This is how I’m keeping cool: frozen grapes. How about you?

Starting the weekend off right, with a toast first to Mr. Anthony Bourdain, who reminded me at an early and formative age, to savor every meal, and every moment.

Not sure if I COMPLETELY buy this, but it's an interesting fun read...

Have you ever wondered why it is that the farther down into a pint of ice cream you get, the tougher it is to put it back into the freezer? We ask an expert at Ben & Jerry's for answers.

A dash of salt, pepper, and a huge splash of good balsamic vinegar turn my former most-despised vegetable into sweet perfection.

Most of you know I'm a huge advocate of weighing in daily...here's yet another compelling reason why it sets you up for success, forever.

I read nutrition labels before I buy anything in a package, I practice portion control, and I exercise and weigh myself every day.

Wishing you all a sweet day, filled with more heart-shaped fruit and a balanced quantity of the chocolate kind!

Yes. Part of my day is spent listening to what men want. And it's not what you are thinking...let me know if you're surprised. XO Brigitte

I know what men want. They tell me all the time. It might surprise you. As a Matchmaker and dating coach, I listen to men all day

So, a pretty crazy thing happened to me about a year ago.

At what I thought was the height of my career as a food and weight loss coach, I was approached by a company to work for them as a matchmaker and dating coach for their 40-60+ year old clients.

It was not completely out of the blue. I was writing for their website on the topic of getting in shape before dating again and they knew of my track record for coaching women to their fitness goals.

I was flattered, even amused, but was not interested as I had a full clientele of happy, successfully thinning clients.

I was not even exactly sure what they saw in me.

Here’s how they explained it to me: motivating women to get out and date is not so different than motivating women to lose weight. And it’s true…the process of losing weight, like dating for the first time in a long time, can be unpleasant, and most women don’t know how to start and could use a goal-oriented cheerleader to guide and inspire.

Hmm…that made sense me. I was intrigued and curious.

I agreed to take on 1 client.

Long delicious story short, it’s a year later and I just might be addicted.

I have a lot of clients. Happy clients who are dating, and with each date, get better, more confident, and closer to their dating and relationship goals.

I think I’ve fallen in love with helping people fall in love.

P**f. I’m a matchmaker and dating coach.

It’s a little crazy, but it’s all good.

That’s what we get when we are not 20 anymore: we’ve earned the wisdom and the freedom to be anybody we desire, even if it doesn’t fit in a nice, clean box.

We can be messy. And we can have and celebrate our many wonderful and different parts.

As we age, we get smarter, more insightful, and more confident about what makes us happy.

We now get to use all our accumulated experiences to our advantage, to create the very best happy versions of ourselves, including our choosing better mates who compliment who we’ve become.

Our history truly becomes our compass to true happiness and meaningful relationships.

But dating in our later years is not easy. There is no playbook. I’ve learned a lot in the last year and I cannot wait to share it all.

I’m finishing up My Top 4 Tips for Getting Back on The Dating Scene. I'll be sharing it with my mailing list this week. If you want a copy, let me know: thenycmatchmaker@yahoo.com

For now, have a wonderful day!

Quick and easy – these buffalo chicken strips are spicy and delicious! I like to serve them with my homemade skinny blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side for a hot and spicy appetizer.

What's worse than not being anywhere near your goal weight during the holidays??
Being single, and not wanting to be single, during the holidays.
Did you ever notice that the same well-meaning people who push food on you are the SAME people who want to know why you are STILL single??
Here's what to do about it to...

I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays. I love the lights, the smell of cinnamon and pine, connecting with family and old friends,
