One of my favorite things since moving to Asheville has been discovering all the different ways to shake, groove, workout and SWEAT that this little city offers. “How do you Sweat” is a series of articles to ask a handful of locals what floats their boats when it comes to being physically active. In other…
Where did my body go?! When I was 16, I had a rock-hard six-pack; now I’m almost thirty and I definitely do not. Growing up has many ways of humbling us. For example, when the same set of stairs you have been absent-mindedly completing your whole life suddenly takes the wind out of you. If…

For anyone following us on social media, it should be pretty obvious that we have a problem. Well, YOU might consider it a problem; our addiction to coffee and tea. This being said, you can find us snuggled into some little coffee shop or another at least a few times a week. It was on…
Did you know that dieting doesn’t work? GASP! It’s okay, you just had a bomb dropped on you; please take a moment to recover. You see, the problem is in the mentality. If your New Year Resolution included anything similar to “lose weight”, “get fit”, or even “slim down enough to fit into that gorgeous…
