I've never done a post like this, but something happened in my community recently which has rehashed some painful feelings for me and I'm so passionate about this issue that I need to share it. This morning I was reading a local news story about a woman who's dog died after she took it to the groomer at PetsMart (link to article here.) Here are ...

Weekend Shopping: Paris, Here I Come (Baby, It’s Cold Outside)
I woke up at 5 a.m. this morning to do a quick work thing where I had to be on-site somewhere. I wore a tee, my VS PINK thermal hoodie and my Zara jacket that I bought for our trip to Paris. Let's just say that being outside even for 5 minutes felt awful even though I was wearing layers. I finally came to terms with the fact that my lined ...
(Not) Wearing Makeup to the Gym
I've been going to the gym in the morning about twice a week. I wake up at 5:40 a.m., hobble to the bathroom with my eyes half-shut not quite understanding what's happening, brush my teeth, wash my face, throw on clothes and shoes, toss a water bottle in my gym bag and off I go. I know for a lot of women, not wearing makeup outside of the house ...
Ombre Hair: Here, There & Everywhere
Ombre hair has been such a huge trend for the past year. It's fresh, low-maintenance and oh-so-pretty. I unintentionally sort of have an ombre look happening when I grow my hair out. I typically dye my hair only every 4-5 months or so. So I let my natural mousy-brown roots grow out until they are a few inches long and then I get ...
Polka Dot Pretty (OOTD)
In between trying to wrap up some projects at work and getting in as many training sessions as I can, I know this week is going to be a busy one for me. I must admit that since I know I won't be working out for at least 9 days, I'm trying to pack in as many workouts as I can before we leave. I know I'll probably burn a ton of ...
Weekend Shopping: Charlotte Russe, Victoria’s Secret, ULTA
I did a little shopping today to use some coupons that were about to expire and also to find another hat for our trip that will cover my ears. EVERYTHING at Charlotte Russe was 50% off today! I couldn't believe it! I got this faux-fur collar sweater vest which is cute on its own or worn under a coat---you can let the fur part stick out ...
Day & Night: Friday Outfits
Hello ladies! Hope everyone had a great Friday! I must admit mine did not start off very well. I really do hate to whine about how I feel, but Friday my horrible stomach symptoms came back and so did the nausea...and add cramps to that (yeah, not good). I was not a happy camper that morning (especially since I did a super-intense ...
OOTD: Pants Again (Express Editors are Seriously the Best Dress Pants Ever)
Tonight is an off night for me (no workout) so I'm going to relax and finish my Christmas cards so I can mail them out tomorrow. I wore pants again today. Some days it's just more comfy. I know the Express editor pants have been a big hit lately so I'm trying to style them in different ways. Top- LOFT Cardigan- Express Pants- ...
Outfits Times Two & Back to Blogging
Oh...Hello! So nice to see you all on a Wednesday evening! Monday was just a brutal day for me which is why I didn't blog. After lunch at work I suddenly got these very sharp pains in my stomach and I was so nauseous and dizzy and just felt hot and cold flashes constantly. I ended up having to leave work early (in tears) ...
Exhausted—Sunday Cleaning
This morning, I started my day off right and had a session with my trainer. It was such a wonderful way to end my weekend. After that, I went grocery shopping---and though that's already a pretty good amount of effort for a Sunday, I had another task on my mind. Cleaning. Like a deep cleaning. Like a "we moved the couches" kind of ...
