Last year, after I published my Mother’s Day Gift Guide, a few people reached out to me requesting a local version.  I thought it was actually a great idea so this year I turned 2015’s guide into a Livingston, Millburn, Short Hills, Summit version. I did add a few online gifts but all in all I kept it neighborhood friendly. EXERCISE… Read More

RESISTANCE BANDS, TONING, WEIGHTS – Welcome to Bari Micro…my favorite class at Bari. No trampolines, just 55 minutes of pure toning. The class usually has a waiting list a mile long for very good reason. I approached the tribe at  Summit Bari to see if we could put together a micro class for $20 this FRIDAY at 8:30am. I thought… Read More

Tomorrow I leave for my 4th annual Miami girls trip. I have been running around like a lunatic trying to get ready while taking care of the kids, the dog and trying to work. Yes I do that also. I don’t want a pat on the back. I just want to complain about how hard we have it compared to… Read More

This beauty is located at 306 Warwick Avenue.  If you are unfamiliar with South Orange, it is a wonderful town! According to the New York Times “WHEN asked what they like best about living in South Orange, residents… Read More

I always had my own style growing up. I was obsessed with fashion and began reading Seventeen, Elle, and W magazine at a very young age. So young, I can barely remember what age. Definitely around 10.  I do remember begging my mother for a subscription to every fashion magazine under the sun. Nothing would make me happier than walking… Read More

Do you obsess about things like I do? Like I will see a bracelet on some random girl, ask her where she got it and literally stalk the planet until I find it. And I mean STALK! So a month ago I saw these Nike kicks that I fell head over heels for (no pun intended). I found them on… Read More

Last year I wrote a Passover recipe blog that received such rave reviews I figured why not try one for 2015. Since I am constantly struggling to keep off the 10 lbs that so desperately do not want to leave my body, I thought I would try to make everything a tad healthier this year.  I figured why not try… Read More

Last year I wrote a post about SaveMyMitzvhaDate.com, the Official Mitzvah Date Keeper. I know many of you read it because many of you became members. You know, the more of you who sign up the better it works. If you didn’t read it, please read now before you continue: DID YOU GET YOUR MITZVAH DATE? One of the best… Read More

I just returned last night from California and I miss it already. Between the weather, the juice bars, the restaurants, the exercise situation, the beaches and the shopping,  what is not to love. I constantly ask myself why I live in New Jersey, go through torturous winters when I could be living in warmth, maintaining a healthy lifestyle year round…. Read More

Leave it to me- I have to leave in 3 hours to catch a 7am flight to LA  and of course I am up. Gd forbid I could sleep until my alarm is supposed to go off. Now my day is going to be total shit. Speaking of alarms, here are my thoughts: 1. Did you know the new Apple… Read More

It’s a place where you can read my fun and crazy reviews about all the places I have escaped to for a weekend, a week. or longer. As… Read More

Worst day in the calendar year – Valentine’s Day. Why it exists is beyond me (is it an actual “holiday”?) The pressure to give a gift, send flowers, chocolate or whatever your love desires is plain ridic. I appreciate the flowers and the gifts when they are least expected, not when there is a specific day in the calendar that… Read More

Most people would tell you their best thoughts and ideas occur in the shower. For some reason mine are in the last five minutes of Soul Cycle. The wind down, the darkness, and the last song of the 45 min class takes me away to a place I try to visit often.  I am swept away into my head where… Read More
