Workouts: July 30 – August 3

I still need to get more cardio in…as much as I’m loving yoga, I know I need it. Monday Noon:  I did my 100 Challenge on Monday this week, partly to get it over with, partly so it wouldn’t be the same day at Hot 

I Don’t Qualify for Medicare!

I get something in the mail once a week in my name about my upcoming Medicare benefits.  I know it says “What You Need to Know About Medicare Before You Turn 65”, but do I need to know these things 32 years early?!! Lo is 

July Birchbox Review

The July Birchbox theme was the 5 senses.  It was a decent box, but I probably wouldn’t purchase many of the items.  I can use everything in it (except the earbuds – who needs those!).  It was still fun to get the box and check

Gardening Part I

Creamy Ricotta Cheesecake

Creamy Ricotta Cheesecake

Mmmm..Cheesecake. I found this recipe in USA Weekend as I was sorting the mail.  I don’t always flip through this paper, but I’m glad I did because as soon as I saw the recipe, I wanted to make it.  It’s an Ellie Krieger recipe, so
