Written by Contributing Blogger, Audrea. And so it begins…the last month of summer. The month where you start to smell fall creeping in but the heat makes you feel like it won’t be anytime soon. It’s my month where I start to prepare for the second half of the year, harking back to the days of ...
End of Summer…. As We Know It….
At least we have a playlist to cheers as we mourn the end of summer and look forward to the crisp Autumn days (and pumpkin everything)... Things to look forward to on the playlist include (but are definitely not limited to): Duran Duran Icona Pop Kelly Clarkson (old school) Vance Joy X Ambassadors (not the Renegades song, although we do love ...
Five Easy Ways to Exercise On-The-Go
It's summer. And before you know it (don't hate me) the holidays will be here. We're constantly on the go...we're constantly traveling. We're constantly busy and need to be able to stay in shape without the fuss and muss. Whether I'm running to a meeting and only have 30 minutes in the AM (at home), at ...
Shake it Off…
No, I'm not about to recite the lyrics to Taylor Swift's hit song, but she did have something there. Sometimes, we just have to: "shake it off." A good friend once told me that she was looking forward to seeing the lemonade I made. It took me a while to realize that she knew I'd overcome the ...
The Daily Grind Playlist
Because sometimes you need some chill jams to keep you rolling through the day. My faves as of late (may not be new, but still damn good) include some goodies I found from TV soundtracks and sitting on a barstool and listening to the bar DJ... How You Like Me Now - The Heavy Gold Guns Girls - ...
Time – She’s no Pushover – Management
Time management. Since we were kids, we were told we need to learn to manage our time: do our homework, go to volleyball practice, yearbook club, and wake up for school without being late. Then college rolled around. We were on our own. No parents or siblings to say "get up!" We had to push ourselves ...
reading made simpler
We all have our excuses. I don't have time. I have other things to do. I don't want to carry a book with me. My commute is too hectic. But reading has truly never been easier, and I dig it. First I took the leap a few years back into the Kindle and all the digital ...
Perplexed
She sits in a coffee shop Her pencil twirling round and round Perplexed in confusion Unsure of the page to turn The lamp dims letting shadows in The fan quells the dampness A chair tilts in the background The mirror reflects a jaded rust Her eyes scan the room She bits her lip in an unsure distrust Her eyebrow raises She crosses the other leg The door ...
Making healthier choices each day
I struggle with healthier choices, just like the next person. I constantly crave sugar and carbs, but being gluten free has changed that for me. The options are less, which in turn has made me make healthier food choices overall. But you don't have to be GF to eat better. It all starts with a mindset, ...
Judge Yourself
I read a post recently that spoke about how some women are told "they don't have to dress up" for their office. I was actually told that in the past as well and it made me realize...whether you're in a conservative or casual office, people have dress code expectations. They either expect you to be ...
