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.

Benefits of Ginger | The Ginger People

The benefits of ginger have been well-documented. It can reduce inflammation, improve brain function, and even has cancer-fighting properties. Considering all of this, it’s no surprise ginger is considered one of the most highly-touted superfoods. But how do you get this superfood into your body on a more frequent basis?

Improve Marriage Communication | A book that Helped

Recently, my husband and I listened to Gretchen Rubin’s “The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People’s Lives Better, Too)”.

And recently I found a cleanse by a local Sacramento company that did… Continue reading Sun and Soil Juice Cleanse

To make a New Year’s resolution or not?

Whether to make a New Year’s resolution or not can be a controversial topic. Some people see it as a good opportunity to refocus, recommit, or move in a completely new direction to make a fresh start. Others feel like resolutions are lame, pointless, and most are generally abandoned by February.   I fall into… Continue reading To make a New Year’s resolution or not?

New ClassPass System gets an A+

ClassPass, you have won me back. This little system has been my go-to for booking classes at boutique fitness studios in the Sacramento region for more than two years now. When I first signed up, it was a flat fee of $69 for unlimited classes each month. The only parameter was you couldn’t visit the… Continue reading New ClassPass System gets an A+
