PHOTO TOUR: A fun, active weekend in Wilmington, NC and the beach

August 9, 2021 By Michelle Rogers

In July, I enjoyed a fun weekend getaway to the beautiful historic port city of Wilmington, North Carolina with my daughter, Kerrie. She's a newlywed with a busy career and new home, and I'm always juggling responsibilities as well, so times like these are indeed precious. We decided to take a little road trip to the coast, about a three hour drive from our homes in central NC. The primary goal Continue Reading

PHOTO TOUR: Weekend getaway to Tybee Island and Savannah, Georgia

May 1, 2021 By Michelle Rogers

In late April my husband and I celebrated our anniversary with a long weekend getaway to Tybee Island, Georgia and nearby Savannah. That's about a six hour road trip from our home in central North Carolina. I'll also call it a "walking vacation," because we got in a ton of steps exploring this lovely area. This was my first trip to Tybee Island, and my second to Savannah. I was there previously Continue Reading

Review: DEXA Scan for body fat, muscle and bone testing

June 21, 2019 By Michelle Rogers

Disclosure: I was provided a complimentary DEXA scan in exchange for my honest review. As a fitness professional who works with clients who want to lose weight and increase strength, I often emphasize the importance of body composition rather than relying solely on the scale as a means of measuring progress. The scale just doesn't tell you the whole story. For that reason, we always take Continue Reading

VIDEO: How to pick blueberries

It's blueberry season! Last weekend, I did something I'd been wanting to do for a few years now -- blueberry picking. We have a number of u-pick farms in my area. I chose Minka Farm in Efland, N.C. I had the pleasure of visiting this lovely place on the Piedmont Farm Tour -- see my story here. Since it's my first time picking, I thought I'd contact the farm owner for some tips on what to do Continue Reading
