So I plan to Run a 5K

I actually ran a lot between the ages of 12 and 18. It dominated every weekday afternoon and Saturday from 7th to 11th grade, when it lost out to intensified ballet classes and a part time job that consumed my weekends. Since then, running and I have had a love/hate relationship. She makes my chest and knees hurt and I'm sure I disappoint her with my complaining and labored breathing. But I'm intent on reviving my runners' spirit. I discovered a great workout plan when I went on a google binge looking for some shortcut ( I know, ridiculous), or trick to accellerate my trining. What do you think? Any suggestions on how I can go from past experienced novice to distance runner?

Welcome my Kitty Dumbledore

 

Last night we welcomed our new addition! No, not a human addition but rather one of the furry feline sort. Its a totally new adventure for both I and hubby. I've only ever had dogs and he... well he's never been a dog or cat lover. Wish us luck!

Welcome to Blueprint Luxe

I decided to start this blog over a year ago as a new hobby and for a smogasborg of reasons it's launch was delayed, canceled, and then wonderfully re-initiated! Hooray!

To make my introduction short, I started this blog because I couldn't find a blog or resource that brought together all the aspects of living glamorously and luxuriously, albeit responsibly, realistically and affordably as a young professional. So I've committed my self to doing it.

I see this as an opportunity to improve my writing skills, feed my curiosity, and communicate with all the fabulous people who can identify with the conflict between having expensive taste and the responsibility of well... Grown up life. I will write about everything from beauty product reviews to my fitness quest(s), pet products and books.

I welcome constructive criticism and suggestions and definitely intend to make this blog a fun reources for both myself and any readers. Thanks for reading!
