If you know me personally, you know I’m way into fitness. I love working out in nature, but due to extreme weather in NYC I’ve had to move my workouts indoors this winter. I really enjoy doing fitness videos online – keeps things fun and motivating. I adore the Purely Twins. I have been following their blog for a few years now and they’re amazing!

Wishing you a lovely weekend friends!

You may have noticed things look a little different around here. We received a makeover! A new year called for a fresh new look. The beautifully redesigned logo was crafted by my dear and very talented friend, Kinal Ladha. And Gavin, my tech genius of a fiancé, did the web development. I’m totally in love.

If you’re like most, Fridays call for a little escapism – a few nuggets of inspiration to coax you into the weekend and take your mind off the week that has passed. Today, I’m starting a new series on the blog called Friday Favorites. I’ll share webby resources to inspire, motive and take you away.

Here are my picks for the week:

The Big Move

July 10, 2013

Time to spill some pretty huge news… I moved to New York City! And the real reason things have been a little quiet around here lately is due to the fact that I have been completely preoccupied with finding an apartment, unpacking, interviewing for jobs and too many summer parties to count. There will be plenty more posts to come once I get settled into my new home – I promise.
