Looking for a healthy way to improve your body for the days ahead with the ability to track the progress you're making? Gruve Solution incorporates ten years of Mayo Clinic research based on nutrition, activity and behavior in its extraordinary pedometer. More innovative than your typical device, Gruve's small and organic shape is sure to get you on your way to improving your healthy lifestyle.

Reenergize Your Mind

Tea is known for its natural healing and soul soothing abilities. What better time to partake in this all-natural indulgence? Talbott Tea can help rejuvenate your mind and spirit, offering a vast selection of "the classics" (Earl Grey Enchantment and Green Tea Heaven), along with unique selections (Orange Crème Dreams and Blueberry Peach Passion). Teas can be served hot or iced.


Spanish Tapas

Hobbies are a part of life that are too often placed on the backburner. If you enjoy cooking and would love to learn how to make Spanish tapas, sign up for an evening class at a local culinary institute. If painting or decorating is more in line with your passions, enroll in a Saturday class at a local community college. Taking a few hours out of your hectic schedule once a week to enjoy something you love can enrich the months ahead.

Refresh Your Home

Are white walls or archaic colors affecting your home's vivacity? A fresh coat of paint might be just what your home needs to help color your days with serenity and inspiration.

This year a spectrum of colors, including yellows, greens and blues, are in vogue and will be appearing in luxury homes around the world. Envision greens with a touch of yellow (think avocado) and blues with touch of green (think blue and green gemstone shades). Acclaimed design leader Christopher Peacock has created the perfect paint collection - embracing rich colors, immaculate quality and various finishes.

San Francisco based interior designer, Jean Larette, who created the modern and stylish line of rugs - The City Collection - explains how a bold addition can transform a room, "Incorporating an anchor piece such as a rug can change the entire look and feel of a room. Though it may seem like a simple piece, you can build a color palette and fabric choices around it. Choosing a beautiful, unique rug is the perfect place to start in giving your home a fresh and updated look."

Yet another easy way to spruce up your home is to indulge the sense of smell. Jo Malone's Grapefruit Candle radiates lively notes of grapefruit, tangerine, jasmine and rosemary. The zesty and invigorating scent is guaranteed to awaken the senses and add an extra fresh and elegant scent to your residence.

These are just a few simple ideas to help inspire you to find your personal tranquility. Stress and uncertainty do take their toll, but even in the current climate there are ways to affordably stimulate your mind, body and home without sacrificing luxury.
