MIND. BODY. SOUL.
We give a gift by adopting a pet and giving them a loving and caring home. In return we get love, devotion, laughter, memories that can't be tarnished, and pure unconditional friendship with a new member of the family. In addition, when we lease expect it, our pets can be the perfect therapy. They're always there, ...
Written by blogging contributor, Daniela Forte. As this year draws to a close, I find myself in a bittersweet position. This year for me was a whirlwind of sorts with a tremendous amount of changes, some of which I never saw coming. With those changes, I learned several valuable lessons that I will take with me ...
Good habits are not just something that transform you over night. They don't just start and stay forever. They are a pain to begin (at times), take hard work to continue, and typically involve lifestyle changes in order to be good habits in the long term. But how do we start? My tip.. Be realistic. Start small and ...
As the new year is upon us it's easy to think...A new year. A fresh bloom and start. A new you. But it's a time to not just make resolutions again, but a time to evaluate how far you've come over the past year, and few years. Perhaps it was a rough and challenging one ...

Written by contributing blogger, Audrea Laffely. My life can be pretty hectic and as I am becoming more successful (and older) it is getting busier and busier. With the holiday season right around the corner (an even busier time), and with a good amount of vacation time left, I decided it was a good time to get ...

When you live in a city, spaces are smaller. Schedules are crazier. You are constantly on the go. And some mornings, getting to the gym seems daunting. That's why I find it necessary and helpful to have some workout items at home to use. I feel less pressured on time and know i can get ...
Sometimes even a cup of coffee isn't enough. You are trudging along, staring at that endless To-Do list thinking, where do I start? Let's back up. Not every morning is easy, but sometimes if we push ourselves we can make that morning kick ass. Wake up and put in a minimum of 30 min of work out ...
