As you may recall from my last column, I thought I’d start my supermodel journey or at least tone my body by taking a Pilates class. Just one. But no, it appears you need more than one and I had to come […]
I did my first Pilates class last week. After years of being just fabulous, I decided I needed to be fabulous and toned. I always thought core strength was being able to say no to three servings of my sister’s sour cream […]
I run away. Just once a year, just for a night. I personally make a point of booking a night away in the city. I go on my own—YES ON MY OWN—without hubby or children, and I splurge on luxury – a […]
This week I wanted to talk about the meaning behind a tattoo I got last year: it reads, “Because I’m a queen.” I get a lot of different reactions to this tattoo – some people think it’s awesome, some people think it’s […]

I was checking my Facebook notifications for work and decided to have a quick squiz at the news feed. One photo sent a wave of emotions through me. It was of a girl from high school having a merry time sharing drinks […]
Definition: To plank, a person first gets into push-up position with legs extended, then places the elbows on the floor and rests their weight on their forearms. Hold this position for as long as possible. My gym calls it “The Hover”. Background […]

Raising a family, getting back into the work force, recreating a career path, relationships, friends and life in general—these are a few of the demands that lead you astray, away from your heart felt passions or from finding new ones. For me […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m just a little bit over seeing Kim Kardashian’s naked selfies plastered all over the place and even more tired of the fact that these images are constantly glorified and portrayed as “news”. Now, hear me […]
