Saybrook Point Inn Wedding Feature Friday

We know the summer has left us. In fact it seems as though we have skipped fall here in the East Coast. Well here is a look back at summer for Christina and Doug's gorgouse summer wedding on the 4th of July weekend at the Saybrook Point Inn. I had a wonderful time with Christine and her party on this beautiful summer day. We also had the wonderful Ms. Diana of Jubilee Events present to coordinate this wondeful summer affair. Thank you to Derek Fowles for the wonderful images!

Tracee Teaches Yoga Guest Blogger Thursday

A few posts ago I wrote about the question: "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" I'd like to touch upon this again- but in a different vein.

Lately, I've been thinking about nervousness & new experience.  Nervousness is commonly defined as highly excitable or apprehensive. What makes us nervous? Is it even real- or just a learned reaction paired with improper breathing. What does it really mean when you are nervous? Is it possible that it can be good to feel a little nervous? Is it a decision to be nervous?

I think that nervousness may mean that you are on the right path. It's humbling. It's exciting to take risks. If you aren't a little afraid or nervous of your dreams- well, then maybe they aren't really big enough. I know from experience that playing it safe- certainly does remove nervous tendencies from your life- but are you really LIVING? Are you actually going for it?

Next time you feel nervous about something, take breath. Slow down your thinking and re-evaluate. Are you nervous because you care? Are you nervous because maybe you're on the cusp of some major & exciting change?

Maybe we need to re-name nervousness & it's negative connotation-there's plenty of possibility behind that blip of nervousness- It's certainly more fun than feeling numb!

Beauty Tip Tuesday: Pistachios

Go nuts with a hand full of pistachios!
Thats right health professionals have found that this cholesterol-free snack which is also high in fiber and protein can help the waistline and much more. These small green nuts that grow on trees are said to have almost as much potassium as a small banana in a one-ounce serving. Which means when your hungry have some pistachios, they will quickly fill you up.

So while your staying full and not over eating, keeping your cholesterol down, pistachios will also boost your antioxidant levels. A great snack for weight management, helping lower the risk of cardiovasuclar diease by keeping your cholesterol down, and guess what, they taste great!
