I am going out on a limb here but, I am pretty sure it is safe to say that most people would agree that there are never enough hours in a day to get everything done. I am so happy with my new job, well at least my third day hasn't scared me away yet, …

First Day
Hard to believe that hours ago I was in New Jersey and yesterday was my first day on the job. I was greeted in the reception area with a warm welcome sign and then the day sped by meeting people, acquainting myself with the office and reviewing the employee handbook. This is the last time …
Quick Trip
Somehow it is already Monday morning, the weekend has come and gone and I am embarking on my first, of many weeks, at my new job. I am not quite sure what I am getting myself into, but after a weekend recharging with my family I know I can conquer anything. Even though it was …
Home again Home again
Only a few sleep-filled hours later and I am now in New Jersey. Before the House Wives and Jersey Shore - New Jersey was just a place I called home for 18 years. I haven't set foot in my house for 1 and a half years, but it felt like I had never left. The …
Leaving one home for another
Yesterday was my last day of work at the non-profit I have worked with for the past 2 years living in San Francisco. My coworkers gave me a very nice send-off lunch, full of fresh food, good laughs and fond memories. It was weird to clean up my desk and pack up my things with …
Dirty girls do it all the time…
LAUNDRY that is! Living an active lifestyle that involves trips to the gym, pilates classes and bay view runs 6 to 7 days a week, leaves a girl with smelly, sweaty clothes. Yesterday was laundry day, so that meant scrounging for quarters, gathering my clothes and hauling all of them down the street to the …

Sunday's are reserved for moving slower, taking care of errands and lounging in the evening. I did take care of errands, like going to the market, and I did lounge in the evening, but the moving slowly part did not happen. I woke up and ran 5 miles in the beautiful spring sun - but …
A balanced bowl
While the weather so far this week has not been ideal San Francisco weather (super windy and quite chilly), the warmer weather is supposed to blow in this weekend. In honor of the springlike weather (and really just to encourage it to come my way), I made a sunshine smoothie: 1/2 cup of almond milk, …
Standing Room Only
Have you heard of this new fad of standing desks? Well, I do not have one of these new fangled contraptions that allows you to comfortably view your computer screen and type while in a standing position, but that did not stop me from creating my own version. My colitis has been acting up lately …
cheaper than therapy
As everyone knows life, has it's up and downs that leave us stressed, excited, overwhelmed, happy... What to do with all of these emotions!?! I do... pilates! After an hour of stretching, posing, pulsing and tucking, combined with deep breathing I feel a huge sense of relief and calm. As soon as I walk into …
