Full disclosure, my fiance has been foam rolling for years and I’ve always secretly judged him as a fool. We would often go work out together and while I’d be killing my ass on the treadmill he’d be rolling his ass out on the floor. In my head I was like “ummmmmmm excuse me this is NOT what the gym is for biiiiiiiitch”. But I was years behind the times. It wasn’t until we moved in together (ok a year…
Etiquette, a language of mutual respect between all of us. I hate to say it but I’m often so disappointed in the way we disregard our manners. THEY MATTER! They matter especially during times when there is anger in the air and we all need to be reminded that strangers are not all Disney witches waiting to hand out poisoned apples. (But fo real don’t eat the black ones! Or the shitty Macintosh. Honeycrisp is where IT IS AT MAH…
Anyone else been insanely inspired by the women’s march last weekend? This isn’t going to get political, although if I’m being honest I would die to see any Muppet character in the White House. Can you imagine the Swedish Chef running shit?!?! Seriously, all the images of people lifting each other up was such a breath of fresh air. Yes it was an important moment to put light on human rights, but what happens when all the signs get…
Happy almost New Year party people!!! While resolutions are fun and invigorating to get behind a new habit, perhaps this year think about the things that aren’t so visible on the outside but on the inside. Often that’s where the true life happiness secrets lie. BE KIND TO YOURSELF. It sounds so simple but we are the worst at it. Cut the negativity and love yourself. Anytime you begin to have a bad thought, replace it with…
We are all primed to search for the easiest way possible in life. That is just our nature and why I leave crumbs all over the house because plates and napkins are just TOO MUCH DAMN IT!!! You’ve never heard the saying however, “easy work pays off”. NOPE. So I have a new challenge for all of you. CHOOSE THE HARD EVERYTIME. Everything worth becoming and doing is hard. So embrace the chaos, confront your fears, face the obstacles, and…
Remember Mary Poppins? What a complete TERROR. That movie should have been rated R for all of the graphic horror it showed. It’s true don’t question this. The only redeeming part is the dancing penguins. Those guys are a class act. Fo real guys, anyone else exhausted from the pursuit of perfection? How often do you read an article about how to get the perfect hair, to choose the perfect houseplant, to plan the perfect dinner party….when does this hamster…
Team, circle up and take a knee. The ingredients in your products MATTER. Not only do toxins slow down your awesomeness but if you are spending money on a new treat for yourself, you may be washing your face AND washing your money down the drain at the same time. Let me explain… In case you were sleeping in Biology class, your skin is your largest organ. Most anything you soap up with, or slather on your skin enters into…
We are all guilty of it. The mind demons of comparison and unworthiness. FUCK THOSE GUYS! Seriously, the world has so much negativity these days why add more to your stress and insecurities? I’ll just out the elephant in the room, there is a major asshole here and the asshole is YOU!!!! Sorry not sorry. Words have power and we all need to take a moment to love on ourselves and cut the mental crap. It’s exhausting, no? I challenge…
Ah cold season, you devil witch. When will we ever be safe? Now I know this may come across as another list of obvious things to do when you are fighting a cold, but let’s be REALLY HONEST with ourselves. I rarely get sick, but when I do I turn into a worthless pile of goo. All of the good eating and health habits? Gone. It’s all cheesy pasta, thai food, and goldfish for me and often times I’m too…
Anyone else suffering from post-election hangover? I feel like New York City has truly turned into a ghost-zombie wonderland. Without getting angry or political, I wanted to challenge everyone out there to be an EXTRA AWESOME GOOD PERSON. Many of us are confused, elated, indifferent, hurt, amused, scared, and downright pissed off and those emotions should be felt for healing to begin. Personally, I’m intellectually and emotionally tired of all the fighting. This is a plea for both sides to…
