Let’s Sleep on It!
Do you like sleeping? Are you into polysomnography? Well, then this may be the app for you.
The Sleep Cycle alarm clock’s primary goal is to (1) monitor + analyze your sleep using the built-in accelerometer + (2) wake you at the most optimal time. Being subject to poor sleep + having even been involved in a couple of medical sleep studies, I was amped up to check this app out after all of the positive reviews + the cheap price point. It is touted to help you establish a good sleeping pattern based upon your personal sleep history.… more …

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes…Knees and Toes
Today was my first day of reading to preschoolers (ages 3-5) through the nonprofit Ready Readers. I had my two books (Painting Mice and Does a Cow Say Boo?) and a stack of blank nametags in hand. As I approached the classroom door, I realized I was nervous. What if the kids don’t like me? What if I’m not organized enough? What if they don’t pay attention?
I walked in and the teacher greeted me with a beaming smile. She told the kids that I was there to read for them and asked them to sit down around a… more …

Now Serving: Pizzeria Tivoli
By Cristy Miller
Nestled in the corner of S. Kingshighway and Holly Hills Avenue, Pizzeria Tivoli is a small, charming eatery that serves wood-fired pizza. Like the space, the menu is small (12 slightly thin crust pies, 2 appetizers and 3 salads), but focuses on the flavors in pizzas like the roasted garlic, ricotta, mozzarella and parmigano or the shrimp pesto with sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella. There’s also a “Tivoli” pie with tomato, artichoke hearts, chicken and red peppers and spinach pie with ricotta. Classic pepperoni and margherita pizzas are also offered. With simple, fresh ingredients and classic flavors, Pizzeria… more …

When you gotta go, you gotta Go!
Yesterday was the Go! St. Louis Marathon, an event that draws thousands of walkers, runners, marathoners and half-marathoners every year (this year there were over 17,000!). I am proud to say I finished the half, my second!–and I have the pain to prove it! (Pain killers at the ALIVE office today, a Monday, was super fun!)
Granted, my race time was nowhere NEAR what it was last year (last year I was just under 2 hours, won’t say what it was this year ), but that’s because I didn’t really train much. But, I still had just as much fun… more …

The Power of the Park
If you are anything like me there are a handful of things that can make you question your sanity. For me one of those things is preparing my taxes. Each year the idea of reviewing the financial ups and downs of the previous year- what I made, what the stock market did or didn’t do and what my business expenses were over the last 12 months- it’s enough to make my head explode. On top of that already painful process all of this information has to go into an Excel workbook neatly organized for an accountant who will give you… more …
