Ahhh…. Love is in the air! Today, 9/22/2012, is my parent’s 45th anniversary. Last week my friend, Tricia, and her husband, Bryan, celebrated 20 years together. My cousin Nathan and his wife, Laurie, celebrated 15 years together this month as well. So in honor of them and in honor of love in general, I thought I’d give this week in pins a romantical theme. The secret for a good marriage… Here’s a text message that every girl would be thrilled to get… Who knew that the left ring finger was the only finger that has a vein that connects to […]
The September Issue
Every year, millions of fashionistas (almost all women, and some men) wait patiently for Vogue magazine’s “September Issue”. This year was no different, with the industry’s “fashion Bible” touting “916 pages of spectacular fall fashion for all”! And of course I was one of those millions who purchased the September issue with a certain level of expectation that there would truly be a wide array of “fall fashion for all”, meaning fall fashion that anyone and everyone could afford. First let me say that the issue didn’t even begin until page 76, which showed the first “table of contents”. Yes, I’m saying […]

Fitness is Not a Destination, It’s a Way of Life
I finally went back to the gym yesterday after a few weeks away. It’s not that I haven’t been to the gym, but that I haven’t worked out with weights in about two months. So today, I’m super sore. So sore, in fact, that my quads, calfs, and triceps are screaming! Don’t get me wrong — I don’t regret going back and pushing myself so hard. My only regret is that I didn’t go back sooner! Today I was was planning to do about 30 minutes of cardio using the rowing machine, but needless to say, I didn’t make it […]
