Hitting a workout slump? Winter hibernation and lack of fitness mojo is coming to an end. I’ve been inspired to get my butt back to Pure Barre by treating myself to these legwarmer style Tavi Noir socks. Who doesn’t love legwarmers?!

New Site Launch: So excited to announce the launch of my dear friend, Kate Hart’s re-designed site. We worked together to create an updated look and feel to document and display her amazing career as a blues musician and vocal coach. Check it out here

Getting Away from Typical Stock Photos: I found a great resource for unique and free images! Death to the Stock Photo sends a weekly download straight to your inbox after you sign up with them. There’s also an option to sign up for their premium account for only $10 per month.

Wanna Just Stay In Bed? For those days when you’re so burned out you don’t want to get out of bed, this video from Marie Forleo tells you to go ahead and do it! She discusses Non Negotiable Time (NNT) and how you should set aside time each day for activities that enrich your life to avoid the dreaded burn out. I’m working on mine…

Giving Up the Chemicals: In the never-ending quest to achieve a healthier lifestyle, I’m slowly trying to eliminate as many toxic chemicals as I can. My mom has hopped on the bandwagon with me, and we’ve given up toxic hair dye and switched to Henna Color Lab’s all natural henna dye. It’s taken a bit of experimenting with some different colors to find the perfect shade, but after nearly 4 months I’ve found my hair is much thicker and healthier.

Wow, what a week it has been, and I can’t believe it’s already Friday! My mom and I spent last weekend shopping for wedding dresses and working on some wedding planning details. Going into this shopping experience, I didn’t realize there were “rules,” appointments to be made, paperwork to fill out, and extremely large price tags! This is still an ongoing adventure, and I learn something new with each appointment. Hoping to find “the one” soon.

I’m getting ready for a weekend full of “life administration,” like tax prep. Joy oh joy. Unfortunately I’m still not back to running but will be walking/running my neighborhood’s 5K this weekend. Hopefully it’s the start of a “come back.” I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and don’t forget to set your clocks forward!
