Fun Friday: Calendar Girl

November 18, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff

It’s not everyday I get asked to be in calendar.  In fact, it’s not every day that I put on make up or take a shower, for that matter.  Most of my days are spent hanging out with my kids wearing hoodies, shorts, and ,when it’s cool outside, Uggs.  Yes, sometimes with shorts. So when […]

Feeding the Monster, Protein Style!

October 1, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff, Musings

I have had mad cravings (along with roller coaster emotions)this past week and a half.   MAD. CRAVINGS.  The Monster of Present Monster Syndrome (PMS) is drooling at the mouth and ready to chew through anything that is not nailed down.  This is not normal.   Usually, once a month I have about 3-5 days where […]

Fluffy Friday: Glamour Girevik Goes Grok

September 10, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff, Musings

What do kettlebell certifications, microwaves, and raccoons all have in common? They make me nervous.  Tomorrow is my second official taekwondo tournament and I’m a bit nervous.  Okay so I’m really nervous. Considering MMA Mama beat me in the last tournament giving me a nasty bruise adding injury to insult 😉 , I think my nervousness is justified. […]

Fluffy Friday: Margo and Myths

July 2, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff, Workouts

Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow, said in her weekly GOOP newsletter that she “had the beginning stages of osteopenia.”  Osteopenia is the thinning of bone mass considered by many doctors to be a precursor to osteoporosis.  (Thank you Google.)  One of the causes is a lack of vitamin D and Dr. Lipman finishes off Gwyneth’s (yes we […]

Fluffy Friday with a Bit of Flashback: Cupcakes

June 11, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff

A Fluffy Flashback. I really can’t think of anything much fluffier than cupcakes. and This post has been patiently waiting amount the other 123 “drafts” in purgatory. A few months ago I took a mini-road trip to visit a cupcake truck even though I don’t eat refined sugar myself. (Don’t worry I asked what they […]

Fluffy Friday : “Reality TV Breeds New Body Ideals”

June 4, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff, Musings

Title is from a headline on CNN. New body ideal? Really? Since when is slender (so they’re not stick thin) with big breasts & full butts “new“? Since the last Maxim cover? (Don’t even get me started on the above headlines.) Admittedly, I’ve never watched the show. I haven’t had tv for over 10 years […]

Fluffy Friday: Kettlebells and Catsuits

May 28, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff

Iron Man brought me breakfast. Speaking of Iron Man I read on Self Magazine’s website that Scarlett Johansson used kettlebells to prepare for that skin tight black catsuit the role of Black Widow. Her on set trainer Bobby Strom was quoted saying, “but what she really loved was the strength training–things like pullups and kettlebells–and the idea […]

Fluffy Friday: Kitten de Confidence

May 20, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff, Musings

I am not with it when it comes to popular culture.  For instance, I still make Paris Hilton references.  I know. So it’s no surprise that I was clueless when I signed up to take a burlesque dance class/workshop.  I love all things vintage and in my mind I was going to a retro inspired Jazzercise […]

Fluffy Friday: Kettlebell Kitchen

April 30, 2010 in Fluff and Stuff, Kettlebells, Musings

This month I set out to complete the 10,000 swing challenge. This meant I “have to get  my swings in” be it the In-N-Out parking lot or rest stops. Never mind if people stared at me as if I was insane or I was embarrassing driving my family nuts. No siree. I won’t quit. The great […]
