MIND. BODY. SOUL.
Written by contributing blogger, Sonia Sahota. We can all agree that this winter has been one for the books. Thankfully, there is a light at the end of the tunnel…. SPRING is near! Spring is definitely my favorite season of the year. I like to think that spring brings new beginnings. As winter passes, and flowers ...
It can't be helped. Most of us, even if we are already on a healthy journey, want to optimize our exercise and workout routines in the beginning of the year. Although I typically take spin, pilates and barre classes, and free weights on my off days, I wanted to do more. I decided to add ...
It's only a little while after the New Year, and I don't know about you but I can already feel the grind of the year. The work week is off to a hot start, our calendars are filling up, and yes, winter is definitely here. Can you imagine walking to the gym in negative temps ...
...do you really want to be that hamster who's still running on the same wheel, not really going anywhere? I doubt it, cause I sure as hell don't.

In my twenties, anytime I had a tough time with someone or was having a rough time in school or work, I had an itch to go shopping. I wanted an instant satisfaction and feeling of happiness. The thrill of finding a nice new pair of shoes or that perfect top for Friday night...it ...
I'm that person who falls over walking. Trips on myself, and constantly spills something on my own shirt. You'd be lucky if it wasn't your shirt. Slightly uncoordinated to say the least, and definitely clumsy. And forget sports like softball...I was the kid who struck out so many times I was afraid to go up ...
