Shake and Sip

Ever wonder if you could find a drink that was also good for you? Something that has organic ingredients and nourishment for your body? I recently had the opportunity to try a class at a Lithe Method studio. On this particular day, Art In The Age teamed up with the studio to introduce members on how to make healthy decisions without forfeiting any fun. 

Metropolitan City Winter

Winters can be harsh, especially in the North Eastern cities of the USA. Some days can feel mild and humid with a slight chill then the next day the temperatures can drop 20 degrees with a 30 mph wind! Weather around here has become quite unpredictable, sure you can imagine what it will be like according to the current season, but lately that tip isn't really imperative. Here, in Philadelphia, you live and die by your outerwear. I have flirted with frostbite many times, and I can tell you it's not fun. Nor is sweating in your cashmere finest, during your 10am conference call! I have learned throughout my many Philadelphian winters, the key to defeating old man Winter is dressing in layers. Cold weather chic is possible. 

Then 3 Years Later...

Ever since January of 2012, I've been sharing with the world my views of fashion and my daily on goings. When I started this blog, I didn't think that I would be able to keep up with it but it has pushed me over my the invisible limitations I thought I had. Burgundy Whispers has grown so much since then, and so have I. I'm so excited for what Burgundy Whispers has brought me and looking forward to what it will bring in 2015. 

Gym Formalities

It's the beginning of the year and much of the American public has resolved to induce more fitness into their lives. This time of the year, the flood gates are open and your gym is likely to be filled to capacity more than you are used to, which lately has been the case for the gym that I attend. I think it's wonderful that people are vowing to make fitness more of a habit into their lives, I want others to enjoy and see fitness the way I do. But of course, with this influx of gym members, you meet some of the rudest people who make you wonder how they go through life with out manners. Since I workout 5-6 days a week, I've learned how to avoid awkward interactions and mean mugs. Here are some of my tips to avoid being that annoying person in the gym!

Brand Building

One of the things I am intent upon doing more of this year is building my brand. As a creative and entrepreneur, one of the things that's most important to me is to put my work and expertise out there and recognized. In 2014, I was able to participate in four art exhibits that featured my work, and I've also began taking courses to get certified in personal training. It was a pretty big year for me with a lot of changes and new opportunities. Which is why I want to keep that momentum by finessing my brand into a business with O Public Relations Boutique's Weekend Brand Build.
