Friday's Featured Female: Tammy Means@GingerMantra.com

Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!

Friday's Featured Female, #FFF

This weekly series features inspirational stories from admirable women.  IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.

 

Today I have one of the most motivating bloggers around, Tammy (Tambra) Means from GingerMantra.com guest posting. Tammy and I were both at FitBloggin’ 2013 but we never actually met.  I checked out her […]

Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!

Today’s Tunes For Tuesday is the song “See A Little Light” by Bob Mould.  Bob was known as the singer for the group Husker Du and Sugar but to be honest, I didn’t really care for either group but this song has stayed with me since 1989.

The song is timely because I just got word that my So Cal Ragnar Relay total distance to be covered has been reduced.  I haven’t been training as I planned so this is pretty […]

The Top 10 Natural Product Trends From #ExpoWest 2014

I got the chance to be the nutrition Lois Lane (as a member of the press) at Natural Products Expo West (#ExpoWest) this past weekend.  While I didn’t heed the very sage advice of my girl Chris@WhatIRunInto to fully attack the 3,000 exhibitors and 1.6 MM square foot coverage of the Anaheim Convention Center,  I did pick up on a few themes of what I believe the natural products industry will be bringing to market in 2014.
#Expowest, 2014, top 10 trends in natural foods

A Throwback Friday's Featured Female – Loren Brill of Sweet Loren's

Today I’m visiting the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA where every natural, organic, and healthy product on the market is showcasing their wares for the weekend.  I’m looking forward to discovering some new products and making my predictions what we are going to see as trends in the natural product industry in 2014 (my predictions for 2013 are here – SPOILER ALERT: I was absolutely on target with all 3 predicted trends).

Tunes For Tuesday – Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush

Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!

I know that just yesterday I said that I wouldn’t be posting quite as often but there’s no way I’d ever give up the Tunes For Tuesday series.   I had to use a pun too because that’s the mood I’m in right now.

Today’s Tunes For Tuesday is a classic in my book – Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush’s “Don’t Give Up” comes from the album “So” – a perfect album IMHO.  These two voices are […]

Capacity Full

Busy is good, right?  I’ve been busy and it’s been a good busy – I attended a fabulous yoga event hosted by Murad Skin Care and Fitness Magazine last week, was announced as a FitFluential Ambassador (so happy) and I just came home from Bloggy Boot Camp/Women Get Social yesterday.  Being around amazing women and getting a chance to feed your mind, body and soul in new ways is always inspiring to me.  I was ridiculously anxious to recap some of the meaty tid-bits of these […]
