The Female Body and Kindness

March 27, 2015 Yvonne Matthews

It seems most days bring a constant struggle between my mind and my body: Do I go to the gym today? How many calories is that? Can I eat that? What IF I eat/drink that? How much do I weigh? Can I wear those pants, will they fit? Remember those resolutions to lose 10 pounds, what happened?

My husband would tell you I don't need to lose any weight, and you would think that would be enough for me to hear. But it's not. I know I can do better. I Should be doing better. Why can't I do better?

Lakers Tonight

November 2, 2012 Yvonne Matthews

We have a very thankful NYC visitor (happy for the storm to be over and happy to get out to the west coast today) in town this weekend and in order to start things off on the right note, we are taking him to a Lakers/Clippers game tonight. In honor of that, I put together a little outfit I thought would be great to wear to a game! Just wish I was wearing it. Hehe!

Happy Weekend!

Spin It Out

October 2, 2012 Yvonne Matthews

There's something magical about sweating. I know it sounds a little gross, but those of you that are athletes or workout-aholics, get it. Sweating just makes you feels, well, lighter, brighter, better.

I also know I am more motivated to sweat when I feel like I look good. And one of the first things that comes to my mind when wanting to look and feel good working out is Lululemon. Now before I continue I have to tell you I am not getting paid for this post, or any other post for that matter. This is a simply for me blog of things I love and want to keep a journal of and share with the occasional onlooker, or family, friend.

Laptop Lovin

April 24, 2012 Yvonne Matthews

So I finally broke down last month and got a new laptop for my new fulltime freelance self. I haven't bought a new computer since 2005. Sheesh! What a treat! Needless to say, when you buy a new laptop you, and by you I mean myself, always forget to buy a case for it. I mean you gotta protect such a piece of art, right? Right.

So, I went to Staples and tried to find one that would fit. Let me tell you, not the easiest task for a 17 inch laptop. I went straight home and I did some due diligence. I thought I would share my findings.

W.A.T.G.

I am a huge fan of Wool and the Gang. I started knitting last year and their snood was my first project (see below). Since then I have been a hug fan and this season they have some great stuff, above being one of my fav (and yes, I don't even like pink all that much, but when it's this gorgeous, rules are made to be broken)!

March Madness

March 13, 2012 Yvonne Matthews

Of course I am a huge fan of Fab.com ... AND March Madness. SO this vintage sale today really knocked me off my chair. Especially when my Alma Matter is in the mix. So here's to No. 3 seed Georgetown. Go Hoyas!
