CENTR Fitness App Review: Can You Get Fit Like the God of Thunder?

January 3, 2025 by realgraceshines Leave a Comment

The short answer is YES! You can probably get fit like the God of Thunder doing the workouts in the CENTR app but you might be a little hungry. Before I get into all of my thoughts, let’s start with some background. CENTR was founded by Chris Hemsworth in 2019. It was inspired by Chris’…

Setting Up for a Come Back? Or Just Another Mood Swing?

April 2, 2018 by realgraceshines Leave a Comment

Last week I was on such a high after going to a couple of the Miami Music Week events. I let loose, allowed myself to eat things I don’t normally eat. I was happy and lively, some might even describe it as euphoric. Then on Sunday I crashed — I was in such a bad…

When your body has changed in some kind of drastic way either following pregnancy, sudden weight fluctuations, or injury it can feel really uncomfortable to wear certain items of clothing.

September 14, 2017 by realgraceshines 4 Comments

I’m fine and my family is fine. Our homes are still structurally sound. I don’t have any power in my apartment but my folks do. They don’t have cable (it’s been out since the storm) and I have rigged my very low signal hotspot to try to work. I was finally able to get on…

Answer “What Do You Do” Differently

May 9, 2017 by realgraceshines Leave a Comment

Every time you meet someone new the same question rolls off their tongue right after their introduction, “so what do you do?” I have come to hate this question because everyone answers it the same way. They tell you what they do for a living. They don’t tell you who they are. And since everyone…

Impossible Standards

March 2, 2016 by realgraceshines Leave a Comment

The women of my generation were promised that we could do anything we wanted. Little did we know that actually we would be required to do everything. Go to college, get the perfect job, have perfect hair, marry the perfect man, be bendy like Stretch Armstrong, cook like Julia Childs, have an ass you can…
