Managing Covid-19

Managing Covid-19  I'm sure by now we have all read post and watched videos on how different people are managing their feelings and thoughts during this pandemic. I personally take the time to read watch what I can because it is very helpful and interesting to see the different ways we all are managing. I feel as though you can never have enough tips to draw from and try. We are almost two months into the stay at home order and honestly I have a certain level of gratitude and content mixed with irritation and annoyance. Mainly because of the things that are happening in my personal life that are making this whole situation surprisingly bearable. I'll only name one because as a New Yorker (or not)  ya'll wont even need to hear the rest you will simply get it. So in December I moved to my very own apartment! Renting rooms for the past 8 years here and living in almost all of the boroughs has been a roller coaster clocking 7 moves in my first three years. I definitely have...

Femme Diaries: Relationships, Health & Sex

Image
We now have a link for tickets to be purchased the event is officially on Eventbrite under "Femme Diaries"  We really brought this event to life and it started with me having an opinion that I thought would be helpful. On a whim I created I an email address and honestly I think we need to get the other social media handles. Lets just start and see how this first even goes. As you can see the event will be held at Jack Rabbit which was a great choice considering exercise is going to help bring everything full circle and be one of the contributing factors for better relationships, sex and mental well being. There will definitely be some drinks as well as food we can not have a discussion about men and sex without drinks right?! We even have assembled a few guys to come and give us a few gems from a man's perspective. Raffles and giveaways will also be happening. Please join us for a great time. Feel free to follow us all on social media and ask all the questions. @frisky...

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU! THE BLUEPRINT FOR MAKING THE CHANGE

Image
This time of the year as we all know it seems to be when people are putting up the typical “new year new me” or “I’m not taking this drama with me into the new year” and the list goes on. Truth be told people don’t keep these so called New Year resolutions. We seem to think that because of the date change  we can all of sudden become a more on time person, a workout addict, and build a savings account in 3 weeks. I think that we lose sight of a few things in the process of trying to do better. So here are a few feel good reminders and tips to help encourage you along the way. Set realistic goals for yourself. Don’t try to change everything that you feel is wrong or needs repair in your life all at once. Make a list of the top 5 to 10 depending on your list and work on one or two from the list to concentrate on each month. By the time the month is up it would pretty much be a habit then each following month add one to two more from the list. You could get a lot done in a year. ...

Fun Fitness Challenge

Image
Last weekend October 26th, 2013 Curvy Chick Fitness went to Boston to introduce a fitness challenge that the ladies previously signed up for. The Challenge is a 3 month health and fitness and journey where they will be making better choices regarding their health. The winner will receive a trip to New York for two and a photo shoot with a feature in Full Blossom Magazine. I did a Curvy Chick Fitness workout with the girls as well as taught them workouts that they can do in their home. They were able ask questions regarding health and fitness to help them along this journey. I gave them journals that are designed to let them write suggestions, questions, and frustrations down on paper. It's small enough to fit in a purse and to carry around with them. While I was going through my journey it was helpful to have and a tool of reflection to see later on down the road.  Model and Curvy Chick Fitness Brand Ambassador Nicole Marie supplied us with fresh fruit and various healthy dis...
