Book Review: Balancing Acts by Zoe Fishman
Balancing Acts by Zoe Fishman
I was swayed into reading this book due to the “yoga” influence. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s how the book fell into my lap (the keyword yoga in the Cincinnati Library database). This was a quick read that I didn’t get too emotional invested in but it really could have been better.
4 women rekindle at a reunion after college. They...

1) Take it outside: Summer is upon us! That means the temperatures are high, the grass is thick, and it’s time to tote that mat out of doors. Some cities offer community yoga classes in the summer months, but even if you’re on your own, find a good spot and see what an open air practice can do…

Book Blogger Hop Question
“How many books are currently in your To-Be-Read (TBR) Pile?”
Well, that’s a dozy of a question. At any given moment, there are always infinite books to be read. I don’t know how people can be like “Oh, I don’t plan on reading anything” as I’ve always got a good 100 books I’d like to read at some...

21 Simple Ways to Live an Exceptional Life - by... →
Everyone wants to live an exceptional life. The problem arises when it comes time to define what that means to you. If you embrace someone else’s definition of what an exceptional life is, you will end up disappointed sooner or later, because you alone have to determine what you want.
It can be tough to get clear on what you want, and you won’t always be perfectly clear, but the goal isn’t to...

Things to Do More - More, More, More!
I’m always a person in retrospect. In that, I can always outline what I’d like to do more of or less of or have changed - once it is already too late. Recently - especially with Michael’s sister staying with us and the weather getting hot, hot, hot - I feel like I have no time for anything. That’s never good. I’m going to try to nip this one in the bud with a list.

Passive Judgement
Today on the list of things I don’t get: passive judgement. I don’t understand the point of passively aggressively tweeting a “general thought” when it is clearly directed at someone or referring to friends by initials only to insult them “privately”. Remember the whole “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” notion?...

Food AGAIN
I know I whine a lot and it frequently comes off as high-horse but it isn’t intended and most of the time is genuinely confused so bear with me. When my mother came to visit with us a few months ago, she was here for a week. When we went to Whole Foods to get dinner and any groceries she might need, she bought herself dinner and a mango that looked yummy. Michael’s sister is here for a...

Living Room: Re-Redo
As you should have all learned from our last apartment redo in September and our “update still looks like this” photo series a few months ago. Well, we did it again. This time, it was rational: with the pool open, it is a lot more noise by the door so we had to move the desk as far away as possible (I work from home). Now, there are still some tweaks needed to be done (little attention...

5 Ingredient Date Bars - No Bake!
I’ve discussed before my passion for cooking but this one from Oh She Glows really knocks it right out of the park. I made these not too long ago and about died. I didn’t even know I liked dates at all (turns out they just need to be smushed). Easy, omgosh-yumm, super healthy & quick. Why bother with anything else?
