Healthy happy you.
Once the weather warms up, it's out with the boots and in with the sandals. And when I say sandals, I mean flip-flops — in every style, color, and brand — I practically live in them 24/7!

Since my post on Cole Haan Nike Heels, I have been on the lookout for cute, comfortable shoes that you can actually move in. While at this point, nothing tops those adorable (and sexy) heels, Merrell does make some cute everyday shoes that you can really run around in. The Merrell Plaza ($90.00) shoe is ridiculously comfortable, but doesn't look like a sporty shoe (which is how it feels). The Read more
At first glance you may think that I have lost my mind writing about heels but bear with me here. My sister and my mom have been raving about these new heels that Oprah apparently loves.

While comfortable, cotton shirts, shorts, socks, Read more
If you're in the market for a minimalist running shoe, you may want to check out the new Adizero Rush running shoe from Adidas ($100). Each shoe clocks in at only 6.2 ounces but doesn't skimp on support. I recently tested a pair during my three-to-four-mile runs; here's what I thought of the line. I'm a sucker for a minimalist shoe, but even I was surprised at just how lightweight the Adizero Read more
Around here, there's no exercise we don't love. Yoga, running, and rock climbing all have a place in our hearts. But we don't discount the most unassuming exercise of all, walking. It's a great no-fuss way to exercise (all you need are comfortable walking shoes!), and a moderately intense pace — 100 steps per minute — is the key to losing weight. If you're in the mood for taking advantage of Read more
