I’ve tweeted enough about all the work I’ve been doing on the save-the-date cards for our wedding, I thought I’d share a pic with you. This is just the prototype (duh, our names are not Peter and Zoey). Many thanks to Colleen C. (Twitter handle @Supernova145) who recommended Shutteryfly.com in reply to my request for [...]

I love my heels. Tell me they’re sexist, dangerous, bad for my feet, I don’t care. I love their height extension, slimming effect, sex-appeal and the way I feel when I wear them. Despite the fact that both my stepmother and future-stepmother-in-law have suffered heel-related issues requiring surgery, I hope to be buried – well, [...]

Talk about a win-win; the next two weekends will present Wake-Up Yoga (WUP) students with the opportunity to take some free yoga classes, as well as help new teachers complete their training. If you’ve you taken classes at the WUY studios, you’ll no doubt have run into a couple of Teacher Training classes and Trainees [...]

This week’s Modern Manners, which goes out to the wait-staff of the world, is combined with my review of Mix.
I typically consider myself a very good tipper, like 20-25%+ when I can figure out the math, that is, which was sadly never my strong suit. But I [...]

I’ll be honest with you, I thought a terrarium was just a fancy plant holder, but I have discovered they are so much more! Terrariums are self-sustaining, mini-ecosystems you can keep almost anywhere. They’re a great way to infuse a little green into your life without a hefty care commitment.

Here’s how it works: carefully chosen [...]

For this week’s Modern Manners, I am giving a shout-out to my Mom. I am super-proud of her this week because she was able to put aside her own feelings and support me.
It’s my experience that women and their mothers have two types of relationships; either a) they’re best friends and do everything together or [...]

I know it’s been a while since I published a Wedding Wednesday post. We hit a serious snag in our planning and I was a little more than disheartened. Let me catch you up.
You see, I had gone to our travel agent in Feb. and told her we were ready to book with one of [...]

As much as I love my yogi ways, I have not been able to bring myself to vegetarianism. I am clearly an omnivore at heart. Just in time to celebrate a certain fashionista’s birthday, March is Steak Month in Philadelphia! Eight of the city’s premiere steakhouses have put together a 3-course $50 prix-fixe menu, available [...]

No, seriously, for this month’s Thirsty Thursday, get out of your house. If you live in the Northeastern part of the nation, you’re probably thrilled with these warmer (for now, 40s is warmer) temperatures and sunny skies. After months of being stuck inside and the potential for one more snow storm before we get to [...]

I know, I know, Modern Manners is late … again. But, I have a great excuse: my sweetie unexpectedly came home from work early yesterday with a colleague so I had to spend the time I planned to use for blogging on entertaining our guest. It’s ok. It’s the right thing to do. But it [...]
