Relaxing and Exploring
Day 3 I think it’s important to build in days of relaxation in between your days of adventures when going on vacation. This was a new concept to my husband, Patric who wants to jam-pack as much as possible when we go to new places.

Our Travel to Mexico
At the end of January, my husband and I flew to Merida, Mexico. Merida is on the Yucatan Peninsula and is just over 3 hours northwest of Cancun.

Self Care when Life is Busy
This week is going to be a hectic one for me. I have negotiations in three different places which started yesterday. I also have a couple of days with negotiations starting early (think 8ish) and other meetings in the late afternoon/early evening. Thankful to Marley Spoon as I won’t have to think about what to fix for dinner in the…

Be Fabulous
Somehow I stumbled upon this app called Fabulous (here’s a link to try for free – I think it’s first come, first serve. What I love about this app is that it’s all about building up healthy habits based on what you want to achieve. It’s not focused on dieting or making you feel bad about yourself. When I first…
