So, it’s almost a wrap on 2016, and I have to say overall it’s been a pretty amazing year for me. A serious highlight for me- Starting this blog.

I believe life is meant to be enjoyed and our frame of mind determines how much we allow ourselves to experience the beauty each day has to offer.
Almost five years ago, I was depressed, physically weak and spiritually broken. Now I feel all the blessings of a healthy life and a grateful attitude.
From positive vibes to simple pleasures- I'm sharing my thoughts on all the little things that make life truly amazing.
New to the Gym
If you were a regular at the gym over the past few weeks, it’s likely you had your choice of treadmills or no problem getting your favorite bike in spin class. It’s hard to find a new gym goer the last week in December. And of course, come January 2, that will all change. At least for… Continue reading New to the Gym
Turkey Meatball Recipe
One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2017 is to eat less processed foods. So what to do when I’m craving something like turkey meatballs? Well learning how to make them (and make them healthy!) is a good start! In fact, I should likely just add “learn to cook” as one of my stated… Continue reading Turkey Meatball Recipe
Square Organics Review
If you’re anything like me, you felt a little less than 100% when you woke up this morning. Well, I have the perfect fix- And it comes from Square Organics.

benefits of kettlebells
A couple months ago I started taking a kettlebells class once a week. I know what you’re thinking. Can once a week really do much? I can’t tell you the science behind it. But I can tell you how I feel. In short: Much stronger. Particularly in my core and shoulders. Two places I… Continue reading benefits of kettlebells

Eataly In New York City
If you love food and your heading to New York City anytime soon, you have to add Eataly to your must-visit list. During my recent trip to NYC my husband, sister, and I checked out their location in the Freedom Towers (they also have one in the Flatiron District). Basically, it’s the Bergdorf’s of… Continue reading Eataly In New York City
Roasted Chicken
Isn’t it funny how making a roasted chicken makes you feel all Martha Stewart- like?? I experienced that feeling when for the first time in a very long time, I made a roasted chicken for dinner. I know totally random, but I got the recipe and inspiration from a cookbook I’m loving right… Continue reading Roasted Chicken
