And just like that, three weeks have gone by! I started the Listerine 21-Day Challenge with a pretty good plan for getting into the mouthwash-using habit: I just kept the bottle on the bathroom counter so I wouldn’t miss it. That’s it! I figured a simple “product placement” would scare away my lifetime of laziness as it related to mouthwash. As it turns out, simple works! (Note to self: Melisa, you don’t always have to do things the hard way!) I have faithfully rinsed with Listerine twice a day for thirty seconds each time, and I’m pretty proud of myself. Being someone who is very sensitive about oral health because…

Dailey Method Interval Class: Icing On The Cake!
I guess “icing on the cake” is probably not the best choice of words in the case of a fitness-focused post, but that’s how it feels and it’s my blog so we’re going with it. You all already know how I loudly exclaim on a regular basis (on Facebook, on the phone, on Twitter, in person, and even to total strangers) how much The Dailey Method has changed my life. I have written about TDM workouts so many times that I finally created a landing page for all of the posts (See the link at the very top of this page?) for any of you who might be curious. After…

Girls’ Night Out: Go Red For Women!
It’s that time of year again! For the third year in a row, I will be joining a bunch of my girlfriends, B96, 104.3 K-HITS and Bath & Body Works at the gorgeous Alhambra Palace (1240 West Randolph Street, Chicago) for “Girls’ Night Out: Go Red For Women”, an event that celebrates the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement. The event is on Thursday, February 28 from 7:00-10:00 p.m., and I know it’s going to be a great time. Last year was pretty awesome. The only problem I’m currently having will sound familiar to you: wardrobe. I drove myself absolutely insane in 2011, trying to find the perfect…

The Listerine 21 Day Challenge: More Smiles Across America
I happen to think that taking care of one’s teeth is very, very important. Not only do I have a storied dental history that includes lots of drama and adventure (I wrote about it here), but these days I get my teeth checked and cleaned every three months, alternating between my dentist and my periodontist. I love brushing my teeth and I do floss (thanks for asking). One thing I’ve never gotten into the habit of using is mouthwash, for no reason other than laziness, really. That’s why, when The Motherhood asked me if I wanted to take part in the Listerine 21-Day Challenge AND also “by the way, did…
