The Calm Before the Storm

It was the day before the big blizzard was to hit the North Eastern states, and all was calm, sunny and even a bit mild. It was absolutely a lovely day, one that Philadelphia has been missing for long but then Old Man Winter had to threaten us with the next big blizzard, Titan! I am way beyond over this winter season weather, after a while, wearing layer after layer gets to be quite boring and annoying. Alas, that is life and one must keep it moving and assimilate to the weather conditions. This outfit does just that, layered with love!

Strong is the New Skinny

Some of you may have an idea of my addiction to fitness, it's pretty serious! For me, fitness is a lifestyle, living a healthy life has always been important to me, from making smart choices with food to playing sports growing up. I blame my mother for always instilling healthy choices into my brain! For me, it's not about getting skinny or thin but, strong. As of late, I even find myself wondering if I can lift that person, in social situations! Being somewhat strong gives me confidence. I've compiled a short list of a few of my favorite exercises to get strong! 

Cool Runnings

It was one fine, chilly afternoon in Philadelphia. Inches of snow was on the ground, the sky was heavily clouded and thousands of people were calmly chatting  and walking around in their skivvies! No, it's not a normal everyday Philadelphian thing, but a big group of people getting together to make a difference for tons of children in need. It was the day of Cupid's Undie Run and boy was it a sight to see!
