Bangkok: Buddhas, Views and Canoes! Part 1
Thailand was amazing. I literally could end this post just with that broad exclamation but that would do my experience a vast injustice. One day I woke up and simply said to myself “I want to go to Thailand” that’s all it took to get this aspiration going. I mentioned the idea to one of…

Watamelonwata: Infused Watermelon Water recipe
Instead of cucumber this week I subbed in watermelon when infusing weekly water. Nothing against watermelon, I just live in NYC and actually carry groceries with my hands. Hint: Melons are HEAVY! I instead purchased prepackaged (lazy I know) fresh watermelon chunks to use in this easy detoxing recipe. Although I’m not bored of my usual…

The plateau. The Backslide. The LESSON.
NO joke – this post was inspired by random self serving, self googling. Being a somewhat / some time public figure I like to at least check to see if what google says about me is accurate. AND being an all-the-time Web Designer by profession I have to be sure my portfolio stays current…

Conversation: You can’t change him girl! (but you CAN change how you choose)
For as long as I’ve been old enough to care about men & dating, I have been subjected to the strong opinions of women on how to get and keep a man. Surprisingly a majority of women are under the impression that, with enough food, lovin and a bit of intrigue a man can be…

Conversation: Why date who you wouldn’t marry?
Many women have many different needs when it comes the requirements of “date” worthy and hopefully even more requirements for “relationship” worthy. Relationship worthy SHOULD mean “marriage” worthy (because why would you date a man you wouldn’t marry???), but it seems that many women are still dating men with NO marriage potential. Whatever you may be looking for…

Spandex LIES -The brighter the color the bigger the lie.
Many of us (if not all) women, MYSELF included fall victim to the lies of comfort clothes. By comfort clothes I mean the frocks you walk around your apartment in on the weekends and after work, these clothes probably include sweats, oversized tee shirts and any stretchy, elastic garment with plenty of pull. There…

Moderately Indulge (vacation does not EQUAL glutton)
On the brink of my very first independent vacation I am extremely nervous! Not only because I will be traveling to Boca Chica for a week long excursion alone, but because my trip is all inclusive. I am aware that for 6 days I will have an unlimited supply of all of my favorite…

The Scale Fail
I think a common misconception is made when we think about weighing ourselves. The misconception is that when you are in the process of “dieting”, you should weigh yourself each day to recognize progression. There isn’t any rule to this concept I just tend to disagree with it. Very very often numbers get in…
