Why I'm Passionate about Momma's & Preventative Care
It’s a battle I signed up for, was willing to fight and continue to show up for daily- educating the masses on why massage is not a luxury, but rather, one component of your overall personal health journey. The $13 Billion dollar spa industry, which has more than doubled in the last 7 y...

You. Whoever you want to be.
Just because you have always been like XYZ, or always done XYZ, doesn't mean it's what defines you. I believe we define ourselves continuously. Who said just because you liked something at one time, means you always need to like that same thing, idea, style, concept, ect.? Evolution is change...

Momma's Day Lovin'
"If you wait until it's done, you'll never have anyone over!" That's what my future Mother-in-law said to me in regards to my not wanting to entertain people while our house is in remodel phase... She is 100% correct.While the entire 2nd floor has been vacated for demo & rebuild, I am now sleepi...

Why I won't sell out to Groupon, Living Social, or any other group buying deal sites
Who doesn't love a deal? We are all guilty of that excitement we feel after we know we've gotten a really good deal. (I mean, I just got some great new office decor on sale at Pier 1 Imports!) Companies have capitalized on this, hence the creation and boom of Groupon, Living Social and the liking, t...

It's been Bobbified!
Today is my day off, and I'm trying a new approach to the typical "to do list." This morning I decided, and pronounced to my friends on Facebook, that I was going to make a list simply of all the things I accomplished. Now normally, I would create a list of all the stuff I know I want to get d...

Healthy Chocolate Pudding
Imagine that! A pudding that is good for you!? Yep, you read me correctly. Last Mother's Day, I tried my hand at a raw chocolate cake that was made from figs and walnuts for the brunch I hosted. It was good, however it was more like fudgy brownies, than cake. This year, I decided to try ano...

Breath of Life
