No More Night Shifts: What I Learned

The big launch I had at work this week went incredibly smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier. Not only is it a huge professional success, but the lack of major problems meant that instead of having to pull night shifts for three weeks (and we all saw how crazy I was with the lack of sleep I got on night shifts), I’m done with night shifts and get to work a normal schedule from here on out. Yippee! I’m still working on getting back to a normal sleeping schedule, but there were a few things from a health and wellness perspective that …

Are “Fitness Cults” a Bad Thing?

Today I went to a Fly90 class (that’s a fancy way of saying a 90 minute spin class), and honestly wasn’t having a great ride. The instructors were amazing – Ryan Makely is my absolute favorite New York instructor, and he was joined by Danielle Devine (who’s also very popular, though I had never taken her before) and three instructors from the London branch of Flywheel. Cool! But I was just exhausted, and could tell right from the first song that it wasn’t going to be a strong ride for me. The energy of the room was amazing, but nothing …

Decorating Myself and Three Trees – Happy Holidays!

Laura and Daria

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the last few weeks have been exhausting – and it is so nice that tonight I had no plans and am able to stay home in my own little bed and catch up on things! (Okay, so maybe I did have plans and canceled them… sometimes I need a break.) But don’t feel too sorry for me – while I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately, it’s been for a lot of wonderful reasons. The first weekend I stayed in Dallas, it was to attend my company’s Dallas office holiday party. The attire is …

New Travel Hotspot: Centurion Lounge at DFW

Centurion DFW Lounge

Today I’m finally traveling home to NYC after nearly a month in Dallas, and oh my goodness, this has been a crazy last few weeks. I thought that staying in Dallas for the month of December was going to be relaxing and give me a chance to catch up on everything, but as you can probably tell by my dearth of posting (pretty much just Links I Love and some reviews for products that had deadlines), I have barely had a minute to breathe. Fortunately, I’m working one more day (tomorrow) and then am on a holiday shutdown for two …

Get More Energy by Giving More Energy

How has it been for me giving up caffeine this month? Not so good. I chose this goal in large part because I was hoping it would encourage me to sleep more, but I’ve recently found that even when I arrange a free morning where I can sleep as late as I want, the most I can get myself to sleep is 7.5 hours. I determined a few years ago on a solo vacation that 8 hours a night is the perfect amount of sleep for me (although of course maybe that’s changed now)… but I just have not quite …
