From Pure Exhaustion to a Feeling of Momentum… Thanks to Nutritionist Corinne Bush at the Far Hills Pharmacy in Far Hills (actually Bedminster), New Jersey

By: Roxy on 08/2/09 @ 5:08 pm

Over on  my Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blog, I’ve decided to chronicle my latest 90-day-plan to a lifetime of diet and fitness (I’m actually about two weeks in with my 43rd birthday approaching as a milestone in October).  While my most loyal readers can say they’ve heard this song and dance before when I try to [...]

Well, maybe when they’re a couple of years older…
I just received a postcard from the Somerset Hills YMCA about a bunch of cool new winter programs for kids at the Bedminster/Far Hills location.

By: Roxy on 11/26/08 @ 11:58 pm

It’s all I can do to keep up with the bizarre fluctuations in gasoline prices, nevermind what appears to be a national shortage of fluoride. In October 2003, our family left New York City, where there’s flouride in the city water, and moved to the Roxiticus Valley , where we have well water and with [...]
