Ridiculously Nutritious and Easy: Red Lentil Soup

Maybe you can relate to my constant dilemma:  I love providing delicious, home cooked meals that are super-packed with nutrients for my family and me, BUT I don't have tons of time to cook!  I'm going to share with you one of my go-to recipes for Easy Red Lentil Soup. It doesn't take much time to prepare, it is delicious, comforting, and ridiculously nutritious.

Wimbledon 2017 and the Perfect Party Dress!

Recently I took a trip to London for the specific purpose to spectate in one of the major sports wonders of the world: WIMBLEDON!  This tennis Grand Slam is, indeed, full of wonder, elegance, and tradition.  I was fortunate enough to sit on Centre Court, see the Royal Box, and indulge in the tradition of enjoying strawberries & cream while watching incredible tennis! There was, however, more to Wimbledon than the tennis...there were the parties as well! With such a long-standing tradition of sophistication and splendor, what's a girl to wear to a Wimbledon party?  This was my chance to...

Life is a Push and a Pull: Reflection and a Video

Life is a push and a pull, right?  Again and again I see how life in the gym, on the yoga mat, and in the physical arena in general, mirrors every day life and relationships.I was just chatting with a friend of mine about her relationship with her boyfriend.  She was telling me how things are going better than ever for them and it's a steady push and pull between them.  She said the relationship is exciting and balanced at the same time... the push and pull was right on track.  This got me thinking about how relationships flourish and...

Functional Fitness: My View

Every Thursday I work out with my trainer, Jojo.  He always keeps work outs super fun and very interesting.  I do things during our 1 hour training session that I could never dream up on my own!  Not only is Jojo creative and brilliant at his job, but Jojo is a huge believer in functional fitness.  Functional fitness is based on getting stronger and more efficient in movements that you would use during your every day life.  This does not mean that the work out is monotonous and directly imitates what you do every day (Stair Master anyone?)... it mimics...

Let Food Be Thy Medicine... Chicken Soup!

My family has escaped the flu this winter... until now.  Even in tropical south Florida we are not immune to the winter flu.  I write this blog now complete with body aches, runny nose, and a cough that mirror those symptoms of my daughter; we are a family in need of some serious TLC.  As Hipprocrates said, "Let food by thy medicine, and medicine be thy food." Amidst the echinacea, sambucus drops, and Advil, we find the most comfort in one of  the best medicines I know... homemade chicken soup! The great thing about homemade chicken soup is that you...
