photo here When I was in grade school and I wanted to tell someone that I valued their friendship, I would make them a friendship bracelet. “Best Friends Forever,” it meant. Back then, forever maybe lasted until the end of the school year, and by the time next September rolled around, both the bracelets and [...]

For early February it sure has warmed up. Luckily this means more outdoor activities for us ladies. Last night it was in the upper 60s so I decided instead of going to the gym, I’d hit the pavement. Since it was warm enough, I finally was able to try out a new pair of running [...]

Color is one of the single most important weapons you will ever wield as a home-maker trying to infuse a space with style. Color can give a room balance and a theme, and can also be that “wow” factor you may be missing. And don’t stop at the walls. Color in the accessories you use is almost [...]

Feb. 14 is right around the corner. Whether you plan on spending the holiday with your significant other, your children or yourself, books can help you get in the mood and spark creativity. They also make great gifts for loved ones young and old. Here, I’ve highlighted several different kinds of books — each celebrating [...]

Looking for a boot that’s not only stylish, but also rugged and comfortable? We are loving these OluKai O Laila boots right now. They have soft, supple leather, a sturdy toe, great arch support and awesome detail (quirky beading at the end of the laces). Great to pair with a flirty skirt or tight skinny [...]

“Your butt is saggy.” I stared at myself in a full length mirror, hoisting my tush up to resemble the altitude that I wished it would sit at. I thought about the Brazilian swimsuit models with their bronze glutes and let out a dejected sigh as things fell back into their rightful place. “Nice saddlebags,” [...]

One thing I admire about health and fitness magazines is how they showcase exercise. I love images of exercise moves, the easy directions and the small-scale workout plans that are tangible and easy to do at home. This is what I want for Breathe. I want Breathe to be a resource for women to come to [...]

I started growing vegetables in a cold frame two years ago — beginning the process in early February and growing something through early April. It was a big experiment that surprised me in many ways, not the least of which was its success. So this year, we are branching out to something more permanent and [...]

One of my goals for 2012 was to try to expand my workout options. I love running, yoga and weights but I need something new every once in awhile for a little extra “umph!” I tried Aerial Yoga at Rasamaya and it revived my inner Yogi. After that class, I bought a 10 visit pass. [...]

While visiting a neighboring mama for tea on a mid-winter morning, I marveled at her kitchen window alcove filled (filled!) with lettuce greens. They were growing out of rustic boxes she built herself. Not only were they in the perfect spot for thriving, but they were in the perfect spot for snipping and eating. I, [...]

Grapefruit is currently in season and I couldn’t be happier about it. There’s something warm and bright about citrus in the winter, no? It almost makes you forget about the freezing, icy air outside. About a week ago, I got a sudden craving, picked up a bag of juicy, ruby reds and ploughed through them [...]

Pinterest has become almost synonymous with the life of a project hound. If you are online researching tutorials or how-to’s to tackle the next DIY item on your to-do list, then chances are that you have become very familiar with, or at least know of, Pinterest. If you’re curious about what the website is or [...]

In my last blog post, I highlighted several self-help books in an effort to assist women in sticking with their New Year’s resolutions. Motivational books, however, don’t always have to be filled with how-to’s or lists. Inspirational stories can focus on a particular person’s journey or they can teach you something new, make you want [...]

When I was twelve years old, I distinctly remember fingering through the waxy pages of a National Geographic I found in a soggy, old box in the garage and envying its creators. The cover story was about Alaska and the pictures were aerial images of white caps and glaciers, log cabins, a Kodiak bear. It [...]
