What Makes You Sparkle?
Hi ladies! My name is Cara Alwill Leyba and I am a newish newlywed, married 2 years this Valentine's Day (I won The Knot Valentine's Day Empire State Building wedding contest in 2011)
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I run a blog called The Champagne Diet, which
has lots of inspiring, MOET-ivational posts about living an
effervescent life and toasting to yourself as often as possible. My blog
has been featured in Glamour, Cafe Mom, Shape, and a host of other
sites. I am also an author and a lifestyle coach and I work with women who feel stuck in a rut and burnt out - maybe you're working your tail off at the job you always thought you wanted, but you're miserable. Or maybe you're totally in love with your career, but you aren't making time for yourself or your hubby. I encourage women to figure out what makes them sparkle and get out there and do it! Everything from indulging in more "me time," to taking that French class they've always wanted to take, to committing to an "escape plan" from their current job (yes, I've helped people write these!) You can check out my book Sparkle here, if you're interested.
Totally not here to sell anything - just thought I'd tap into this amazing community and share my work with all of you! I know we're often super hard on ourselves and its my mission to make us celebrate what we've got and feel good about ourselves 
Looking forward to connecting!

Re: What Makes You Sparkle?
Oh wow! I read about the Champagne Diet a year ago in a magazine! It sounds so fun! I would love to chat! Nice to meet you! Please PM me anytime! I live in the DC area if I recall you are in NY.
Do you incorporate an exercise regimen as well? If so what type?
