Vacation time: Keeping up with clean eats!
Every time I go on vacation, I put my entire life on hold. I seem to think that just because I’m on vacation, I don’t have to work out or eat somewhat decently. This, my friends, is the completely wrong approach. Just because I am on vacation most certainly doesn’t mean my metabolism is as […]
Workout Gear: Take pride in your appearance.
Workout clothes were never a top priority when I was frivolously spending cash on my shopping days. For years, I would always grab a few scrubby workout tops and pants here and there from different stores because, quite frankly, I never thought the investment was worth it. My mother would always give me lame examples […]
The Right Fit: What’s Yours?
Everyone has their own vision of what being “fit” looks like. My entire life, I always thought being a size zero was exactly what I wanted to be, but let’s be real– I’m a size 6. I always was, always will be. And there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. For my first post on […]
Enjoy Delicious Aged Cheeses – Even If You’re Lactose-Intolerant!
For the past month, I have been on a gluten-free, lactose-free diet. I knew it would be a tough transition: I’m a vegetarian! I live on carbs! But one of the biggest difficulties I found was that I thought I would have to give up cheeses. I love cheese. Delicious cheeses from around the world […]

Hard Rock Cafe is teaming up with WhyHunger and the John Lennon Foundation of charities in order to eradicate hunger. This special partnership works around the world in countries including Haiti, India, Kenya, and Thailand. See how you […]
God’s Love We Deliver: New York City
Being in New York and New Jersey right now as teams of volunteers are pitching in to help clean up and provide food and shelter for those affected by Hurricane Sandy (thank you!), I’m reminded more than ever of groups that put this much effort into helping people get much needed nutrition all year round. I’d like […]
The Running Playlist That Gets Me Moving
It has come to my attention that the sharing of workout playlists is absolutely unheard of. You could almost have better luck getting someone to hand over their social security number, Facebook password, and credit card than you would getting honest answers on what’s on their iPod. Why? It’s because most of the time, the […]
October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The great thing about Breast Cancer Awareness Month is that you’re probably already aware of it. As soon as you change your calendar page to October, you’ll be seeing pink popping up everywhere: malls, parks, t-shirts. And that’s seriously amazing. Keeping pink visible everywhere not only shows us breast cancer’s prevalence and the cause’s reach, […]
