Lucini contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d be interested in sampling their products.  Olive oil, sauces, vinaigrettes?  Where do I sign up?!?! I’ve been a fan of the Mediterranean Diet for some time now.  Lucini‘s products fit perfectly into my eating philosophy. There’s nothing like a freshly baked loaf of Italian [...]

For me, healthy living is about appreciating the simple things in life.  Some days are too busy and I get caught up in everything I have/need/want to do. But I appreciate keeping it simple.  So that’s exactly what I did today! I slept late.  Then I stayed in bed some more.  Snoozing, “meditating,” talking on [...]

It’s been a crazy summer.  While it’s been tons of fun, I’m SO glad that things are calming down and I get can back to “normal.” And “normal” apparently includes trying to prevent Miles from peeing on my flowers.  I’m doing a good job, huh? I need to tend to my tiny Marigolds that are [...]

Oh, the dog days of summer.  Yesterday was HOT! A real scorcher! I didn’t think Miles was going to survive our walk to the Copley Square Farmers Market.

There was lots of color in my diet today.  Absolutely necessary after yesterday’s monochromatic menu. (My post title is also a nod to Walt Disney because as of today’s count, there are 76 days until my Disney vacation!  77 days until the Wine & Dine Half Marathon!) I made of oatmeal using the last of [...]

After my haircut yesterday, I took advantage of the beautiful day and shopped my way down Newbury Street.  Then I wandered back down the Comm Ave Mall and snapped some photos. Women’s Statue on the Comm Ave Mall. I grabbed lunch from b. good.  I ordered a chicken sandwich with tomato, avocado, and salsa.  I [...]

Just like Miles, I got stuck in a rough situation. But unlike Miles, I wasn’t stuck hanging off of the side of the couch.  My rough situation occurred when I tried to go for a run this morning.  I headed out to destroy 3 miles.  And it almost got the best of me! I enjoyed [...]
