How Woom Bikes Saved Quarantine

Back in the Fall, both of my boys started showing a little more interest in riding their bikes, as so many of their friends on the street are older and cruise around the cul-de-sac for hours. My oldest, Crawford, had been very confident riding his bike with training wheels for awhile, but he is my hesitant and cautious child, and…

Just Another Workout Wednesday

If you see me during the week, during the day, I am more than likely in workout clothes. So, truly “workout wednesday” could be any day of the week. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE getting dressed up, but I also really love the fact that I can wear comfy (and fortunately cute) workout clothes to work most days. Athleta…

The Works Retreat: Tulum

I am pretty sure many of you were wondering why the heck I was going to Tulum, Mexico on my own, without my husband or my boys. For the first time, I had decided to take a trip for me. A yoga retreat for healing, restoration, relaxation, a lot of sweat, and a “tad” bit of fun. So, here’s a…

Overcoming the Excuses

So, I’ve admitted it before, I am addicted to working out and I would do it all day long if someone would pay me to or my husband would allow me to, which is highly unlikely.  But obviously this isn’t the case everyday.  I know I am probably in the minority here, but it is a daily priority, although, there…

Thirty-Three

Age is simply a NUMBER.  I could honestly care less.  The only time I might feel a little insecure about my age is when I’m chatting with the cute girls at the gym or the coffee shop or out shopping and feeling like I am “their age” and they end up being about 10 years younger…haha.  But hey, you are…

Five on Friday: New Year, Better You

ALL the Stocking Stuffers

Stocking Stuffers tend to be my last minute gifts, but I love finding fun and unique items to stuff in my husband’s stocking and not just “fluff”.  My mom always stuffed our stockings with the best stuff:  our favorite lipgloss, facial moisturizer, gift cards, etc… Some years if it has been last minute, my husband and I both have simply…

Health on Track for the Holidays

Article just out and originally written for The Upstate Clutch. Check out their Monday Newsletter! Initially I started to title this, “Healthy Holidays”, but who would read that?  And, I honestly believe in balance and not necessarily depriving yourself from anything if you don’t have to.  I love to indulge and celebrate all the good things that Thanksgiving and Christmas have…

Drift Away

Honestly, going into this I was skeptical of the whole experience.  I had never even heard of a float spa, but I am all about anything therapeutic and relaxing.  If the name has “spa” in it, then I am in.  I was super excited when Drift Float Spa opened up in the neighborhood.  First, it was one of my favorite…

Let’s Go Hiking…Weekend Recap

Initially I had planned for a “fashion” post this Monday morning, but our Sunday was too fun not to share.  This post is mainly for those of you in the Upstate.  With Fall comes great weather (even if it is still 90 degrees daily) and time to be outdoors, and the Poes get excited about some hiking.  On Sunday, we…
