Recently, while in the middle of a taming my frizzy skinny hair under the warm heat of a hand-held blow dryer, I had a very deep thought. It's possible that the serene hum of the dryer coupled with the vibrating hot air had me in a trance and melted my brain into mush. The truth is,… Continue reading Dryer thoughts

I relish candles. There is something expressive about a singular flame slowly melting wax away and I like it. It's captivating and makes me happy!

Wasn’t that fun?
If you missed it…get your butt in gear and click over to yesterday’s cardio combo post.
I have been sharing some of the BEST OF’s from 2017. I write a ton of custom workouts a year and these are some of the workout warriors favorites.
Maybe you’re like…”Angi, all of your workouts look so easy. Anyone can do these exercises. Whats the big deal?”
The big deal is actually participating. Getting physical and active.

I’m so ready for Summer. Aren’t you?
Summer has a beat of its own and I’m chomping at the bits for some play time. Summer brings a much-needed slow pace and tranquility that SOOTHES and revitalise my soul. A nice break from the morning madness, lunch making and the afternoon carpool soccer mom routine.

Here are a few of my Summer loves ♥ that I simply can’t do without. Want more check this out….Summer Lovin.

I can’t be the only person who slightly gags and utterly grosses out at the mere thought of a hair brush laying on top of the kitchen counter. Anybody else feeling my vibe on this one? How about a pair of tennis shoes or sweaty stinky socks lying on the dining table or counter top? Do any either of these scenarios make your cringe? NAH -ASTY!
HEllo, it’s because they are out-of-place!! These items don’t belong there! A hairbrush, in my world, has no place around or near the kitchen area. In my mind there is like a 10 to 12 foot unspoken, invisible radiant barrier that surrounds the kitchen /dining/ food area from certain toiletry items. This force field is to never to be penetrated by a brush, comb, hair tie, rubber band, head band, hair spray, deodorant or anything that might contaminate the food area. Also on…
