There have been a lot of post going around lately from various blogs with the general theme of: "Why I blog."  Everyone blogs for different reasons and has different things to share.  I find it really interesting all the different takes people have on blogging!

So today I am wondering, what inspires you to blog?  

A very special Happy Birthday to NE Blogger Vicki!  Go show her some birthday love!

Blog of the Week: My Life My Way

Hi I'm Nikki and thanks for stoppin by my little part of the world wide web!

I started this blog as a place for me to write and keep track of my musings. Some things may be funny, serious, about health and fitness or just about me ranting about who knows what. Regardless it's my little spot to say what I want. I am not the best at filtering which I think makes me unique. I don't mean to offend anyone so please if I do and you feel you need to say something to me email me or leave me a comment. 

I am a Longshoreman by day and a Group Fitness Instructor by night. I recently just completed my first Les Mills BodyCombat and I LOVE it! I am getting ready to go for BodyPump training next! I love to work out. It has become a passion of mine since I have lost over 130lbs.

I have also started working with AdvoCare and love helping people become more healthy and reach their goal of weigh loss, gaining more energy, earning some extra income or whatever I can do to help them! If you have any question please do not hesitate to ask! 

I have 2 fur babies Zoe and Rylie.



They are my world. I love them more than any dog owner should love their dogs but ya know what I wouldn't have it any other way. 

My family and frieds are my life and I try to spend as much time with them as I can.

When I am not caught up at work or at the gym you can catch me at the mall shopping for clothes and shoes because lets be honest what girl does not like clothes and shoes? You will also catch me playing with my pups, messing around with my camera, reading, watching mindless reality tv, or just hanging out. I'm a sucker for sweets and wine and good food to!

Travel.
It's a passion of mine.
I have been to many places and I have a dream list of places that I still want to go to. Off the top of my head I have been to Germany, Ukraine, Russia, St. Thomas, St. Martin, St. Lucia, Canada and Aruba. Just to name a few!

Do be shy lets be friends!

That's me in a nutshell. Questions? Don't hesitate to ask!

You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and Bloglovin'

NE Life: Times Square from a New Yorkers Viewpoint

Welcome to the North East Bloggers // Northeast Life series where our Northeast bloggers can share snippets of life in their own NE location!  Today's post comes from blogger Phil of "The Regular Guy NYC."

"Times Square NYC – Are You Frickin’ Kidding Me?"

NYC offers up so many great places to see, explore, and experience. There are a multitude of spots to eat a fabulous meal, take in entertainment, enjoy a delicious cocktail, view culture, and revel in history among others. As a long time resident of this gotham we call home I have yet to really hit up all the things I want to see and do. There is just always something going on here and not enough time to be a part of it. Yet, there is one dreaded place in NYC that “real New Yorkers” refuse to go on a normal bases – Times Square. This Disneyfied version of what use to be grungy and grimy Times Square is a beacon for people from all over the world to visit when arriving here on vacation. In 2012 NYC had a record breaking 52 million tourists visit the city, and I could swear all of them were in the Times Square area! This part of town becomes a frickin’ nightmare for the local New Yorker to navigate, and we all get a bit nauseaus just thinking about having to be there. Unless we head there to take in a show on Broadway we never, ever, really want to venture there. Even then, it’s a quick escape onto the subway or in a cab as soon as the show ends. “FLEE” is the first thing we think of, as this tourist trap hell hole frays every nerve in our bodies.
