Did you know heart disease is the leading cause of death among women globally? That's why I take care of my body & heart by working out, staying hydrated, moving during the day and taking my Nature Made® Omega-3 supplements! Omega-3 fatty acids can be beneficial in supporting a heart healthy lifestyle.† That’s why the NEW Nature Made® Omega-3 Full Strength Mini, 500mg EPA+DHA, Burpless supplements are my #VOTD (vitamins of the day). 

It’s a good look for all of us to make healthy choices when it comes to our nutrition and long-term health, especially if that means avoiding heart disease. Over the last few years I’ve participated in many events with all kinds of organizations supporting women’s heart health. It deserves our attention, because heart disease often goes unnoticed and untreated until it’s too...

Tell me if you can relate? You go to the eye doctor. You browse their eyewear. You fall in love with a pair of frames that look amazing on you. You ask for the price. BOOM! It's $350! And the excuse for the price is always the same thing: "Well, they're DESIGNER." Honestly, most of the time, I've never even heard of the designer that makes the glasses. The brand name means nothing to me.

Maybe it's because I don't wear my glasses 24/7 as I'm mostly in contacts. I'm a part time eyeglasses wearer but I still value the look and feel of prescription eyewear on my face. I just don't believe in paying a crazy amount of money for 1 pair of glasses that I might get bored of within a few months. If you can relate, then you're going to appreciate my discovery.

Firmoo is an online optical store that I was lucky enough to find a the right time when I was in need of new glasses. Their deals are INCREDIBLE! I decided to test them out by uploading my prescription and browsing their frames...

I'm really not much for camping but when I got invited to Pursuit Series at Hunter Mountain New York, my penchant for a new outdoor experience drove me to say HELL YES! Plus, it isn't quite "camping" when you're staying in an UnderCanvas tipi tent. Mine had 2 beds, a night table, chair and a pretty cool rug that I would totally put in my own apartment.

Pursuit Series isn't your ordinary camping excursion.  It's literally an outdoor adventure camp for grown-ups who like to be active, social, in nature and then have fun at night with drinks and music. I literally had an epic weekend in one of the most beautiful and scenic parts of New York. The only downside for me was bugs (like I said, I'm not a "camper") and the fact that it was a super hot weekend. But I loved every second of it!

This was Pursuit Series' 3rd event and I found it to be exceptionally well organized. I arrived a day and a half late only because I literally drove up to Hunter Mountain from JFK...

My running story is complex mostly because I started running because I hated it so much.  It seemed like such an easy exercise for most people and I never understood why it was so difficult for me.  I was determined to become a runner and by the time I was out of college, I had become one.

I ran and ran and ran until one day I decided I was fit enough to run a marathon. I consulted my uncle who was the only other runner in my family. He gave me lots of advice and we began to train together here and there. We both lived in New York City so we’d jog down the West Side Highway Hudson River Run Path. It wasn’t nearly what it is today, but it was still a beautiful pathway and I’ll never forget those training runs.

SOMETHING’S DIFFERENT!
Have you noticed? I’ve been covering more non-invasive treatments lately. Not only is it trending but people clearly prefer a more subtle way of touching up their problem areas. I agree! You get to skip the excruciating pain, downtime, excessive treatment costs and prescriptions. Plus, it’s a lot less stressful when nothing gets punctured or cut open, right?

I’m pretty adventurous and inquisitive when it comes to body transformation procedures (as I’ve candidly dabbled in a few), but I’m also incredibly squeamish so I’ve really been enjoying this wave of non-invasive beauty. 

LET’S TALK MUSCLE & FAT!
EMSCULPT is the latest non-invasive treatment I tried, which consisted of 4 visits to Juva Skin & Laser Center in New York City (where most of the clinical studies for EMSCULPT actually occurred).  I read up extensively on the clinically proven treatment, which is part of...

It's happening again! Propel Co: Labs Fitness Festival is coming to New York City in full force, led by Nicole Winhoffer and a handful of talented artists who will surely blur the lines between fitness and music.

What is Propel Co: Labs Fitness Festival? It's a fitness event traveling through several major US cities that combines fitness, music and culture. Fitness trainer and innovator, Nicole Winhoffer, has been part of the event for 3 years. Formerly fitness inspiration to Madonna, Nicole teacher her NW Method in the form of a static dance class. Just look at these pictures!

It's as if a concert and a workout are happening simultaneously. Could you ask for more stimulation? I'm truly excited to join Propel for this event as it will be my first time at their festival. To celebrate, I'm giving away a pair of tickets to 1 lucky Mizzfit reader or social media follower. Keep reading for details!

What to expect... At this year's Co: Labs, in addition to NW...
