Affordable Health Care + Yoga?!

Yoga studio owners and full time teachers have a number of things in common.  We've made our passion our profession and  in essence, we're yoga evangelists - We will talk to whoever, whenever about how much we love yoga and how it absolutely will change your life. We've usually experienced some sort of emotional and/or…

Friday Faves

It's Friday, and these are a few of my favorite things..... Getting in touch with the MUCH First up, Muchness Bands made by my favorite Muchy girl, Tova Gold over at Finding My Muchness.  Muchness Bands are gorgeous satin and sequin tie bands that come in a rainbow of colors and inspiration.

Om Sweet Om

This morning I practiced yoga with a group of friends, family and yoga teachers.  It was morning satsang and kirtan in celebration of my dear friend Lauren's birthday.  It was the first practice I have done in months.  That seems shocking to say out loud. When I got the invitation in the mail a few…

Day 2.

My Jawbone UP still hasn't arrived from amazon. I am slightly annoyed by that, but tracking says it will be here today. Yesterday was my first day of the Isagenix cleanse.  I will say that the shakes are...mediocre. They remind me of appetite suppression/fad diet shakes my mother used to make in the 80s. The…

The Summer of Me

I just finished up my first semester in the MCIS program. I think I squeaked out with an A.  It's a good place to start.  I am still all over the place with the concentration of my degree program.  The research projects that I worked on this semester for my Communication Research class all revolved…

Folic Acid and Prenatal Health

Before you dig into this post about folic acid, I want you all to know that my auto correct tried to correct folic to FROLIC.  I am pretty sure none of us wants anything to do with frolicking through acid, so my apologies in advance if there are any FROLIC acid typos that I missed. …

Eating for Fertility: Part II

In Eating for Fertility Part I, I explored the connection between aphrodisiacs and fertility. Now lets really dig into fertility health. What you put in your mouth before conception is just as important as after! Preconception health awareness should start 6 months to one year before conception. And this should include both parents. That's right…

All I want is Food and Creative Love

 Eating for Fertility Part I in celebration of National Pregnancy Month! Pardon the Rusted Root reference (all I want is food and creative love) but considering food and love have been bedfellows for centuries, I thought it was appropriate. Food and love, sounds like a fresh new relationship, doesn't it? You know, the blissful ones,…
