Chic is where you find it!
- Bonnie Cashin

"I love fashion, I love everything about it"  When I get up in the morning I can decide "who" I want to be that day:  cute, high fashion Parisian woman, grungy, chic, English gardener in my wellies.  It always changes and always depends on my mood. 

I also love fitness! Everything I do, really starts with exercise.  In order for me to be healthy, happy, care for my three sons, be a wife, creative person and all the other endless things I have to do in the course of the day, sometimes not stopping for 20 hours straight!!  I need my hour of excersise every morning and when I take this time, often the only time I have for myself, I feel like I can rule the world. 

To us Wellness is living beautifully starting on the inside first. Each month we will add special little quotes and sayings that inspire us, helpful healthy tips and anything we feel will help us all achieve “Wellness” in our lives.
