As I shared a couple of days ago, 2015 is all about balance.  And part of the balance, of course, is getting more active.  Whether I’m taking a walk around the block, jumping on our treadmill, or making a stop at the gym, I have a new item that’s going to be in my bag.

Degree and Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirants for women #TRYDRY

Now I have new dry spray antiperspirants from Degree, Axe and Dove.  I like them because they go on easy, are long-lasting (48-hour protection!), and they won’t leave visible residue on your clothes.  Just because it’s workout gear, doesn’t mean I want those tell-tale white marks under my arms, right?

S’mores are one of those things that most everyone looks forward to in the summer.  Even my husband, who isn’t a big fan of marshmallows, likes them.  But why limit yourself to enjoying the chocolate/marshmallow/graham cracker combination just one season per year?

S'mores Trail Mix Recipe

Well, you could of course move to a warmer weather location where a campfire cookout in January doesn’t require a parka and possibly an ice augur.  Or you could just say “let it snow!” and try my super-simple S’mores Trail Mix recipe. Continue reading »

Did you indulge a little during the holidays this year?  I know I did.  Though maybe not as much as in holidays past, as everyone has been a little under the weather the past couple of weeks so I didn’t bake as much as I usually do.

Three Cheese Tortellini & Asparagus with a Light Creamy Lemon Sauce #BackToBalance

Every year I make resolutions along with the rest of the world.  But this year I’m less about making a resolution and more about putting balance into my life.  I have a lot of posts I plan to share with you this year on taking a lifestyle approach to a “new you”, everything from getting better sleep and making smarter food choices to how to get more active (without necessarily doing that “e” word that some of us dread).

One of my goals for 2015 is to rediscover my style.  I remember in college when I had a closet full of strappy sundresses, a variety of cute sandals, and pretty sparkly jewelry with which to accessorize.  Now my wardrobe mostly consists of jeans and t-shirts with the requisite pair of yoga pants tossed in, paired with flip flops.

Exciting stuff, I know.

One of the first places I want to start is with something I consider to be my main accessory, and that’s my cellphone.  It’s something I have on me at all times, so why not make it as personal as possible?  I already swap out the case on my current phone to match the season, but wouldn’t having an entire phone that’s customized just for you be awesome?

Have you been scouting for after-Christmas sales? I popped into Walmart yesterday for a few things and noticed a bunch of pretty Coty fragrances still available. If you didn’t receive your favorite scent for Christmas, then there’s still time to pick them up.
