by Patty Joy I recently signed up for a workout class that meets at 6am, which admittedly is a bit early for my taste, but I love starting off the morning by moving my body. And well, let’s be honest, it’s done, so I no longer have to worry about squeezing it in for the …
I bought the husband the Nike+ Fuelband for Christmas and two days later had to buy one for myself because it was so cool and he was having so much fun with it. I got the limited edition Fuelband with the rose gold clasp and LOVE IT… but I think it’s sold out now :(. …
I’ve been working with a life coach for a few months now named Joy Stone, and she is phenomenal. I haven’t met her yet in person, but a few times a month we get on the phone for an hour and chat. And as much as I want to talk about what “problems” I’m facing …
by Patty Joy When I registered for our wedding 10 years ago, I apparently “needed” a crock-pot to make my kitchen complete. It sat for years in the box, until one Thanksgiving my mom expressed a need to keep the mashed potatoes warm for her guests. AH-HA! After almost 8 years I finally found a …

A few weeks ago I started speaking with a life coach. It was my alternative to traditional talk therapy, which in the past, has never really benefited me for one reason or another, but mostly because after being asked about feeling important, one psychologist nodded off to dreamland in the middle of my response.

Kale salads have become my favorite light summertime meal to eat. I make one at least once a week for dinner then save the rest in a tupperware and eat it for lunch over the next few days. Every time I post a photo of it on Instagram, I get recipe requests. My favorite way …

Josh and Rafi {the fabulous design duo behind FORM Los Angeles and friends we met in our old neighborhood} are by far the best house guests you could ever be so lucky to have stay with you for a little weekend visit in your home. Now, this is not to say that all of our …
When I was in my early twenties, I had an older girlfriend who suffered from Endometriosis. She often had horrendously painful periods and would go into hiding those times of the month. But since she also had a flair for the dramatic, we all were pretty dismissive of her disease and brushed it off. Ten …
I’ve mentioned before that cooking is not my strong suit. It’s not that I’m a bad cook, per se, I just hate the act of cooking. Okay, “hate” is maybe too strong a word. I’ll put it to you this way; I cook for our dogs twice a week because I have to. The husband …
2010 left me pooped! My goal is to make 2011 a stress-free zone …who’s with me? Life is too short to be unhappy and stressed out right? They say reality is all perception, so let’s do our best to change our perspective whenever reality is less than fun. It’s time to start having some fun …
