I have a confession to make. I haven't run a single mile since June. Early June. After Zooma, when I injured my knee, I needed to take a few steps back and really let it heal. I worked on strength in my legs, core and whole body versus adding miles. I worked on flexibility and stretching too. … [Read more...]
It's Friday! That means we are talking about all things beauty here on TMC. Check out the video below for my thoughts on the new butter LONDON fall/winter colors. If you are feeling so inclined, subscribe to my feed here (it's fixed!) or on YouTube. If not, you run the risk of kittens spontaneously combusting all over the world. Who wants to be responsible for that mess? … [Read more...]

As I stood looking at a Blogher booth display of lace thong style wick-away underpants this weekend I said aloud, "Wow. These would be great for my half-marathon training!" Another blogger next to me exclaimed, "Oh! I'm training for my first half! Which one are you doing?" It's done. It's settled. I'm doing the Hershey Half Marathon on Oct. 21, 2012. I said it before when I finished my first half-marathon in May that I would do another one. Then my knee got the best of me, I didn't run for months and I sort of hoped that no one would remember that I ever said those words. Except that I remembered and I do love a challenge. Plus, it is Hershey! It is the "Sweetest Place on Earth!" There are chocolate aid stations! You know, to keep us all motivated and energized and such. … [Read more...]
This week we are featuring Elvira from the blog, The Pink Sith, a blogger who doesn't just love blogging and taupe eyeshadow but a sense of community amongst bloggers. That is golden. … [Read more...]
The weekend of Blogher is upon us! The biggest women's blogging conference world wide. The packing. It's done! I didn't end up packing 8 pairs of shoes! Huzzah! The train! It's here! Why does it smell so moldy? The Journey. It's long! For me, at least. Ok. So technically it is only 4 plus hours but when you factor in the hazmat spill that occured before your train even arrives, the automatic delays from train congestion and the people who insist on eating an intensely oinion-filled sandwich for what feels like the entire train trip it feels a whole lot longer. But, it is worth it, right? … [Read more...]
This week's edition had me trying a little harder and going beyond my normal shirt and shorts combo. While I was still running around with the kids I have been perusing fall fashions and decided to make the most of the summer and wear more of my clothes rather than the same old, same old. … [Read more...]
This post is sponsored by Pony Royale. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective, and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own. My girls love ponies. They love things that sparkle and shine. They also like to collect tiny pieces of glittery objects and stick them to things. They could be magpies but they are just your typical little girls and this latest toy, Pony Royale was just the type of toy to really get them excited. … [Read more...]
TMC is starting a new series where we focus on some fantastic beauty bloggers (BB) from all over the country and the world. I know that I tend to get stuck in a blogger rut where I read the same cherished blog friends and faves over and over. I think this is a wonderful way to promote someone you might not know yet but will definitely love! Meet our first BB! … [Read more...]
This week there hasn't been a lot of time to spend at the gym or out running. Let's face it, nothing deters me from an outdoor run more than humidity and we have had plenty of it here. … [Read more...]
