Back from an amazing trip with the girls in Miami. I won’t blog about it because what happens in Miami stays in Miami BUT there are two very important things worth mentioning: Barry’s Bootcamp It needs to open in Livingston stat! I know we have 10,000 places to workout in town HOWEVER I am 100% sure this would be a gold… Read More
It’s starting. Mitzvah date hell. I hear the chatter. I see the faces. What date did you get? Everybody is freaking out. The worst case scenario is that your son/daughter gets the same date as a close friend. Zach got his date last month. Our temple gave us a choice – April or September. I chose September because we are… Read More
Today is my final FULL day of the cleanse. I decided to jump on the scale this morning just for shits and giggles and in 17 days I lost 4.5 lbs. Although that seems like a tiny number, it is a healthy number and I am very satisfied! I do still need to lose a few more but this is… Read More
You know how you have something in mind that you want to wear but you can’t seem to find it anywhere? That would be me. 20 stores later and still nothing to wear Friday night. I don’t feel like schlepping to the city tomorrow but I can’t find anything. I kind of love this Ramy dress but seems way short… Read More
So I am definitely in a weird place. Heading into week 3 and I am a mixed bag of emotions. Part of me is craving pizza and wine. LOTS OF WINE. The other part of me is not sure how in the world I can ever eat a piece of pizza again. After eating clean for almost 3 weeks, no… Read More
If you can believe it, I am still going strong. Today is Day 11. I decided to not workout this week except for Friday’s Soul Cycle class. I was hoping to get into the Noa Battle of the 90’s class Saturday but there is a waitlist..BOO. I should have gotten on that earlier. story of my life. I do everything… Read More
Three weeks ago I got a call from a friend in my yoga class. She just got involved with this new beauty company called Beautycounter and she was dying to tell me about it. Um. I wasn’t so interested. I have received countless, COUNTLESS phone calls, texts, emails from so many people about a few other beauty lines that I… Read More
Day 6. Saturday I decided to go to Super Yoga Man’s workout (a.k.a Joey) on Saturday morning. Well that was pretty spectacular. For so long I have been trying to cardio my way through hot yoga. This class was a whole other level of yoga. Not that flow is not but Joey’s class is so tuned into how to do… Read More
Day 5. Friday This is the best I have felt since I started the cleanse. I woke up, turned on some tunes and started dancing in my kids room. My kids already think I am nuts so this was nothing surprising to them except that Zach asked “Why I was in such a good mood?” Hmm am I normally not?… Read More
I have tried it all. Every single diet. I swear. not lying. It took me a long time to realize that “dieting” wasn’t the answer. Why? Because every time I dieted, I lost the weight (awesome) but it always crept back up in months time. When I did P90x, I was in the best shape I had ever been in… Read More
Awhile back I took a poll on Facebook asking about camp stores they shop at in their ‘hood. I got a ton of answers but everyone seemed to recommend the same 5-10 stores. Amazing! There are over 6,300 sleep away camps and only a handful of stores. There was one store/website in particular that seems to be at the top… Read More
When we first started our search for camp I was at a loss. There are a zillion sleep away camps. How did I end up in Maine? I knew I wanted Zach to get out of D0dge and separate from his school friends. I had this idealistic place in mind that had a beautiful lake, natural beauty, incredible instruction including… Read More
Whenever I hear about a new restaurant I run. Especially when I hear oysters, raw bar, and the words “you must go.” Truthfully, it is hard to find a great oyster bar without having to make the trip into the city. So when I heard about 100 Steps in Cranford, it was a no brainer. We made the reservation a… Read More
It is 3:30am. Do you know where your kids are? Mine are sleeping as well as Greg. I have been tossing and turning for an hour thinking about all the below: How long should I lay here until I get out of bed? I can’t believe I got Zach’s Bar Mitzvah date for 2017. Do I need to call Joe… Read More
Snow day means Pinterest day. A ton of great finds on there, it is so hard to walk away. I saw these this morning on Smart School house and thought how cute these would be to make with the kids IF you have the ingredients at home. If not, save it and make them on the next snow day. I… Read More
