Finding Success on Instagram

It’s almost the two year anniversary of the inception of Gwyneth Made Me Do It, and it’s strange to think I started the account on a silly whim, never thinking it would grow to what it has become. Sure, at close to 14,000 followers, I’m nowhere near the chart topping success of many other accounts which […]

Finding My Signature Scent

I think it’s safe to say that most of us, when walking through a department store, do everything in our power to avoid the fragrance lady standing at the entrance to the cosmetic department, or strategically placed at the bottom of the escalator. If we do happen to make eye contact (big mistake), we either politely […]

1 Year’s Past, and Finding My Way

Two weeks ago, in the midst of the 30 day challenge, I officially celebrated my anniversary of rethinking the way my family and I eat. The day passed without much fanfare, and truth be told it wasn’t really even noticed, because this change has sort of just evolved into a natural way of doing things […]

My Latest Thrive Market Order

I just received my latest Thrive Market order, and I figured I’d go through my purchases because I got several new things this time around, with a special emphasis on after-school and lunchbox snacks. If you’re not familiar with Thrive Market, it’s an online market which focuses solely on health-conscious, natural and sustainable food items, […]

Thrive Market, CSA’s & Grocery Budgets

The amount of spending we do during the month of April, between taxes and birthdays and anniversaries, I always feel the need to tighten the belt and reign in the budget. First place I felt we could save some money this year, was with our groceries. I don’t feel like I’m typically frivolous with my […]

Working With An Integrative Doctor & My Treatment Protocol

About three weeks ago, I felt the best I had felt in a long time, finding myself with enough energy to make it to workout class or yoga six times that week. I had been on a gradual upswing of energy during the day for a few months, and I was hopeful that this latest […]

How I Find Time To Cook

That old familiar saying about only 2 certainties in life being death and taxes, should be amended to include 3 certainties – death, taxes, and cooking, because we all must eat. And unless you plan to eat take-out for the remainder of your life, someone’s gotta do it, so why not try to at least […]

What I Think About My Fitbit Surge

For Christmas, Art got me the Fitbit Charge. At $129, it was a step up from the basic model, and probably would have suited my needs just fine. I was so excited for this unexpected gift that I ran to the computer on Christmas morning, eager to get it all set up, only to find […]

Week In Review – Looking Forward to Spring

Earlier this month I had intention of writing a post on the 10 best pieces I added to my wardrobe in 2014. Pieces that I found myself going back to time and time again, therefore making their cost per wear an excellent return on my investment. I try to reflect on lots of things I […]
