"The fitness industry has tried to decrease America’s obesity epidemic for over 30 years, but, from my perspective, to no avail. I think the industry should look outside fitness to innovate their approach.

With over 15 years of personal training and searching for better ways to support my clients in the Spokane area and the northwest, I’ve found two ideas outside the fitness world that have absolutely changed the game for me."

In business they say innovation always comes from the outside. FedEx used the “hub and spoke” system from telecommunications to improve how quickly a package could be delivered. Social media used gamification from video games to increase how long users spend looking at their phone. 3M once consu...

"I am the youngest of six sisters and one brother, all significantly older than me. Yes, I can hear the collective “oops” from you, readers. The benefit to having much older siblings was, growing up, I was the only little one in the house. The brother and sisters had moved out, or were teenagers doing their own thing. That meant I didn’t have to share my dad with anyone.

My father’s name was James McGarry and I adored him."

"They also have a great selection of wine and beer, including some local brews, and they offer a lot of fun mimosas. Zack and I were both in the mood for a beer, and so I went with the Laughing Dog Huckleberry Cream Ale out of Ponderay, ID. It was the best beer I’ve had in a long time – the flavor was somewhere in between a beer and a cider – very refreshing!"

Zack and I decided to soak up the sun this weekend by taking a drive. We ended up around the Newport area, and we were getting pretty hungry, when we stumbled upon Brownells. What we munched on ~The St*****rs ~Burrata Caprese ~Firecracker Shrimp ~The Original Gangster Burger   We started out sharin...

“This time around, we’re doing things a little differently and it’s working out fantastically,” Sacksteder said. “We offer layaway, gift cards, and even a rewards card. There’s always something happening at The Dragon: sales, raffles, Veteran discounts, store-wide drawings, and so much more.”

I stepped into the Colville Hobby store, also known as the Eclectic Dragon, I knew I was in trouble. They have so many cool things on display that my eyes weren’t sure where to land. From model trains and airplanes to a wide assortment of crystals, incense, and gifts, the Eclectic Dragon has somet...

"With the majority of documentaries falling into the very popular true crime genre, it’s really refreshing when something’s released that incites mystery and intrigue in the viewer. Each episode is dedicated to a different mystery or phenomena and feature accounts, with two episodes covering events that took place in Washington. It’s well worth a watch."

There’s nothing quite like sitting down to a new documentary series, and if stories of alien abduction, haunted lakes and other unexplained phenomena are of interest to you, Files of the Unexplained shouldn’t disappoint. With the majority of documentaries falling into the very popular true crime...

"She’s a one-woman show, a floral artist, a photographer and a well-rounded garden expert. She arranges bouquets in her mind to go to sleep at night, and her passion for life and flowers is extraordinary."

“I do it for the buzz. I do it for the bees. I don’t even know how many pictures I have taken of napping bumble bees.” Chani Blizzard-Durkin has always wanted to do something big to change the world. Her ideas about what that might look like have changed over the years, but she…

"I couldn’t resist their toast options, which are basically open-faced sandwiches. Everything sounded so good, they even offer a caprese style one. However, their turkey toast was calling my name. They use thick bread that has a crispy crust and a soft, flakey center. They smear cream cheese then layer on thinly sliced turkey, and top it with arugula, red onion, and a seasoning blend."

Zack and I were amazed to discover Lofty Skies Coffee Co. in Deer Park. They are located in the strip mall with Eagle Pawn and Masters Brewhouse, but we hadn’t realized they were there until today. What we enjoyed ~Toast with Cream Cheese, Turkey, Arugula, and Pickled Red Onion ~2 Breakfast Tacos ...

"Many people in northeastern Washington and north Idaho were treated to the celestial experience of the Aurora borealis beginning on May 10, and for several nights after. The Aurora borealis was named as such by Galileo in 1619 and is a combination of the words “Aurora” from the Roman Aurora, the goddess of the dawn, and the Greek name for the north wind Boreas. This natural light show is also called the 'northern lights.'"
