Review for Ladies: Silicone and Softcups

So I was talking with my sister-in-law tonight over a huge piece of chocolate cake — the Great Wall of Chocolate, to be exact.  (Seriously, if you’ve never had the Great Wall at PF Chang’s, you’re missing out.  Chocolate lover’s rejoice; the Great Wall will satisfy all you’re chocolatey-chocolate cravings.)  But I digress. I mention [...]

Arizona Hot Springs

When it comes to hiking, I’m a sucker for anything that involves water.  Give me a lake or river, or throw in a waterfall, and you can pretty much count on me showing up (and I may have bells on). So much in the desert southwest is dry.  It’s beautiful.  But there tends to be [...]

Hiking Anniversary Narrows, Lake Mead

Writing Through a Funnel

I’ve got to be honest.  The writing has been slow going.  I keep getting the feeling I want to write, I want to create, but it hasn’t happened.  And I’m not just talking about the blog.  I’m talking about my other writing too. Something in me has changed. Not to say I’m not interested in [...]

Did you have a moment where there wasn’t mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present? __________________________________ I am somewhat obsessed with being active, working my muscles, getting in some good cardio.  Years ago, this [...]

Best Lazy Day Workout

So the other day, I was walking through the park.  I’d been cooped up in the house all day and hadn’t done much in terms of, well, movement.  Shall we say, I needed some exercise.  But as I walked I couldn’t help but feel sluggish.  Hell, let’s be honest, I was feeling pretty damn lazy.  [...]

The Less-Meatatarian Diet

This post was written by Heather Rae.  Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. A year ago, I posted on this blog that I’m inching my way toward becoming a vegetarian.  Honestly, I can’t believe a year has passed since I started this endeavor.  And seeing as how my I-want-to-be-a-vegetarian anniversary just passed, now is a [...]

Join the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry

I’m taking a break from my usual blog posts on Tuesday and Thursday of this week.  Here’s a favorite among the archives.  Enjoy!  (I’ll see you Saturday for a brand new book review.) I recently made the decision to join the National Bone Marrow Donor Program.  I’ll be sending in my testing packet tonight to [...]

Adventures in Rock Climbing

This post was written by Heather Rae.  Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. One of my favorite activities: checking items off the bucket list.  Thus, I’m very happy to report that I checked something off this weekend. I went rock climbing! Rock climbing was an activity I added to the list when I was trying [...]

FREE Fitness Videos (I Love Free Stuff)

This post was written by Heather Rae.  Follow me on Twitter or StumbleUpon. I have a morning ritual that I abide by pretty much no matter what.  I read, I eat breakfast, I clean up the house, I workout. I’ve been following this routine for years. Yes, I have to adjust my schedule if I, [...]
