Lately I’ve been taking “Barre Strength” and “Air Ballet” classes at Flex & Fit in Uptown Charlotte taught by dancer, Elizabeth Sturgis. Her classes are fast paced and electric, a delightful mix between ballet, pilates & aerial yoga that she and the other instructors at Flex & Fit Studios have perfected. Now, Elizabeth’s classes are PACKED! So full, that she often needs to bring out a make-shift ballet barre because there is no room to move. I think this can…
What does Lauren Conrad count using her CMH bracelets?
Lauren Conrad is one of those talented, rare women who has created a brand empire instead of resting on her initial fame like so many girls seem to do. She has written numerous books, established successful clothing and accessory lines in major department stores, has a website with super engaging content (I liken it to GP’s GOOP–which I adore) and is serious about staying fit. Recently, we partnered with her and her team to do a giveaway for some of…
Healthy & Festive 4th of July Appetizers & Sides
I love that the 4th is falling on a Wednesday this year! Everyone mentally checked out last Friday, so this entire week feels like one continuous run off from last weekend. My boyfriend, his two sons and I are going to a bbq at one of his coworkers followed by fireworks at the National White Water Center in North Carolina. I’m debating what appetizer or side to bring, so I wanted to share the narrowed down options with you. I…
Some of our Sweetest Spa locations (and the treatments I’d like to try).
We love our spa retailers. The CMH bracelets are a unique addition to their retail space and offer customers the first jewelry designed to help with their wellness goals.

Here are just a few of our…
Jewelry designer, Meredith Haws (finding inspiration through destination)
A cool thing about being part of the jewelry industry is meeting really talented designers. One of them is Meredith Haws, whose handmade necklaces are one of-a-kind statement pieces that transform your look. We met a while back and both of our brands are sold at The Met in Sarasota. I thought I’d let her tell you a little bit more about her designs and what inspires her. Meredith Haws – My jewelry designs are made from semi precious stones,…
Sexy Hostess and The Cocktail Hour
I’m writing this as I’m visiting my Aunt Pamela in Alexandria, Virginia, for a weekend of shopping, dinner with my great friend, Tracey, and viewing of the off-broadway hit, Xanadu (a remake of the 80’s cult classic starring Olivia Newton John). Whenever I come here, I make a point of hitting “The Hour Shop” in Old Town Alexandria, which is devoted solely to the art of the cocktail hour. The store is two-levels of vintage and new cocktail glasses, shakers,…
