Obviously, I’ve taken a break from writing here, and although I didn’t intend to, there was just no way for me to fit it in over the past couple weeks (not true, I could have crammed it in, but my head wasn’t in it). I did the Jersey Shore thing with my friends and Matthew, …
Detoxing and Cleansing have become hot topics for our society in the last few years—even though detoxing and cleansing have been going on since ancient times. I think we can blame marketing and sales motivations for most of the current misconceptions about detoxing (I’ll use detoxing and cleansing interchangeably), and although it’s unfortunate, I think …
The Truth about Detoxing and Cleansing — What you really need to know! Read More »
A few years ago, I was really into reading about raw food and other natural healthy ways of living. I was having some annoying health issues, and I kept trying to “clean” my diet and life so that my body would heal itself. I was so determined not to use a bandaid approach—to address actual …
Joe makes the best crab cakes. He really does—and I order crab cakes at every single restaurant I go to that has them (unless I anticipate them being full of bread crumbs and deep fried). So I really know about crab cakes. The first version can be found here. The Crab Cakes Special Edition is …
I’ve mostly readjusted to being home…after a road trip with my friend Carrie, two of her kids (ages 5 and 6), and Matthew (age 8). We went to the Jersey Shore for a few days and had a blast! The kids had never been to the ocean before, so it was a lot of fun …
I spent today fishing. And believe me, if I wasn’t already aware, today I really realized how lucky I am that much of my work is online. I worked for an entire day today…before 8:30am and after 4:30pm. In between those times? I picked up my favorite 8 year-old and we went fishing for 6 …
I’ve still been plugging away at my HIIT workouts 3 times a week (well, it’s more like twice if I’m totally honest…but I intend to do 3). I’ve had several people comment on how toned my arms look, so I feel like it must be working! I definitely feel good (…except my achilles tendons, but …
I’ve been spending a lot of time with friends lately–summer just brings a lot of my favorite people to town! My friend, Jena, and I had a sleepover on Sunday, and one of our favorite things to do together is make a huge mess in the kitchen (she’s extra good at that). On Sunday, we …

If you didn’t notice, I took a little break/vacation from social media recently. I didn’t intend to, but it just sort of happened as a result of having way too many things going on at once (not all work), and spending time with my extended family at the lake (where there was no functional wifi). …
I like to work out at home—it’s easier than going to the gym (even though I have a gym one block from my house), and it’s simpler than going to a personal trainer (the one I like is 35 minutes from my house). I don’t need a trainer—I have a degree in exercise science. I …
