For the past several years, I have “done” the Yoga with Adriene 30 Day Challenge that she shares every January for free on YouTube. I put “done” in quotation marks, because the 30 day challenge usually takes me until the fall to complete. Basically, I take a lot of breaks in between! This year, I did skip a couple days here and there, but was able to finish it by the first week of February. While I may not have… Read more »
One of the best holidays of the year is here…you guessed it, Galentine’s Day! As Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec described it, “Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lillith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.” This year has not made it easy to hang out with friends. Social… Read more »

After all, she put her number in… Read more »
About a month ago, I decided that I needed a shoes overhaul. It was a dire situation. Each day, I hoped that no one looked too closely at my feet, because my shoes were dingy and there were rips in unsightly places, and unfortunately they weren’t cool rips like ripped jeans. My beloved gold shoes that were bedazzled with jewels had one large one that kept falling off. I would usually find (rescue) it, and engineer it back onto the shoe, but… Read more »
Hello, World! (or at least the 3 people who have mistakenly clicked on my blog page). I have been Emily of Alexandria for almost 8 years. Before that, I grew up in Rhode Island and went to Penn State (WE ARE!). I decided to start this blog for a few different reasons. I’m thirty-one and I feel like it’s a transition stage for me. I recently got married to my handsome and goofy husband, Craig. We’re in that state where we… Read more »
