Working out with Therafit
I’m on a fitness kick! Or rather I’m trying to motivate myself to be and had a great boost by Therafit Shoes and Blink Fitness!
Owned by Equinox, Blink Fitness is a newer chain of gyms that has been popping up all over NYC and is only $20/month! (Yes, I said $20/month). Don’t let the price fool you, it’s a really nice, clean gym with top-of-the-line equipment, TVs on cardio machines, comfortable locker rooms and a super friendly staff. And their workout classes are killer! Designed to make you work smarter, not harder to get maximum results, I took a the Bootcamp class at their new Murray Hill location with instructor, Stefanie Jordan and she packed the class with a whole lot of fun exercises that had me sore for 2 days after!
As part of the class I got to test out Therafit ”Renee” sneaker! Developed by Dr. Lisa Matsterson of the Emmy Award winning series, The Doctors, Therafit is a line of footwear she created to Continue Reading…

Birthday bliss…
Posted 10/26/2012 by Lara
Happy birthday to me!!
It’s been an amazing year and while I’ll take every wish I can get, this birthday was so special that I wanted to take a minute and thank every wonderful person in my life for being their for me. This includes all of you out there that read my site, tweets me, likes my posts on Instagram and Facebook… you make my day regularly!
While today is my big day, I’ve been celebrating all week. On Wednesday night I had my annual birthday party at SPiN New York (thank you Franck, Jonathan and Briana!). Having 13,000 sq feet of space so I can actually see and enjoy all my guests (I like to invite the world to my party) coupled with the great combination and ping pong and booze makes this the greatest venue — and why I’ve been hosting it there since 2009.
I don’t play often, but I do play ping pong. So if you think 6 inch heels changed any of that… you’re wrong. It was game on all night!

Tough Mudder Strong! 12 miles, 22 obstacles later…
Posted 10/21/2012 by Lara
I had quite the exciting weekend! Yesterday at 1:15pm I became a Tough Mudder! With a start time at 9:40pm, it took my team 3 hours and 35 minutes to do a 12 mile obstacle course that involved jumping into ice cold water, being electric shocked, running a mile in mud, going through fire… and that’s just the beginning.
{Tough Mudder strong! 12 miles and 22 obstacles courses later we became Tough Mudders!}
Want a taste of what it’s like? Check out this video… I literally did everything–minus the carrying of the logs (which wasn’t an offered obstacle in my race) –plus additional obstacles not featured. (Even the guy speaking in the video was there.)
Designed by the British Special Forces, Tough Mudder tests your all around strength, stamina, metal grit, and camaraderie. With the most innovative courses, Tough Mudder is the premier adventure challenge series in the world and with more than 500,000 participants (+ the 22,000 that ran the same day as me — we broke the biggest 1-day record!), they have managed to raise more than $3.7 million for the Wounded Warrior Project.

EcoSmart Organic Bed Bug Killer Rocks at Repelling Mosquitos!
Posted 10/20/2012 by Lara
Last night the unthinkable happened. I was stung multiple times by a mosquito while I was sleeping. And yes, I get it, mosquito’s love me — a curse that I’ve carried since I came into this world, but seriously, it’s October! That’s the best part about summer being done is mosquito season is over!
In any case I’m no stranger to the multiple offenses one little mosquito can do to my body while I’m sleeping. Usually somewhere around my 4th bite, I wake up — wake my boyfriend up and then turn on the light and wait until I catch it. Well, in my overly tired state I turned that light bulb on and then immediately off (it was too bright), and instead ran to my medicine cabinet for bug spray. Or so I thought, turns out without even realizing it, I had grabbed a bottle of EcoSmart Organic Bed Bug Killer & Repellent, which by the way smells great (it’s made with Peppermint Oil and Rosemary Oil) and proceeded to spray it all over the bed and on my Continue Reading…

Suiting up with Under Armour
Posted 10/07/2012 by Lara
Ready to sweat? I am after spending an afternoon working out with Under Armour and learning about their “What’s Beautiful” campaign. As a member of the GLAM Network, a handful of my fellow Glam bloggers and I were invited to a private luncheon and boot camp class hosted by Under Armour at Exhale Spa in the Gansevort Hotel.
When we arrived at Exhale, Under Armour gifted us their Shatter Tote complete with a workout outfit, sneakers and water bottle.
Suited up (pictured left with my loves, Danielle from The Style and Beauty Doctor and Makeda of Glamazon Diaries), we headed into the studio to gear up for our class and learn more about the brand.
Under Armour presented their “What’s Beautiful” campaign and motto: No Matter What. Sweat. Every Day. What’s Beautiful is a social networking site developed by the brand to encourage women to Continue Reading…
