Best & Worst

I want to look like her... now


To DIE for


Whaa...? Not the right dress for this classy woman


Umm, hair, dress, no. Cheap!

Motivate

I want my ass to look like that of a Brazilian supermodel.....

SO I couldn't ignore my second snooze alarm at 6:15am this morning. I thought about sleeping in, but realized if I want my body to change I have to get up! I literally ran to reserve a bike in spin class. Scorpio motivated me to try spin class again, so this morning I found myself half awake and fumbling to adjust a stationary bike. I think it has been over a year since my first spin class and I could feel it! At first, I thought I was being tortured with "hills" and "jumps". Then I thought of my goal, an amazing ass, and I regained my focus and began to push myself. I have a new appreciation for spin because it forces you to reach deep within and challenge yourself physically and mentally.

This concept made me think back to all of the goals I have accomplished, simply from putting myself out there and not saying "I can't". I have been featured on a TV show with a celebrity, featured in a fashion magazine, walked a runway, published as a photographer, a public forum poet, world traveler, and I have lived in my goal cities (Los Angeles, New York). It doesn't have to be something major. I also feel inspired when I make it through 3 miles on the treadmill at 7.0 vs 6.0. You have to think back to the book The Little Engine That Could when we first heard "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can".

I have learned there is really nothing that you can't do in life, as long as you think you can. I am not trying to sound like The Secret! I just want to give our readers some motivation. There are so many things that can bring us down or make us feel stuck in a routine. I can remember reading a common saying that there are roadblocks in life to see who is determined enough to push through them.

Scorpio and I were talking about our anticipated life shifts this year that we have worked very hard for. I am sure we all know people who sit and complain about everything, but never motivate themselves to change. So this spring/summer, I challenge our readers to think about something you want and go for it!!

Oh, The Places You'll Go...

Last night, Aries and I met our Absolut friend and her friends for dinner at the just opened Mondrian SoHo. I went to their opening bash a few weeks ago, so it was nice to check it out again sans raging crowd. It's a bit Dr. Seuss meets Alice In Wonderland, but I liked the whimsy.


And of course, the food was to DIE. We had a little shrimp cocktail, cauliflower fritters, and the most beautiful seared scallops. Perfect end to a perfect day.

A Very Good Day

May Day

Running along the water in Cape May this morning was so restorative. I ran for an hour along the quiet sand, zigging behind early morning fishermen and zagging up craggly cliffs. It was so peaceful, I ended up staying by the ocean, stretching and crunch-ing for another half hour.

When my rumbling tummy started to grumble, Jason and I rewarded ourselves with light, fluffly crab & lobster and veggie frittatas and the freshest squeezed OJ.

Perfect.
