Since Friday’s tend to be my rest day, I am going to focus on more fashion/health/beauty related topics to end the work week for you all… Although truth be told, I am planning on getting on the elliptical tonite since our family is headed down south this weekend to visit some friends in Richmond.

As I have mentioned before, living a healthy and fit life is not only about exercise and diet. It’s about knowledge, philanthropy, finding your passion and looking your best.  So I hope you will find inspiration in many things that I highlight on here! I love fashion and beauty related information and love it even more  now that I get to indulge in more shopping!  I am continually  inspired by my friends’ sense of fashion, other fashion bloggers, and of course living in general.  Many of my favorite sites out there are listed in my blogroll.

News and Information

Personal Health – Healthy Aging, With Nary a Supplement – NYTimes.com.

Each year millions of people fall prey to false promises that this, that or the other formula or fortified food can protect their hearts, prevent cancer, improve memory, strengthen their bones, uncreak their joints, build their muscles, even enable them to burn extra calories without moving.

The desire to achieve a healthy old age is laudable indeed, and will be even more so in the future. According to a projection of the century-long rise in life expectancy published in The Lancet in October, more than half the children born since 2000 in wealthy countries can expect to celebrate their 100th birthday.

Sales and Good Deals

Sample/Private Sale Sites like Gilt, Rue La La, One Kings Lane, Ideeli and HauteLook. are on the Web and can offer great deals on designer goods.

Shop it to Me: Shop It To Me Apparel, proactively sends you clothing that matches your size and brand preferences as soon as it goes on sale. Shop It To Me Running allows you to find out when your favorite running shoe models and running gear go on sale. I love getting that Friday email that lists all the stores and brands that I love and where I can get the goods at the best deals.
