We heard about Johnny Pasquale after we had friend recommend him as a challenging, knowledgeable fitness coach. OK totally kidding, we found him on Instagram doing freakish things in the gym. He makes a box jump look like a skip. If you need proof, check out his Instagram. Johnny is the head coach at […]

Want a list of local studios that provide childcare? Read on….
I have mad respect for Cincinnati families working to keep wellness as a priority. My friends with kids would say that behind the scenes is a different story. Mama self-care, especially fitness, always seems to land on the back burner. With an endless amount of workout options, but not NEARLY enough time or energy, what’s […]
Charcoal Pedicures at Mitchell's Salon & Day Spa for the Win
Charcoal is becoming more and more prevalent in the health and wellness industry. We’ve tried charcoal in a number of ways now so we were pretty intrigued when we heard about the new charcoal pedicure offering at Mitchell’s Salon and Day Spa. We headed over a few weeks ago and got some much needed R+R. […]
Responsibly Sourced Dining At Tano Bistro Loveland
As cliche as is it is to say, I absolutely LOVE the city of Loveland. If you aren’t familiar, Loveland is a small community of 13,000 just outside the 275 loop, northeast of Montgomery. Nestled along the Little Miami River, Loveland is known for its 70 mile long bike trail, with connections to well over 100 […]
Eat, Drink, and be Dairy with Dietitian Lisa Andrews
Registered Dietitians often get a bad rap, I know that because I am one! Let’s face it, we love to eat our fruits and veggies, we love science, we get really excited about new kitchen appliances and sneaking vegetables into unexpected recipes, you get the idea. We’re basically the worst. While my friends no longer […]
Reebok Sneakers and Breast Cancer: Pink Ribbon Girls
In 1992 my mom was 34. She worked full-time at an architectural firm, had a sassy kindergartner (hiii) and an infant, lived in a new city a few hours from her hometown of Cleveland, and liked to don Reebok sneakers with her skirt suits for lunchtime walking seshs. Hello, 1990’s style. It was also that […]
True Confessions Of An Orangetheory Newbie
I’m pretty embarrassed to admit that my first time trying Orangetheory Fitness (OTF) was last month. I’m not sure what took me so long to give it a shot. I think in a lot of ways I can be a nonconformist. I’ve always preferred to stray from the pack, and if you know my taste […]
I tried my first Tango Class at Tango Northside
My friends and family all know that my pipe dream is to someday compete on Dancing With the Stars. I don’t really have any interest in becoming famous, so, if I’m plotting my path to the show, my only option is to become a professional dancer. Seems Feasible! For real though, if Chad Johnson could […]
I Gave up Goals for New Years: 'Atomic Habits' Book Review
Tell me I’m not the only one: I’m over the whole “new year resolutions” game. Maybe you wake up on January 1st each year brimming with optimism, but I find myself wrestling with some weird feelings at the start of the year. It’s far too easy to fall into the comparison trap while scrolling […]
The Healing Power of Music
When I’m driving. When I’m working. When I’m cooking. When I’m showering. When I can’t get to sleep. First thing every Friday morning when I wake up….I’m listening to music. Fear of silence? Maybe. More so a strong joy and emotional pang that music gives me, enhancing even the blandest of experiences like shampooing my […]
