This weekend, I deviated from my normal routine. As much as I love my Saturday morning workout, this weekend I decided to shake it up a bit and actually take both weekend days for myself. I started my Saturday off…
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!
Lately, it has been starting to feel like fall. With summer officially coming to an end (tomorrow!), I guess I have to embrace the new season whether I am ready to or not. Fortunately, I squeezed in one final beach…
Self-Care Sunday
Yes. I am well aware that today is in fact Monday. As someone who suffers from the occasional “Sunday Scaries,” I have started to fully embrace showing myself a little self-love before the weekend ends and the new week begins….
Monday Mantra: The Art of Tidying Up
Although I never read Marie Kondo’s book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” my experience this past weekend was an eye-opener. You never realize how much stuff you have until you go through your home room-by-room and begin to declutter….
Monday Mantra: Enjoy the Quiet

September’s Surprise
Just when I thought my beach days were over for 2014, September delivers two beautiful, sunny days for me to enjoy! I am happy to report that I took full advantage of both days – spending time in the sun,…
Catching Up….
Typically my weekends consist of the three B’s: beaching, brunching, and browsing. This weekend I decided to stay put and enjoy the two R’s–rest and relaxation – and attend to tasks that I have been putting off. The weather only…
Waiting for the Weekend
While another long, humid summer week comes to a close (can you believe it’s almost July already?), I am again grateful that my favorite two days are upon us. This week, a couple of things happened. First, I received the…
Stylish Swimwear
Now that I wrote my serious post for the week (thank you for all the comments and well wishes!), I’d like to lighten the mood a little and celebrate the lovely weather. Although it has been slightly more humid than…
