    Q1 in Review: An Update on My 19 for 2019

    April 10, 2019 / No Comments

    As I was saying last week, spring has definitely sprung! And although I am looking forward to brighter and better days, I always like to take the time to check in at the start of a new week/month/quarter/year etc. to review what I've been up to and plan what to do next. At the start of this year, I decided to create a "19 for 2019" list- 19 resolutions for the new year, including a few one time events, the development of a few new

    February 1, 2019 / No Comments

    For as long as I can remember, I have been a goal oriented person. I think I have always enjoyed the process of outlining objectives and throughout my academic and professional endeavors have learned many of the "right" ways to set goals. I've spent a lot of time contemplating SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time Bound) and validating that that I have an actual aim rather than a loose dream, wish or hope. But recently, I've been challenged to reconsider the way that I think about goal setting as I learn

    Celebrating 5 Years of Barre and My 5 Tips for Creating a Healthy and Long Lasting Relationship with Exercise

    January 17, 2019 / No Comments

    This Sunday marks an important milestone (and also my mother's birthday which I am excited to be able to celebrate with her in person for the first time in a LONG time!) - it's my five year anniversary of barre!!! It is no exaggeration to say that barre has changed my life - it has become an important part of my identity and was the impetus for so many of the other healthy habits I have formed, things I have accomplished, and invaluable relationships that I have formed throughout the years. Since this time last year, my lifetime barre stats have increased to a total of 2,479 hours of taking…

    Farewell to Flex! A Love Letter to My Barre Tribe

    December 11, 2018 / 1 Comment

    I have to say, this is a TOUGH one to write. Things are well past getting real around here. Our homehas been empty for over a week, everything shipped off to the US of A, we've said many final farewells and have only two and half more days in Cork at this stage. The entire experience of living abroad has been nothing short of amazing and I will definitely miss the ability to travel around Europe for the quick weekend city breaks, my weekly trips to check out what's new at Sostrene Grene's, and the Sweet Potato Toast at Spitjack's, but I have to say there is no question about…

    There is Still Plenty of Time to Finish 2018 Strong!

    November 6, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Although there is probably not a word strong enough to express just how much I loathe the colder weather and precipitation that accompanies it, I have to admit that I do enjoy this time of year.  I'm a "finisher;" someone who gets a bigger kick out of squeezing the VERY LAST drop of toothpaste out of the tube as opposed to feeling satisfaction in starting a new one.  I like to reach a point of completion on a personal or work project whether that is in total or just my small part of the big picture.  This is in contrast to an "opener" who really gets enthusiastic about starting new…

    Barre Better: Breaking Up with Bad Habits at the Barre

    October 24, 2018 / No Comments

    So lately in an effort to fix some of the ongoing issues and imbalances that I have within my own body, I've been calling on some extra expert advice by taking 1:1 Pilates sessions with Ireland's Master Teacher Trainer up in Dublin.  I have to say that something that continues to amaze me is how often (in virtually every aspect of life) there is such a leap between good and outstanding. And when it comes to an eye for detail and understanding of body mechanics, she is outstanding.  However, although her insight is invaluable and there have been several things which I hadn't considered previously, I am particularly struck by the…

    The Wisdom Of Joseph Pilates – An OG of Positive Psychology

    October 10, 2018 / No Comments

    I had the opportunity to spend all of last weekend in London in an anatomy course specifically designed for Pilates instructors. Since I love Pilates and I love learning - it's safe to say that it was time well spent! The incredibly intricate and masterful design of the human body is beyond spectacular, so although my brain was completely overloaded after the two full day sessions, I would have been happy spending at least another two weeks immersed in it all! There's so much to learn about the structure, composition, mechanisms and the list goes on, that I left feeling in awe and compelled to find some more space in…

    10 Minute Barre Arms Workout

    September 27, 2018 / No Comments

    Before barre, I honestly never thought too much about arms.  Mine or anyone else's.  Although I did the typical (but unhealthy) "Mean Girls" dissection of my body and its flaws, my arms were towards the end of the list of concerns, but not necessarily a point of pride either.  I just didn't pay much attention.  But when I started barre, I did notice that many of my classmates had incredibly sculpted and toned limbs and I remember after only about a month of consistent classes receiving many compliments on my recent acquisition of said arms.  The transformation in my body in such a short amount of time AND the fact…

    As renowned sports-medicine physician Dr. Jordan D.

It's the most powerful, readily available drug in the world. …

    How to Stay Active While Traveling

    September 11, 2018 / No Comments

    Like most people, I often find that I feel almost equally passionate about two different, conflicting, and incompatible things.  I love the thrill of shopping, but I also love the satisfaction of saving or paying off a debt.  I love being around friends and family and on-the-go, but I also love time alone or with my puppies just reading or writing at home.  And I love travel, adventures and sightseeing, but I also really love my usual routine and habits.  Over the past 40 days, I have spent 25 of them traveling and away from home so I am now very eager to get back to "normal life." I would love…

About Me

Hi!  I’m Miranda and I am beyond excited to have a platform to share my passion for cooking real (but still delicious) foods, enthusiasm for all things barre, and thoughts and ideas on a building a more healthy, holistic, and happy lifestyle. I am a Christian, a wife, a puppy mom, a nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP) in training, and a barre and Pilates instructor who recently became a homeowner back home after living as an expat in Ireland for a few years.  Aside from getting sweaty working out and experimenting in the kitchen, I love to read, write, learn, travel, and spend time with friends and family.
