How you can get into a Running Routine (Again)

November 29, 2015

I am excited to be working with Jawbone to announce the relaunch of the new UP3 and to share with you all how it has helped me get into a running routine again. 5 years ago, I used to be a runner and I ran between 3-4 times a week. I enjoyed the adrenaline high I got from a run and enjoyed getting into the fresh air. Then one day I just … stopped! I am not really sure why but in all fairness it was a much needed break.

Chobani Cherry Dark Chocolate: A Healthy Indulgence

September 13, 2015


Mmm, I cannot get over chocolate and how good it is. My husband was really in France for a conference and he brought me back the most incredible bar of dark chocolate. I’ve been trying very hard not to eat all of it because even though dark chocolate is significantly healthier than your standard milk or white chocolate, a whole bar of it still has a fair amount of calories.

Enter Chobani, America’s #1 Greek Yogurt brand, is kicking off a new season and saying #HelloSummer with 15 new product varieties. One of those products being their new incredibly delicious and indulgent Cherry Dark Chocolate flavor.
