NamaSTAY in Bed…

Yep, this was what I used to think at the mention of yoga in my presence – NamaSTAY in bed. I have always HATED working out. I danced throughout my whole childhood (ballet, jazz, acro), but as teenager and adult I was more about the fries and big macs than the jumping jacks. It’s not like I never tried, believe me I have. I tried running and it makes my heart feel like it’s going to jump out of my chest and I also kind of want to kill myself the entire time I’m doing it. I took a Pilates class once…

Let’s Go Halfsies!

With many Americans on fitness, diet and health regimens, numerous upscale restaurants across the nation are now offering half-sized portions of entrees on their menus in addition to the larger full-size plates. The growing phenomenon was recently heralded in an article in the New York Post, noting that restaurants in America as a whole are noted for offering larger size portions and half-size portions are now a new dining trend. Hence, portions once considered suitable for children and  younger individuals are now accommodating those with smaller appetites. This practice is nothing new in the food industry.

American Watch Collection Essentials

watch-collection-essentials

In celebration of the forthcoming July 4th Holiday Weekend, we’re focusing this week on American watch collection essentials. While almost all American watchmakers have production facilities overseas, many including Invicta, Michael Kors, Caravelle New York  and Wittnauer are headquartered in the United States. What’s more, the designs for their watches are all created on American soil. Although Invicta watches reflect a rich heritage of Swiss watch-making, dating back to when the brand was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland during 1837, the watchmaker has been an American based company since the mid 1990’s and is headquartered in Hollywood, FL. Invicta by far…

Modern Times

Pace-setting modern wristwatches for both men and women have been at the fashion forefront since Movado introduced the Museum Watch in 1947. With streamlined Bauhaus inspired styling created by artist Nathan George Hewitt, the Movado Museum watch defined modern timepieces for many decades.

The iconic dial featured only two slender gold-tone finished sword hands and a single round dot accent at the 12 o’clock hour on a black background. A sweeping second hand and hour marker indicators were absent on…

Join The GMT Movement!

Before first glancing at a GMT Watch you may think that the timepiece has something to do with either Formula 1 auto-racing or the GMT games. Although the three initials are the same, a GMT watch has very little to do with either activity. A GMT Watch is a timepiece with an independent hour hand that offers dual time-zone functionality and may be set to the Greenwich Mean Time from which it is named. Greenwich Mean Time is the solar mean time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich England. The Royal Observatory’s solar mean time has served as a global…
