Free Belly Ring With Membership

 Has anyone seen those Bally’s ads with the Pussycat Dolls? Bally’s is now “training” the Pussycat Dolls so they can be all fit and tighten things up a bit…right because they were getting a little piggy before. I guess perhaps not as many men (or women) are wishing their girlfriend was as hot as them anymore. […]

Does Everyone Hate My Gladiator FitFlops?

I don’t have them yet, but I will soon– but I haven’t been reading very good things about them at all. Not in terms of performance, mind you, but about the appearance. While I’ll admit I don’t have any designs on the white ones, I still covet the snake version. I think I agree […]

Here Comes the Sun

I try to do Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) as often as possible these days. It’s basically a series of 12 postures that are meant to build flexibility and strength. I find that it’s most useful for me for centering myself and reducing stress. You can also do it just about anywhere. Here’s an example that’s […]

New Sports Bra Review Coming Your Way

I’m looking forward to reviewing some fantastic sports bras this summer, and since you know how much I like to talk about them, we’re going to be looking at some very enthusiastic (and rigorous) testing indeed! Touted at the “Ultimate Sports Bras” from Lilyette for Full-Breasted Women, I just have to give them a try. […]

Salads, Nuts and Veggies Oh My

I’m really pleased with the results I saw from our 30 Day Shred challenge but it’s really just too difficult for me to find the time every day to do it. I only have “x” amount of time within which to work, run errands, clean etc. In order to consistently stay up with it I […]

Tasty Carrot Juice

I have an aversion to carrot juice, but knowing how good it is for me only makes me feel worse when I whip up a blender of undrinkable stuff. I’m really, really bad at mixing up tasty blended beverages, and that includes any veggie-drink, so I headed off on a search of pre-made veg drinks […]

Yogitoes

So I am taking a chance and trying the yoga thing one more time. I’ll be doing it every Monday at a local place within walking distance. A friend goes there as well so that should be added motivation to stick with it. I sweat a lot when I do yoga, even if it’s not […]

Healthy Eating: Give Me Back My Tomatoes

Yay! Great news for tomato lovers who love their lycopene. . . the FDA has removed that pesky tomato health warning and has shown that salmonella cases have been irradicated from those in fields and stores.
It’s just too bad that I adore my spicy peppers as well, since there is still a warning placed on […]

Should We Wii?

 
So the hubs and I have been contemplating getting a Nintendo Wii since last year. For Christmas we don’t buy each other gifts, we just choose one thing for the house or for ourselves to splurge on. It was a really tight race between a new digital video camera and a Wii. Capturing our son’s precious […]

Miracle Food (and Snack): Acai

I am in love with acai, and since I haven’t been in Brazil for awhile, I wasn’t sure how I could get my hands on it. Acai has omega-3, 6, and 9s and is pumped with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. But now that I have been searching for ways to take advantage of this tasty treat, […]
