I'm seeing a lot of gray right now. Like black, gray is usually a somewhat formal color. Dark charcoal gray carries with it some of the strength and mystery of black and light grays can be similar to white. While I don't love the gray uniform of the corporate world, I like these pretty, easy gray pieces.

Check out Unpackaged in London. Unpackaged is a boutique grocery shop that works like the bulk food section of Whole Foods, relying on the customer to bring in your own packaging as a way to eliminate waste. They sell everything under the sun-even wine! With strict eco-policies on where their source their food, Unpackaged is one of the most environmentally friendly stores that I've ever seen on the international green scene.
Hey Lithe Team,
I am sooooo excited! I have already lost 7lbs and in addition to that I feel GREAT! I'm starting to "get it".
I have seen the biggest difference in my body after 1 week of "10" than I have in the past 2 years. I know its early in the program but I just wanted to say that I think this is going to be a great experience and I feel I will get a lot out of it. I
have been trying for over 2 years after having my daughter to get back
in shape but despite all my efforts I saw little or no improvement.
Thank you! JP
Lauren,
i just had to write you a quick note to tell you how amazing the "10" has been for me. I had been, as you know, out of Lithe for a while, and knew that this was exactly the class I needed to get going in the new year and get motivated. It has been incredible. I still have 4 classes to go, and my body is already completely different. It's SHOCKING. I get undressed and look down at my legs, and I don't recognize myself. My pants are already so much looser, and my belly isn't pooching through my tops as it used to-a fact that made me change clothes five times every morning.
The combination of the meal plan and the workout has truly been a success. Like you said, once I started eating the way you prescribed, I just got it. Now, I'm making great decisions, even on the weekend. The impact on my waistline, and my bank account has been significant. I used to be obsessed with eating out, and now all I want to do is cook great food at home.
I can't believe I'm seeing results like this, and I'm essentially only halfway through the series. I'm feeling stronger and have more endurance already, so I can't wait to see what I look/feel like when it's over. I will definitely not stay away from Lithe for so long again. Thanks for helping start my new year off right! xoxo, SH

Ugh, I love clogs so much. They're comfortable and they give you that little lift. Lithe Instructor, Nicole Sewall turned me on to these No 6 clogs from Creatures of Comfort in Los Angeles. We both cannot decide which pair we want most!
It’s that time of the year again…to live and Lithe under the sweet Jamaican sun!
Our
last Lithe Escape was a time for restoration and rejuvenation, and also
a time to slim down and tighten up. The results from our last Escape were
unprecedented—both in how everyone felt, and how everyone looked! Come
join us to renew and refresh in time for summer!
This time we are
escaping for five nights so more people can fit an Escape into their
schedule and their budget. During May 4th-9th, 2010, our Lithe Escape takes us to yet another breathtaking, historic Jamaican villa. Please join us this spring at the Hammerstein Highland House, set dramatically high in the hills over Montego Bay.
The Highland House is an incredibly unique and luxurious property designed in a way that combines both traditional colonial style and striking modern amenities. Originally owned by renowned composer Oscar Hammerstein, the Highland House is one of the most incredible villas on the Island. Think Blue Mountain coffee every morning delivered to your room; fabulous island-inspired organic and detoxifying cuisine; a mid-week fresh tropical juice cleanse; and of course two Lithe classes a day--one on land, and one in the expansive pool. Not to mention the beach, spa, local culture, and …peace and quiet.!
To top it off, Highland House has its own organic garden which is maintained by our very own Liz Solms. You will be able to tour the garden, and even pick the veggies you’ll eat at dinner! In fact, twenty percent of your stay will be donated to the local school nutrition program and school garden sponsored by Highland House.
To keep our Escape as intimate and hands-on as last time, we are limiting the Escape to nine people. The first four people will receive a rate of $2300/person. Accommodations are shared unless a solo room is specified and comes at an extra charge. Accommodations will be given out on a first come, first serve basis, though we assure you each and every room is like paradise. The last five people will receive a rate of $2500/person. So book early!
Lithe Instructor, Krista DeNofa text me from the new Whole Foods out in Plymouth Meeting with this image of her holding an emu egg. For those of you who live out in the Chestnut Hill area, Krista says that this new, Plymouth Meeting Whole Foods is by far the best in the area-Complete with an egg bar!
At the egg bar, you can choose from many different locally grown eggs from hen, goose and quail eggs to Ostrich and giant blue-green emu eggs. Wanna make a giant omelet next Sunday? Grab an emu egg, a drill and six of your friends! Here are some interesting facts about Emu's and their beautiful eggs:
-Emu's are native to Australia and are the 2nd largest bird (behind the Ostrich)
-Emu's are flightless
-An Emu egg has the protein, fat, and volume equivalent of 10-12 chicken eggs
-An Emu egg averages 6" in length and 3.5" in diameter
-An Emu egg has a much larger yolk (percentage wise) than a chicken egg. Chicken egg = 65% white, 35% yolk whereas an Emu egg = 55% white, 44% yolk
-Cost is roughly $20/egg
-You will need a small drill to break through the very tough, thick shell!
