“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.”

-Henri J.M. Nouwen

Happy Friday!! I am back in New York after a long (almost 2 weeks) break at home in Columbus. Although I had THE BEST time at home, I am happy to be back in the city and to my normal routine like workouts, blogging, events, my friends, etc. My break at home was exactly what I needed– time away from the city. I spent most of it at home with my family. My niece is almost 2 years old and so much fun to be around. I am obsessed with her! My sister jokingly calls me a stalker because I have more pictures of my niece than my sister does. I can’t help it– she is just so dang cute! She has the best personality; always laughing, dancing, “singing”, playing jokes on people. Our favorite thing to do is to scare each other and act like we are monsters. She also likes to jump on me when I am lying down and then I flip her over. Good times— I am available to babysit your kids. Anyway, she reminds me a lot of myself when I was little– full of energy and is bit of a weirdo.

Gifts For Men

Looking for the perfect gift to give your brother, father, significant other or one of your best guy friends this season? Whether they love the outdoors, always dress to the nines, enjoy music or sports, or simply need a wardrobe upgrade, I have gathered a few items that will help shopping for the men in your life that much easier. No matter who I am gifting I always turned to what I know best: fashion. I enjoy buying people clothes. If you are buying for someone who may not be all that interested in clothes, why not gift them wireless speakers or an LED lantern for when they relax outside on the porch. If they enjoy the outdoors a new backpack would be a great addition to their camping gear. A gift I may buy myself is a pair of these bluetooth earmuffs. I like to listen to music while walking around the city but it hurts to wear earphones and earmuffs at the same time. If you are not sure what to gift the men in your life, buy them a new bottle of their favorite cologne. It’s a gift that you know they use and need.

During the holiday season, although joyful and magical, can be hard on some. Those that may not be able to gift their loved ones with presents, buy food to feed themselves, or those trying to better their lives but do not have the right materials and resources to do so. This time of year it is important to lend a hand and give back. Since today is Giving Tuesday I thought I’d share with you ways that I give back; whether it’s donating toys, feeding the homeless on Thanksgiving, or “adopting” a family in need and giving them supplies. I try to do something different each year. This holiday season, however, I am continuing to give back the same way I have been doing all year.
