Transformation Thursday: A Yogi and so much more.

June 8, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

The app TimeHop reminded me the other day that it has officially been two years since I fully began the journey into yoga. Yes, I “yoga’d” before. Yes, I did it far more regularly in the second half of my pregnancy. But really, it wasn’t until I had my first flow at the mat, my […]

“Hello”, Tasty Tuesday.

May 23, 2017.Reading time 12 minutes.

I’ve fallen off the wagon. I’ve taken a tumble out of my seat and right over the side of the wagon, hitting the ground as that wagon keeps rolling on by. What wagon have I fallen off of? Well… a few to be honest here. Blogging for starters. The small amount of time I have […]

My body on display: Society’s “standard of postpartum”.

May 3, 2017.Reading time 12 minutes.

I’ve read a few blog posts lately, and have seen several posts pop up over Twitter and Instagram that respond to those ugly, hateful messages that public figures see in their comments sections, or find in their inboxes target at their bodies. In an interesting twist of life events, I’ve personally had a sudden influx […]

Battle of the face. #ThanksalotPCOS

April 14, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

If I could go back and do anything over in my adult life, it would be being more determined at finding a skin care routine that works for my face. Instead? I just settled, bounced around, for years. Because of my PCOS, my early adult years were suddenly plagued with breakouts. My teen years? Beautiful […]

A letter to myself.

March 22, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

1:09 a.m. It wasn’t my son keeping me awake. It was myself. The past few months have been hard. I’ve been struggling internally with the idea of a second child. And it’s been shockingly more painful to have on my mind than having my first was. I wasn’t the kind of woman born knowing I […]

It’s a Stitch Fix win!

March 15, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

Through the kindness and generosity of family during that holiday we call Christmas, I was gifted money towards my next fix. No, not drugs, we’re talking clothes here. Although now that I’m a few fixes in, I can easily say that yes, I am addicted to that pretty greenish circle arriving on my doorstep with pretties […]

Goal redirection: Bigness has been shoved overboard.

March 11, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

My sails are up, a new course is charted, and Bigness had to walk the plank. Today I made a pretty tough decision. It involved “canceling” one of my biggest current goals. And it sucked. I had to shelf The Bigness Project. It had nothing to do with time. It didn’t have to do with […]

NEW IMPORTANT UPDATE! Self-care Sunday: Pamper Yourself Boxes.

March 6, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

I’m sure by now, most of you have heard of the Fab Fit Fun box. Some may have even given it a go. Same with Ispy and Birchbox. We have become a society that subscribes to boxes full of things that have piqued our interest in one way or another. Long gone are the days […]

Getting organized, finally.

February 14, 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

My mother had tried several times over the span of many years to teach me how to knit. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, I just never could get it to click. Then I moved into my first house and money was scary tight, and with Christmas right around the corner… I kind of […]

Fit Tip Tuesday: The Calorie Game.

January 31, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

“Is this healthy?” It was a text that buzzed in on my phone over the weekend. It’s not the first time I’ve been asked this over the years, and it’s also not the first time I’ve seen what followed just this year alone. Consuming 1200 calories a day, while exercising, to lose weight. ONLY 1200 […]
