I Tried Cryotherapy – and Here’s What Happened

Published in: ame Spa & Wellness Collective, Cryotherapy, spa travel, Turnberry Isle

I have a confession to make: I am a Frigophobic. {{{{{{{{Frigophobia=Fear of becoming too cold...brrrrrr}}}}}}} It's not often that I would volunteer to be cold. In fact, I detest the cold so much that I begin dreading the wintertime long before summer is even over. Once the thermometer drops below 60, my body goes into a state of permanent shivers, and throughout the always-punishing … [Read more...] about I Tried Cryotherapy – and Here’s What Happened

Five Tips to Take the “Ugh” Out of Packing For a Trip (and TWO giveaways!)

Published in: Anatomie, Darcy Sneakers, giveaway, Kate Skinny Cargo Pants, packing, packing light, sweepstakes, travel clothing, travel tips, Vionic

I'm in awe of people who travel light, and travel easy. They have it all down to a science: They easily manage with a carry-on (no matter how long a trip they're taking). And they always look great and seem to have just the right things. These are usually the same people who are able to close their eyes and sleep for the entire flight, arriving refreshed and ready to go. I'm so … [Read more...] about Five Tips to Take the “Ugh” Out of Packing For a Trip (and TWO giveaways!)

What I Did on My Summer Vacation

Published in: Happiness, How to deal with coming home from vacation, Midlife, Travel

Remember going back to school as a child, and being asked to write "What I Did On My Summer Vacation?" Being a child that loved to write more than talk, I always looked forward to that particular assignment and the opportunity to express myself on paper. I don't recall much of what I wrote, but I'm confident some of it was filled with details of family vacations and times like when my two siblings … [Read more...] about What I Did on My Summer Vacation

Five Ways to Enjoy a Pain-Free Vacation

Published in: Health, Hot-Cold Massage, Massage, Pain relief, Self-massage, Spot Therapy Vibrating Gel Pack, Staying Healthy, Traveling with pain, Wahl massagers, What to do about pain while you're traveling

You’ve looked forward to it all year…researched, planned and anticipated. It’s finally here - vacation time! And you’re determined not to let anything ruin it. Unfortunately, no matter how meticulously you plan, there are a lot of things that can derail a vacation. Some are simply out of your control – like delayed flights, lost luggage, and perhaps the most infamous of all – the weather. … [Read more...] about Five Ways to Enjoy a Pain-Free Vacation

Gotta Dance!

Published in: Aging, Dance, Happiness, Health, Letting go, Staying Healthy

Do you like to dance? If you do, when is the last time you danced? Dance was a childhood passion that came to a pause long ago. As a young child, I was passionate about ballet dancing. The more lessons I took, the more I loved it and the more I excelled until my local teacher, Judy, recommended that I pursue more serious dancing at a more serious-type dance studio in New York City. I guess I … [Read more...] about Gotta Dance!

Walking: Why Every Step is Special

Published in: Aging, Cardiovascular Health, Exercise, Fitness, Happiness, Moving, Travel, Walking

If you know me, you probably wouldn't be surprised to hear me say that I'm the opposite of a couch potato. I'm of the why-sit-when-you-can-stand variety. In fact, since moving from my house to an apartment, the thing I miss most are my high kitchen countertops which allowed me to stand while working on my computer; perching my laptop on the counters gave me the perfect eye level view. Damn you, … [Read more...] about Walking: Why Every Step is Special

7 Things a trip to Mexico taught me

Published in: Friends, Happiness, Health, Learning something new, Travel

Last week, Alan and I went on a much-needed vacation to Mexico. Although it was only January, the winter was already wreaking havoc with my mood. I got through each day of bitter cold temperatures and snow by telling myself, "Well... at least you'll be getting away to some sunshine and warmth soon." Well-stocked with plenty of sunblock, my kindle loaded with books, I was ready. I even bought new … [Read more...] about 7 Things a trip to Mexico taught me

Family Bonding

Some months before my sister Lynne was turning 60, she made her birthday wishes known to me: She wanted to celebrate her big birthday in Aruba with me and my mother. The three of us hadn't been in one place for a so-called extended period of time since...I can't remember. Over the years, due to physical distance, work, raising families and general busy-ness, our times together were never … [Read more...] about Family Bonding

It’s Never Too Late to Make Healthy Choices

After visiting Miami's Pritikin Longevity Center a while back, I'm happy to say many of the lessons I learned still resonate with me. Instead of using salad dressing, I drizzle my salad with the best balsamic glaze I can afford. I've cut my protein portions from eight ounces to about four, and find that it's just enough, since most of my plate is loaded up with salad and veggies. While some … [Read more...] about It’s Never Too Late to Make Healthy Choices

Exercise and Metbolism: What’s the Deal?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always heard that exercise revs up our metabolism, keeping it like a fat-burning furnace for up to 24 hours after a workout. But like all science, opinions sway back and forth, and then back again until you lose track of what the “latest” really is. Well, I’m sticking to my original version of the story. All I know is that after a workout, my body feels revved up … [Read more...] about Exercise and Metbolism: What’s the Deal?

About Me

What’s this so-called midlife, anyway?

It’s a time of tremendous change, growth and opportunity. A time to re-evaluate our choices, our experiences and ourselves. A time to take what we’ve accumulated up until now and put it to work.

When I turned 50, many things changed... read more about me.
