I got an email from Hilliard Studio Method which shared Liz’s thoughts on doing Cardio and Losing Weight recently, and thought you guys might be interested in the topic. Liz’s p.o.v. lines up with what I’ve read as current thinking on the amount of cardio vs the amount of weight/resistance training to optimize weight loss. […]
It seems like we can find just about anything in a pumpkin flavor these days. I’ve personally seen pumpkin muffins, bagels, cookies, waffles, cream cheese, pancake mix, salsa, and even soda. While constantly chowing down on orange pastries is probably not the best for our waistlines, there are actually plenty of reasons to jump on […]
I’m not sure I’ve ever actually participated in a bar hop; even in college. Mostly because it’s hard enough for me to decide ONE place to go for the evening, much less multiple places. Then ya gotta find a table and a waitress and prop yourself up just right so that hot guy can see […]
Over the course of the past few years, I’ve become a bit of a coconut oil maniac, and I’ve been using it like crazy. If you’re not using coconut oil, maybe you’ve seen it in the store or heard something about it. This post will hopefully get you hooked too – just wait until you […]
by Leigh Ann Young of baseballlovestory.com Based on the American Cancer Society’s recommendation, annual breast cancer screenings should start at age 40. Why? Because one of the keys to beating breast cancer is early detection. Since I am comfortably in that age bracket, I decided to schedule mine at Charlotte Radiology’s Mobile Breast Center. Have you seen these cute pink buses […]
Dear FlyBarre, We’ve had quite the rendezvous. It’s only been six weeks but I’m calling for a break. We’ve had great times together, some better and some worse, but it’s simply time for us to see others. Don’t think I’m leaving you behind forever. Or that I’ve found someone new. I’m just not the kind […]
Dear Flywheel, I can’t believe it could be almost over between us. With only two weeks left to the FlyBarre Challenge, I’m sad to say I’ll be missing the four dates we’ve been sharing each week. You started off as a monotonous task hanging over my head, yet now you’re one of my favorite parts […]
Dear Flywheel, I can safely say my love/hate relationship for you has turned in to pure adoration. It’s week two of the FlyBarre Challenge and though some days I wake up feeling sore in places I didn’t know existed, I managed to get hooked. Whether it was the dynamic arms, the second set of abs […]
Have you heard about the new cycling studios in town? Flywheel. Maybe so, they’ve been getting a lot of buzz. And maybe you’ve wondered, like I did, seriously, how great can a spinning / cycling studio be? There are no words. Flywheel just plain ROCKS. If you love an athletic, high-energy, crazy-efficient workout, then you […]
Haters, take note. You’ll want to skip this one. This post is a recap and review of my recent (as in finished yesterday) 5-day “detox” cleanse from BluePrint Cleanse. Two points I want to make right up top. 1) I didn’t do this cleanse to officially “detox” my system. I ascribe to the theory that […]
Then how did it get on my fingernails? Oh wait, it’s not illegal to wear it (though perhaps the fashion police will have a say) but it is illegal to PRODUCE it.
Nails for spring/summer 2012 are either super demure or super duper. No matter which way you go, the shape is not the way to make your manicure mark for the coming months. The shape of nails this season is simple…..1) very short (my favorite look) or 2) longer but either subtly square, squ-oval or subtly […]
