When Fall in Chicago hits, I always head down to State Street in Chicago to complete much-needed discount retail therapy. Nordstrom Rack and the sales at NY&Co are some of my favorites, but I always make sure to stop by Filene’s Basement for deals on cute Betsey Johnson watches and out-of-season designer pumps. To my dismay, I’ve learned that the chain is closing its doors after the holidays. Keep reading to learn more about Filene’s and the end of the discount store due to the entrance of the Internet discount deal.

After years of watching the federal government change its nutritional guidelines, they’ve made yet another development – they’ve finally scrapped the somewhat controversial pyramid shape. It always seemed like the food pyramid was impossibly hard to attain. How many people do you know who would consistently eat 7-9 servings of vegetables daily?
Ultimately, it just wasn’t a practical representation of what is realistic for Americans. But first lady, Michelle Obama, has taken the issues of both childhood obesity and nutritional standards under her wings and has been working tirelessly to make significant revisions.

I’m not your average person when it comes to sleep. For me, sleep has always been hugely important. I almost never pulled all-nighters in college, mostly because my body wouldn’t let me stay awake that long. I’m the kind of person who needs that 7-8 hours of sleep to function because a tired me is a cranky me.
Check out the 4 best and worst sleeping positions!
So despite the fact that I always find myself wishing there were more hours in the day, I try to stick to a fairly strict sleeping schedule. Because I wake up super early (just before 5 am), I’m usually in bed by 10 pm every night. While I don’t love being an early bird, I can tell the difference in my mood and energy levels when I go to bed at 10 from when I go to bed at 11.

The American College of Sports Medicine released its findings on the healthiest most populous metropolitan areas as part of the annual American Fitness Index. How do you think your city stacks up? My closest metropolitan city is Chicago, which I thought would be somewhere in the middle of the pack, and I was right! Chicago came in at number 28, which isn’t ideal as far as I’m concerned, but better than being last.
So how did they rank the cities? They considered a variety of factors such as the percentage of residents who smoke, obesity rates, percentage of people who work out and proximity to parks, trails and farmer’s markets. The study also considered the rate of diseases such as heart attack and asthma as indicators of overall health.

Do you have jimmy legs? Do you love to tap your fingers rhythmically on hard surfaces? If so, you’re probably a fidgeter. I’m not much of a fidgeter, unless I’m nervous. Until recently, I had never really thought much about the physical activity part of fidgeting, but I suppose any movement is better than no movement. Right?
I came across an interesting article today in the New York Times that questioned how much our everyday movements impact our physical fitness levels. So things like fidgeting, walking from the living room to the kitchen, running to catch the bus, taking the stairs at work, etc. We all probably know that we’re supposed to be getting at least 30 minutes of exercise between 5-7 days a week. Some of us meet this goal, but many of us don’t.
