If you could be happier in 10 days, wouldn’t you want to be? If you’re the jaded New Yorker we’ve all become, the cynic in you just sneered and clicked away. But if you’re still looking for the small change that just might make a huge impact – that glimmer of hope that humanity is not all Finstagram and rainbow chia bowls, well then Headspace might just be what you’re… Keep Reading
It’s Memorial Day Weekend and our own pool just opened up today – which means summer is officially here! But let’s not forget that there are some scary situations that can come along with summer-like drowning. Drowning has always been a concern of mine (my dad never even learned how to swim!), and I wanted to get Max acclimated to the water as soon as possible. He’s been avidly taking classes for… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Tobacco Free New York State as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. All opinions expressed in my post are my own. The average age of a new smoker in New York State is 13 years old. And I know this to be true. I was that kid. Well, I think I was 15 because I remember smoking in my best friends car when she would drive…. Keep Reading
It’s 2 o’clock on a Tuesday and you’re looking for some kind of energy boost to get you through the last few hours on the clock. In search of something tasty yet low in sugar (and is caffeinated yet doesn’t give you a crash). It may seem like this super drink doesn’t exist due to all the energy drinks and high calorie tea and coffee drinks available. Fortunately, there is… Keep Reading
There is a big shift happening if you haven’t already noticed. And for every bad thing you read in the news, you should note that there is still good. Stonyfield Organic, which started as a small organic farming school in New Hampshire 35 years go, has blossomed into a well-known and trusted consumer brand bringing quality organic products into American homes. But that’s not all they’re doing. Gary Hirshberg is back –… Keep Reading
Holidays are a time that we tend to enjoy indulging and not caring about those extra calories, what’s actually in our foods, or getting little sleep and just spending money like it’s free. But when New Years is about to hit, we all turn on overdrive and scramble to choreograph these intricate goals to help erase any and all bad decisions we may have made. What most of us lack,… Keep Reading
I have a love-hate for running. When I tell friends this – they look at me shocked – why would I run if I don’t love it? Well, I think there are a lot of folds to this – and many of them are mental, not physical. Running is all about mental capacity. If you tell yourself you’re running 20 miles today, you will do it. If you get up… Keep Reading
When I was in my twenties, I lived with two roommates in a massive house on top of Mount Washington in Pittsburgh. We had an open door policy – it was always open. And there was always people there. I loved that on a random Tuesday night friends would just stop by to have a smoke on the front porch – and we would all sit up for hours laughing… Keep Reading
If you don’t realize by now that I am a huge advocate for farmers – here’s another fun post for you. We have been big fans of Stonyfield, especially their YoKids line, since Max was a baby – and continue to still pack them in school lunches. Not only are they organic farmers (and the world’s largest organic yogurt producer), they love to give back and help the planet, too…. Keep Reading
September and the forthcoming fall means a reset for us back at home. We get so swept away in summer travel, bad eating habits and lax exercise schedules that back-to-school also brings a nice structured scheduled back into our lives. I may thrive in chaos, but I still love a good organized week. This also includes scheduling meals in advance and prepping those meals on Sunday – preferably during a… Keep Reading
