Holiday Bliss and Emptiness

December 29, 2015 by savvydiva

Every year, just as the Christmas holiday wraps up, and we prepare to welcome a New Year, I write about the stressful plague of seeking the perfect gifts for my loved ones. No one forces me, but I think the tradition has been imprinted on my soul where I feel its mandatory to follow suite…each […]

Mom…There is No Santa

December 24, 2015 by savvydiva

My son looked me straight in the eyes last week, and boldly blurted out that he knows Santa Claus doesn’t exist. I didn’t know how to react, especially because every year, I complain about the fat, jolly, white bearded man that gets all the credit for flying his pimped out sleigh around the world in […]

A Savvy Reflection

June 1, 2014 by savvydiva

It’s been a while, but I’m back. Unintentionally I took a couple months off of writing and retreated from life and the many cards she dealt me while experiencing a few losses in my family and circle of friends. CANCER and DEATH have become frequent visitors in the lives of many around me. The losses […]

Fitness Detox Again, and Again

December 1, 2013 by savvydiva

Today is the first day of my new 30 Day Detox and Fitness Challenge. I chose December 1st because I knew if I waited until after the holidays, it would be an epic fail. Every year, like a ticking clock gliding around to the 12th hour, I recommit myself to a healthy lifestyle every year […]

Traveling Chronicles: Luggage Junkie

June 7, 2013 by savvydiva

I travel at least once every two months for my “9-5” gig, and would normally fancy myself as being a pretty good luggage packer, especially if I’m traveling for less than three days. However, I recently returned from a week-long business trip and was faced with the grueling fact that I no longer possess the […]

A Savvy Mishap – Reusable Ice Gone Bad

May 15, 2013 by savvydiva

I’ve been juicing for 24 consecutive days, religiously, so you’ll understand why I questioned my religion when I thought I had accidentally poisoned myself. The morning was as normal as any other morning, except, I overslept an hour as opposed to my usual 20 minute delay. Once the kid was dressed and fed along with […]

Fitness Infomercial Overload

May 2, 2013 by savvydiva

It was only five months ago when everyone preached and promised New Year revelations, and professed their new outlook on life and beyond. Fitness gyms, personal trainers, and weight loss programs were promoting the latest and greatest answer to New Year success. I began to notice the influx of infomercials on rotating schedules of convenience […]

Meal Plan In a Can

April 10, 2013 by savvydiva

Since the rise of the New Year, I’ve jumped on the self-awareness train to rid my body of its current astronomical BMI by decreasing the amount of food I salivate over. Of course, many who really know the real me, know that the decision comes with much turmoil and broken promises as I battle up […]

The Bucket List…To Do

October 24, 2012 by savvydiva

My daily life consists of jotting down several tasks to complete throughout the day, week and month — or whenever I get a jolt of energy to complete at least one item on the ten notebooks surrounding me. Every day, my goal is to scratch off at least five items off of my growing lists, […]

GUIL-TEETH

October 23, 2012 by savvydiva

A friendly alert blazed through my phone which was buried in my purse, setting off reminder tones of an upcoming appointment I scheduled three months ago. It always amazes me how fast time flies, especially when you’re having a blast eating foods and drinking beverages that have been placed on the “do not eat” list […]
