Last week I had a routine mammogram. It was time to check the "tatas" and do my female due diligence. I drove to Plano to a new diagnostic radiology clinic and by the time I was finished, I was starving to death. Hangry is more like it. I was looking around trying to find a decent… Continue reading Spoiled
FITness holds a candle
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! I'm wildly attracted to the fragrant scent of citrus candles. Call me crazy, but occasionally I will light a candle and burn it all day and night just because I… Continue reading FITness holds a candle

God Winks
We have a saying here in Dallas, Texas and that is, "if you don't like the current weather conditions, just wait a minute."

Somethings never go out of style. Trends may change but there are a few staple pieces of active wear that will almost never let a girl down.

Tid Bit Tuesday: Making Space
Calling all dishwasher loaders, this blog post is for you! Call me crazy, but I get a slight thrill when I purposely situate a jumbo load of dirty dishes into the dishwasher.

FITness Fetish
Is your fetish good or bad for your health? #fitness #abercrombiefitness #overweight #weightloss #personaltrainer #onlinecoach #fitspo #fittips #mealplanning #mealplan #Healthyeating #workoutvideos #woroutprogram #exercise
Do you ever feel like you’re suffocating from all of the STUFF?
Sometimes I look around my house and feel like a hostage. I’m surrounded by too much clutter, not to be confused for my admitted furniture fetish. I’m addicted to furniture…so sue me!
My Mr. Chicken Fry has a big time FOOT fetish. He pays attention to FEET and thankfully adores mine! It’s a serious thing this fetish of his. I literally have girlfriends that will unequivocally NOT come around my hubby if they aren’t properly polished and pedicured to perfection. It’s true! They fear the wrath of the Chicken Fry mock! He will openly rake you over the coals for poor foot care.
I had this photo made as a surprise wedding gift. I snuck out his two mangy amazing labs under the radar but what he loved most was my bare foot!!!
I guess…

Shut the ____ door!
What do you need to shut the door on? #abercrombiefitness #fitnessblogger #personaltrainer #onlinecoach #mealplan #mealprep #healthydiet #cleaneating #exercise #fitnessmotivation
February has arrived and I have never felt more compelled to share some awesome news. We are basically in month two of a brand spanking new year. We are at the tip-top of the month and I’m here to encourage you to shut the _______(fill in the blank) door on life’s leeches sucking your mind, time and energy. Tis the season to shut the front/back door and while you’re at it, shut the FAT door and ALL the other doors open that are draining you dry.
It’s been said that the year 2017 is in alignment with biblical prophecy for rebirth and great change. Entering into this bright bold new year is a foretold mind-set of inheritance. A convergence, if you will, of empowerment and promotion. We as a people and a nation are shifting from a dull negative narrative to a glossy assignment for alignment. Don’t you just love that!?!?! Now, I…
