After a long day of wearing makeup, having my face sweat during the hot, humid summers in Philadelphia or even dealing with all the pollution in the air – nothing makes me more excited than washing my face as soon as I get home. Having my face feel squeaky clean is honestly the best feeling and I’m extremely adamant about washing my face in the morning and evening…
If you are new to my blog, welcome! And if you’re starting here first, please check my previous post on why I decided to use the UPRIGHT Go Trainer to help me achieve perfect posture. I am a firm believer that practice makes perfect, or, at least, as close to perfect as you can become. After a couple of days of using the UPRIGHT Go Trainer, I…
OK, Ladies, who doesn’t want luscious, full and dream-worthy eyelashes? If you’re on social media or own a television, I am sure you have noticed more and more ads surfacing on a variety of products and services to help us achieve long, luscious eyelashes. Clearly, someone is onto something, and I am not mad about it at all! Not only do I see these advertisements daily, but also…

Living in a big city comes with advantages and disadvantages. I could rattle off a few, but one of the biggest advantages is endless transportation options. Both Julie and Kathryn moved to Philadelphia from cities where we both relied on our cars for everything. But now, after living in a big city, we started to wonder if we actually needed to own a car. We decided to do…
Shop: Sheets | Robe | Sleep Mask | Duvet Cover | Pillows After a long day of constant hustle, nothing sounds more relaxing than climbing into a comfortable bed to recharge for the next day. For most people, the bedroom is an escape from the grind of the day – well at least it is for me. However, as much as I love my bedroom, sometimes my…
These muffins are my favorite! Not only are they super easy to make they take less than 30 minutes to make. You will have a quick mouth watering, protein packed snack that you don’t have to feel badly about. Thanks to Kodiak Cakes for the initial recipe and see below on some of my modifications. I always like to add cinnamon, mashed bananas and chocolate chips as well.…
Throughout childhood, I have vivid memories of my mother constantly reminding my siblings and me to stand up straight. She tried everything; from pulling our shoulders back when we would slouch, to balancing a book on our heads (more for muscle memory), to even wearing this strange device that had a little needle that would poke you when you started to slouch. I give my mother a ton…
I just finished my stay at the luxurious Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort and I am super sad to leave. Why do vacations end in a blink of an eye? Well even though the time flew by, my stay was nothing sort of fabulous and The Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort is a spot you need add to your vacation list! The Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort…
Photo: Me with Chef Scott Conant Two of my favorite things would be traveling and be eating at fabulous restaurants (my husband doesn’t count as he is always my number one). NYC is a quick train ride away from Philadelphia and every time I head there you will find me dining at the delicious Fusco. It’s magical! Because I’m such a fan of Fusco, I became acquainted with…
When you think about Botox, what is the first thing that runs through your mind? I’m thinking it’s probably a variety of negative or positive thoughts depending on the information you research or whom you speak with. Am I right? Well, just like everything in this world, everyone has different views on everything and I wanted to share with you my experience with Botox injections and why I…
There is something about candles that has a calming effect on me. From the initial lighting of a match that initiates the burning of the candle – that once lit has the ability to let my mind wander in deep thoughts while gazing at the gentle flame – to the overall aroma that fills my home with the lovely fragrance of the candle. The whole process brings me…
Coffee, it can be a huge part of anyone’s day. Some of us have it first thing in the morning to start our day and for some of us, maybe it’s an all-day thing. However you like your coffee, we all have one thing in common; we utilize it to get us going. While most of us are on the go, we are consistently seeking new spots to…
Julie and Kathryn at the 2018 Allstate Hot Chocolate 15k/5k Run in Philadelphia finishing under 27 minutes! Great way to start off their race season. Guess what? It’s that time of year again where I start my training for 5k’s, 10k’s, Half-Marathons and Tough Mudder. When I tell people I’m training for a race, they always look at me like I am crazy. And their usual response is “Why”…
Whenever I prepare for something important I have to get my mind right. If I’m not mentally in the right place, anything that follows can be a catastrophe. Mental preparedness brings forth more balance, consistency and the ability to do things with a clear head and a focused mind. One of my most memorable times of pushing my mental (and physical) self, was when I was preparing for…
Photos: Provided by Camille Peruto Have you ever attended an event and when you walked into the venue you were instantly mesmerized by a performer that hit you at your core? I’ve been to plenty of events/concerts and even restaurants that had live bands/performers and nothing struck me more than when I heard Camille Peruto performing at The Union League in Philadelphia. To say I was drawn to…
