Sometimes you have to lose yourself in order to find yourself. I was asked to come to the rescue of my oldest niece on Friday when she was involved in a single-car wreck on her way home from college for the weekend. On our way to meet her mother, we started talking about how she’s doing in college and what’s been going on in her life lately. She said that she changed her major (Forensic Anthropology to English, like me), pulled a muscle in her abdomen, and now, wrecked her car (her only mode of transportation to and from college). […]
10 Tips to Developing a Fitness Plan
Last month, I joined a three-month weight management program. 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 […]
Celebrity Dinner Party: SNL Edition
Have you ever been asked this question? “Who would you invite to a dinner party, dead or alive?” I would have dinner parties every weekend – both Friday and Saturday nights – because my guest list is sooooooooo long!

I have watched SNL for the last 25 years, and there have been some funny women on that late night show. Tina Fey – Sarah Palin and Weekend Update. Amy […]
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 […]
Sunday Inspiration: Be a #BossBabe
I have recently come to realize that in order to become a more productive #BossBabe, I must do some things first. Make some goals. I like to make lists, that way I can check things off once I complete them. It’s the same way with setting goals. Make some short-term goals and some long-term goals and then work at achieving them. When you meet a goal, celebrate! Buy yourself something or treat yourself to a really nice dinner! Organize your week. Some people organize their clothes for the next day before they go to bed. Some people sit down on […]
