The thing I love about Pinterest is the plethora of links to great DIY ideas, to funny or thought-provoking articles, to fashion and food, and to other people’s blogs. It is great to sit down for a few hours (or half the day) and click on link after link after link, and discover new things, new ideas, and new people. In the spirit of sharing, here are the link I love this month. If you’re like me, you love bath bombs, like the ones sold by LUSH. But did you know you can make them yourself?

Links I Love
Since I revamped my blog earlier this month, I have been looking at starting a new weekly or monthly series (or two). I have found myself drawn to other bloggers posts about “links they love”, so today, starts the first in a series. My plan for this series – “Links I Love” – is that it will become a monthly series. I hope you find these links as great and interesting as I did! Ever wonder about the bedrooms of those TV characters like Carrie Bradshaw and Serena van der Woodsen? Glamour magazine shares some cools details about these rooms. Daily Dose of Design shares […]

The New-U Wellness program includes three one-on-one health coaching sessions, two small group training exercise sessions per week, and a fitness assessment at the beginning and end of the program. A couple of weeks ago, I had my first one-on-one health coaching session and here’s what I learned.

Never go more than two days […]
What’s Your Sign?
Whether you’re a Capricorn like me, or a Taurus like my mom, there’s a perfect nail polish designed just for you. I love red nail polish, but I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone and experimenting with some other colors. I’ve got several Chanel nail polishes including my faves, Forbidden (gifted to me by a friend) and Pulsion (a limited edition I purchased while visiting Chicago). I also got a Formula X in a taupe color (#254), and a OPI Nail Envy in Hawaiian Orchid. When I get my first mani-pedi of the Spring, I usually opt for something […]
