Okay, everybody knows that “Man’s Best Friend” can help you slim down by offering non-negotiable motivation to walk around your neighborhood. But what if your dog despises leashes like my Morky, Quigley? I’m here to say that toy breeds who buck at the conformity of being harnessed and walking a straight line for more than a few paces, can also help you lose weight. How? Here a couple things Quigs (who is the sweetest dog ever!) does to help keep…
Gyrotonics: The Long and Lean of it (By Guest Blogger, Susie Rahaim)
Hello again! As excited as I am to discuss clean eating and the importance of good food choices, I had to share with you my latest and greatest workout: Gyrotonics! I usually mix up my workouts, incorporating running, spinning, weights, pilates, and yoga to prevent boredom. So when I came across something that combined all these training methods using one piece of equipment—I was game! In the corner of my pilates studio is a large wooden apparatus I never paid…
Platform Purchasing and the Evolution of the Heel
Okay, so who remembers prom in the late ’90s? Our hair was curled into totally unnatural “up-dos;” we wore sashes around our necks to match our dresses (Indian-wedding-like) and strappy, strappy shoes with a thick, tall heel and NO PLATFORM.

I wanted to take a second to give props to the shoe designers who, in the…
Sweet Shower Idea! Basket Raffle

There was, however, one thing missing and damn was I happy about it—THE GAMES. I’m not big on shower games. It’s not that I don’t like to participate, but I like to focus my mental energy on enjoying people’s company and conversation. In…
WILD Beauty Treatments
So we had terrible storms in Memphis this weekend. Flooding, destruction abounded. They even had to evacuate the Memphis prison and move the inmates to an undisclosed location (this to me was scarier than any storm, by the way). If you live in an area that has any wild life, you know that the critters start to get restless right before a storm. They want to take cover, just like you. However, I was petrified when I went to open…
In a Nashville Minute
Hello from Chelsea Gossett. So, I went to Nashville this past Thursday with my friend and workmate, Terrah. She’s a Nashville native so we hit some really cool, local places. We had a meeting with Universal Music Group, checked up on a couple of boutiques and apothecaries that sell Count Me Healthy and then I met up with my best friend, Marisa, who was in town from London visiting her sister at Vanderbilt. I had an amazing time and just…
