A Savvy Reflection

It’s been a while, but I’m back. Unintentionally I took a couple months off of writing and retreated from life and the many cards she dealt me while experiencing a few losses in my family and circle of friends. CANCER and DEATH have become frequent visitors in the lives of many around me. The losses […]

Holiday Blues Relived

Every year during the Christmas holiday, I get caught up in the traditions of baking, shopping, gift wrapping and snuggling on the sofa watching Lifetime Movie Network holidays movies during my two week sabbatical from the corporate world. I also try to keep close to my side my iPad, laptop and notebook to jot down […]

Fitness Detox Again, and Again

Today is the first day of my new 30 Day Detox and Fitness Challenge. I chose December 1st because I knew if I waited until after the holidays, it would be an epic fail. Every year, like a ticking clock gliding around to the 12th hour, I recommit myself to a healthy lifestyle every year […]

A Thankful Season

Every year, the festive season of reflection falls upon us on the last Thursday of November, which sometimes falls on my birthday. Just a five days ago, I celebrated my wonderful 30+ years, and it was fantastic. I was thankful that a cluster of my oldest and newest friends took time out of their busy […]

30 Day Detox Challenge

Food is the source of my energy…and I’ve vowed to recycle that energy into eating to live, and not living to eat. I’ve always been addicted to sweets…cupcakes in particular, and ever since the influx of cupcakeries has flooded every other street corner in the DC area, I’ve struggled to kick my addiction to sugar. […]

Traveling Chronicles: Luggage Junkie

I travel at least once every two months for my “9-5” gig, and would normally fancy myself as being a pretty good luggage packer, especially if I’m traveling for less than three days. However, I recently returned from a week-long business trip and was faced with the grueling fact that I no longer possess the […]

A Savvy Mishap – Reusable Ice Gone Bad

I’ve been juicing for 24 consecutive days, religiously, so you’ll understand why I questioned my religion when I thought I had accidentally poisoned myself. The morning was as normal as any other morning, except, I overslept an hour as opposed to my usual 20 minute delay. Once the kid was dressed and fed along with […]

Favorite Thanksgiving Dishes

I have three favorite foods that are masterful, mouth-watering satisfactions when served together. Many who know me accept that I’m not a queen of flour, fire and cooking oil, so they’ll appreciate the credit and praise to those who skillfully create the most delectable treats to serve on Thanksgiving Day. Every year I look forward […]

Election Day Rumors

A lot of rumors float around during election time to influence a decrease in voter participation, and desparation relies on the naïveté of first time voters to dispel myths to misconstrue as factual information for their digestion. So in order to stomp out any potential rumors and to increase voter participation, here are a few things to consume for nourishment on the way […]

The Bucket List…To Do

My daily life consists of  jotting down several tasks to complete throughout the day, week and month — or whenever I get a jolt of energy to complete at least one item on the ten notebooks surrounding me. Every day, my goal is to scratch off at least five items off of my growing lists, […]
