During this past New York Fashion Week 2014, I was invited to Style Coalition's beautiful influencer event at their loft in the Meatpacking District (right around the corner from Mizzfit headquarters). The Influencer Lounge was lavishly set up for Style Coalition's bloggers and vloggers to primp, enjoy a cocktail and rest their sore feet in between fashion shows. I got a gel manicure, had some champagne and made a huge discovery! While getting a makeup touch-up, I was introduced to Burt's Bees new line of lip crayons. Umm, I had no idea Burt's had expanded their product line so much so I was excited to get the scoop and sample it! I must admit, lip crayons were a little foreign to me even though I already owned one (thanks to Michelle Phan's Ipsy Glam Bag). I just didn't know how to use it correctly. So, I let the makeup artist at Style Coalition do her thing (as I meticulously watched her so I could reproduce the effect later)...and now, of course, I'm...

It's hard for me to write this as I'm pretty upset...so bear with me here. I have something I want to get out and I'm going to try my best to use the right words here. About a month ago I was contacted by Popsugar and Under Armour to be a part of the I WILL WHAT I WANT campaign. It's a very empowering campaign about overcoming obstacles to achieve what you want in life no matter what other people have to say. I was honored to receive the invitation to say the least, esp after watching Under Armour's Misty Copeland commercial. Under Armour's request was to make a short video sharing my story to show how I will what I want. And so I did. You can watch it below. Once I sent in the video, I did not hear from them for weeks. Popsugar kept making excuses for Under Armour but it was clear my story wasn't good enough for them. Perhaps it was because I mentioned the D-word (depression) or because I didn't wear their clothes in a sexy way. Perhaps it was because I was a little TOO...

As a Mizzfit.com reader, you already know that the activewear market is booming. And all the competition amongst retailers means that companies have to innovative to thrive.  Translation? Today’s active gear is more stylish and inventive than ever before. These picks represent just how today’s companies are stepping up their games and creating one-of-a-kind items every fit gal will fall in love with. Lululemon’s Patience Tank Lululemon is a brand that many fit fashionistas love. The company is known for its high-quality and ultra-flattering clothing that’s beautiful. So it should come as no surprise that this tank dazzles. I loved how lululemon combined two other styles—the elegant back of the Free To Be bra with the deep V of the Deep Breath tank—to come up with the Patience Tank. The straps hold it in place while you move and the V-cut gives this top an extra sexy touch. The back of the tank is made out of mesh so it breathes well. It’s also...

This is the box I would've given myself in 2007 when I was really lost. Both lost inside myself and career-wise. I'm really excited to share it with my subscribers and newcomers because it's packed with advice and actions that I found during my course of self-discovery and re-invention. Box #MIZ04 is READY TO GO! If you didn't already know, I have a Fitness Fashion Trend Box with Quarterly Co. And I'm pretty stoked right now because Box #MIZ04 is in production after 2 months of designing and perfecting it. For this upcoming box, I wanted to share how I got my big idea to create Mizzfit.com and leave the corporate world behind. I'm sure a lot of you have found yourself in a slump before or maybe you're in one now. Whether it's health/fitness or career related, I understand and want to share what worked for me so we can get you moving in a new, forward direction! The theme of #MIZ04 is Work Out Your Passion. Expect to find not only fitness goodies in...

Seems like every clothing brand is turning to fitness these days. I likeeeey! I knew it would happen. I predicted it 5 years ago when I started Mizzfit.com. As I watch big names bud fitness collections to test their shoppers and see what sticks, it's pretty obvious to me who's got the magic and who doesn't. The "magic" isn't necessarily about the most advanced technology in quick-dry fabrics and high performance yarn. It's about creating pieces with personality that speak to fitness lovers who have a particular style as well as sport specific needs. Active wear with magic makes you wanna move. Capezio is known to many as a dance shop and brand that's been around forever. Need ballet slippers? It's where you go. They've got everything you need for classic and instructional dance. And now they have a studio fitness collection! The magic is in all the shapes, colors and movement. You can see the dancer-style inspiration in each piece. They're pretty and...

Priya Lawrence has 2 full-time jobs. She's a NY state registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a loving mother to Raina, 4, and Trevor, 1. Can you imagine having 2 jobs that require all your attention, passion and love? It seems nearly impossible to me...but Priya does it...and manages to show up on time, twice a week, to the bootcamp class where I met her. She's an outstandingly balanced health professional but says her workout never truly ends. Priya is constantly on the move for clients, and with her kids. I got a few snapshots of her juggling act as I FOLLOWED her on a routine neighborhood walk with Raina and Trevor through Madison Square Park. "I run a growing nutrition private practice, Tried and True Nutrition, Inc. with my business partner, Pam. We focus on empowering our clients to make healthy food and lifestyle choices thru one-on-one sessions, corporate wellness programs and group education." "As anyone with kids knows, my day starts early in the...
