When I was eight years old my mom gave me a really cool gift. She had a trunk of vintage Barbie Dolls. I was so excited to have them that one day I decided to play beauty salon on the front porch and chop all their hair off! I am not kidding, I thought the original Spotlight Barbie looked way …
Hi all! I hope everyone is safe and sound after this crazy storm! Cory and I have been stuck in DC without any luck of getting out of this hotel. If you follow me on social media then you know that we were in Europe for the past week and a half. On our way home we flew through Washington D.C., …
You guessed it, today’s post is all about the beet root. Beets are certainly an acquired taste. They are earthy in flavor, and are so beautiful in color that they look like candy on your plate. As I got older, I started to order beets more and more. I have had them roasted in salad, in borsht, and even pickled with …
Building a Successful Workout Schedule
OK ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make. I overdid it BIG TIME the past couple of weeks, and I could not be happier to get back to work, and my regular routine. Christmas and New Years were a complete whirlwind of calories and cocktails. On Christmas, we spent time with family friends who my mom grew up …

This ‘Cozy Sleep Set’ is on sale from Nordstrom (Click Here) to buy! “I don’t sleep. I just dream.” pretty much sums it up for me in a nutshell. I tell Cory all the time, “You are over there sleeping, and I am over here having an adventure”. After a while, the endless dreaming, midnight Instagrams, and trips to the …
I cannot believe my favorite holiday has already come and gone, but with the days getting shorter and shorter, one week flows into the next, and it seems I have barely been able to catch my breath. Cory and I both travel a ton for work, and it was wonderful to spend the last five days in the same time-zone. …
After watching the news yesterday, it came to my knowledge that two major supplement companies are facing fraud charges. These companies that claim to be all natural, were found to be synthetic, in some cases toxic, and many times were only employee tested. How you may ask? By having their employees take the synthetic supplements and saying which one made …
Happy Birthday to me…yay!! LOL 30 has without a doubt been the happiest of my life! I have let go of many things that have held me down in the past, and I learned how to be comfortable and happy in the skin I am in. I read an article yesterday about all the things you hate in you thirties. …
Jumpusuit (Alo Yoga) Jacket (Adidas) Sandal (Vince) For some reason jumpsuits have been a mainstay in my wardrobe as a dancer, and I have seen them popping up in the studio and at the gym on a regular basis.

As I get older and more experienced in the kitchen I like to experiment with different textures and flavors. Last week, I wanted to pretend like Miami was experiencing fall-like conditions, so the pumpkin coffee came out, and the squash was in the shopping cart. I have cooked spaghetti squash so many times, but often simply used it as a …
November is diabetes awareness month. I have many people in my family that are diagnosed with type two diabetes and one of my best friends has type one diabetes. When I studied nutrition, diabetes was a topic with a lot of information and guidelines yet there is still much research to be done. We are constantly learning more and more …
