder. Brunch at Original Pancake House after teaching. Started out by hydrating – freshly squeezed OJ, coffee and water. [...]

A Sad Dinner And A Happy Dessert
March 27, 2012 { 30 comments }It’s going to be a hot topic this week so get ready but I have to give a shout to all the 7-Day Green Smoothie Challenge participants. We’re up to about 85 now! I am LOVING all of the recipe suggestions and have so many ideas for new combos to try this week. I stepped [...]

Spring Fever
March 16, 2012 { 17 comments }The official first day of Spring may not be for a few more days but it’s arrived in full force here in Charlotte. It’s been a beautiful week and everyone is out enjoying the perfect weather and sunshine. There’s something about the beginning of warmer and longer days that is so energizing. There were tons [...]

Sullie Goes To Work
March 10, 2012 { 19 comments }I had a good Friday but Sullie had a REALLY great Friday. I started my day with an early morning yoga practice and apple cinnamon oatmeal before heading into the office. (How sick are you of my oatmeal kick?) I came home for lunch and made a classic lunch combo – grilled cheese and tomato [...]

Unusual Weekend Activities + Eats
January 8, 2012 { 27 comments }I have been in such a weird place lately with my workouts and eats. My body is all off. I woke up sick on Saturday morning and ended up spending a chunk of my day at urgent care. The wait was 2.5 hours! The good news? They will let you leave and call you when [...]

My Day in Three Photos
September 21, 2011 { 20 comments }I can sum up my day in with three photos. I made a peanut butter, banana and honey sandwich for breakfast when I got to work this morning. It was necessary after a late night and very early morning. I looked like a Girl Scout today. I packed these clothes in a half-asleep stupor at [...]

When It’s Good, It’s Great
September 12, 2011 { 28 comments }I taught my normal Monday hot class this evening but it was one of those classes where everything seemed right. I felt instantly engaged and connected. The moment I walked in the studio door after a long afternoon at work, I knew it was going to be good. This is in stark contrast to last [...]

Hot Sunday
July 24, 2011 { 24 comments }A quick update on part two of my weekend (part one here) before I crash…I have a goal to be in bed by 9:30 tonight! I “slept in” until 7:30 this morning, which these days sadly is sleeping in. I had an English muffin with peanut butter, honey and banana with black coffee while I [...]

Farewell Front Burner
September 1, 2010 { 8 comments }And I just ate a giant bowl of frozen yogurt from TCBY for dinner tonight. Oh and a piece of toast when I got home because it just seemed like the right thing to do. Don’t worry, there was an occasion (albeit a bittersweet one) for this. A big group of Charlotte-area bloggers met up [...]

Sleep is Good
May 11, 2010 { 0 comments }After NINE solid hours of sleep last night I feel like a completely new person. I had reached the point of exhaustion and a good night’s sleep was exactly what I needed. My energy levels were much higher today and the on and off headache I’ve had for the last five days finally went away. [...]
