Six Ways to Feel More Comfortable Alone
The Modern Savvy

2y ago
The past year and a half has been a major adjustment for everyone. For me, it meant a lot of personal change. I got divorced, moved into an apartment last January and started co-parenting. Living alone half the time has been…. well, an adjustment. I think this is the first time I’ve ever lived alone and so I’ve had to find ways to feel more comfortable alone. While I’d be lying if I didn’t say sometimes it’s honestly amazing to have quiet time without two kids — I mean really, what parent wouldn’t? — I also crave connection. That said, I’ve found incredible comfort and peace in my own presenc ..read more

The Best Deals from the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
The Modern Savvy

2y ago
Wow, it’s been a while since my last blog post — I must confess I have about a dozen half written blog posts that I’m determined to share with you — however I wanted to make sure I shared my favorite finds in the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for 2021. Before I jump into my picks, though you can scroll down and I promise I won’t be offended, I want to mention one thing. I have seen countless bloggers refer to “shopping strategy”, getting a credit card to ensure items you want are in stock, and all sorts of scare tactics to make you need things. You likely need none of these things, and I hate wh ..read more

Anyone else feel like January just flew by? Maybe in some ways that’s a good thing but I know I also don’t want 2021 to be a wasted year that just passes me by. While none of us could have predicted 2020, we now have the ability to see this year in a clearer way. Yet, I know it’s often easier said than done. So let’s do this together. I took this “Inspired Action” workshop in December by my good friend and coach/mentor/”gets you where you want to be” woman, Kate Volman, and it was so insightful, real, eye opening and helpful. So much so that I asked her if she’d share it with all of you (as i ..read more

What My Hindsight Can Teach You // The Modern Savvy Turns 10
The Modern Savvy

3y ago
This blog basically exists because 10 years ago this past summer I got fired from another job. At the time it was devastating, like a sucker punch after I was already knocked down. Crazy what hindsight provides, right? Just a few months after becoming temporarily paralyzed, not knowing if I’d walk again, be able to hold my six-month old baby girl, pee on my own, or do many of the things I had taken for granted, my boss fired me… to focus on my health. I often say that decision is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It’s also one of the most defining moments of my life. This s ..read more

The Exercise That Has Helped Me Survive 2020
The Modern Savvy

Over the last couple of years I’ve really focused on developing a healthier, appreciation-driven relationship with my body. It hasn’t been easy. For far too long I connected my self worth and beauty from the number looking back at me on the scale. Why? It’s toxic behavior, and awful and simply not OK. We are so much more than that. Which is why today I wanted to share how to stay healthy during 2020. How to Stay Healthy During 2020 I stopped regularly weighing myself, stopped eating lower cal foods, using fake sugars and only eating lame 100 calorie snacks that left me hungry. I started eatin ..read more

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 – Top Picks Under $100
The Modern Savvy

3y ago
It’s that time of year again. It’s the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary sale, and each year I round up my top picks — plus share what’s worth it, what to pass on, etc. During each Nordstrom Anniversary Sale it’s easy to get carried away. The inventory is a bit more limited this year — I’m grateful for it — and I’ve also learned over time I am always happiest with purchases in these areas: footwear (booties and sneakers), kids clothing and shoes, undergarments, and something loungewear or workout wear. Think this longline sports bra, Bombas socks and this coordinating cozy sweatshirt and joggers. Tw ..read more

Sometimes I just really need a carb and the born-in-New York-Jewish girl in me just LOVES her bagels. They’re so good but sometimes I don’t feel like going out for them. Enter this two-ingredient bagel recipe! They’re so yummy, easy to make, there’s no yeast, no boiling and they’re healthier than store-bought options (and I can stay in my pajamas with my crazy hair!).
