    Role-Based Society

    Hi! It’s been awhile …. missed you all! I took some time off to focus on career and loved ones.And to be honest … sometimes I worry my social media image could impact my corporate career …. Has anyone else ever felt the pressures of a ‘Role Based Society’? Looking back realizing not much has changed (including my taste in jumpsuits) 😂 But seriously; recently a follower informed me that “I needed to grow up & do what adults do – get married & have kids.” What do ya’ll think of that comment? Does growing up in today’s society mean marriage & kids? Having a background in Engineering made me…

    F* Thigh Gaps

    The biggest thing people ask me is, “Why did you delete all of your fitness posts on Instagram?” Well, here you see me on a magazine cover with an actual thigh gap …. What you DON’T SEE is the two hours a day of cardio that it took to keep my hips in proportion with my shoulders.  Yes, I said TWO hours a cardio/day! That is why I took down all of my fitness related content.  I realized the power of social media and I questioned …what message am I actually sending? This is the real me; not doing excessive cardio everyday ….. this is the real proportion of my…

    NBA Fashion

    If ya’ll follow me on Instagram you would’ve seen my post below explaining how this a not the same neon dress I wore in past. Then I started to talk about NBA playoffs and about how those athletes never repeat an outfit walking into every game… that’s around 85 outfits a season. I wonder what is more stressful, playing in the games … or picking out an outfit. Personally, I think picking out the outfits would definitely be more stressful that’s why I wanted to take a closer look to see what what they came up with and to see what ya’ll think – while of course sharing my opinion.…

    Monday Night 🏈 w Molecule Sleep

    I just wanna cuddle in my molecule sleep sheets, eat pizza & watch football with you… Ok fine.. that’s not exactly what the Molecule Sleep brand is all about – it is trusted by professional athletes everywhere, but not to eat pizza in 😉 Molecule mattresses & sheets help regulate your body temperature while you sleep to help promote optimal muscle recovery & let me tell you ever since I received mine, the following is true …. Yup, the hardest thing I’ve had to deal with is leaving my molecule sleep system every morning. Let’s face it, I just turned 40 in June and I could use all the help…

    Age & Fashion (So, this is 40)

    I took this selfie in my new Beach Bunny swimsuit… & to my surprise Beach Bunny responded asking if they could send me a suit & if I could write a feature. At first I was sooooo excited… but let me tell you; that excitement quickly turned into doubt. I thought to myself, do they realize I just turned 40 yrs old & not only that I’m single? Do ya’ll remember that ‘Sex In The City’ episode where Carrie gets a cover that goes really wrong 🙈😂 …. But then I thought about how times have changed. Clothing campaigns like Good American broke barriers by featuring women of all sizes,…

    Scottsdale’s Secret Sanctuary

    The Brexley: A storied escape for the style conscious traveler…. With all of the venues on Airbnb you may be asking yourself, what’s so special about the Brexley? Well, that’s a really easy question for me to answer. In today’s society,  Instagram has been painting a portrait of reality that unfortunately, when you get close …. the perception portrayed on instagram just isn’t real.  It’s very rare to find realness and authenticity so when you find it … you have to hold onto to it … because it’s a diamond in the rough. Enter the Brexley…. the Brexley is reality. The Brexley is a picturesque retreat with amazing attention to…

    Dolphins In The Desert – Dolphinaris

    For those of you who are reading my experience features for the first time… my name is Toniann Rotante and I’m currently single, turning 40 this June. The question everyone asks, “Why are you single?” Well, I really don’t know why… but what I do know is that there are plenty of fish in the sea and with the rise of social media we are becoming more and more aware of just how many fish there really are. Photo by Michael Franco Anyways back to today’s feature story … Instead of freaking out with 40 approaching, I decided to embrace the moment with the people who mean the most to…

    For the Love of the Game

    They say a real woman won’t make you choose between her and baseball, a real woman will make you take her to the game and proceed to be the loudest fan there!! The Dodger Dback rivalry may be the “new kid on the block” but some are saying it is now one of the more notable ones in baseball! Well, I got to get a close up look at that rivalry at Tuesday nights game and I’m so excited to tell ya’ll all about it! Ok so I have to admit …. going to the Yankees game with my Dad as a little girl my focus really wasn’t on the…
