Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great summer and are enjoying this beautiful first day of Fall. The city is active this week with the Pope’s visit and things have been better than ever!
First, I changed jobs and am now working full time as a Lecturer at American University. I am back at my old stomping grounds as a grad student and am loving every minute of it.
I also took on a position at Capital Center for Psychotherapy & Wellness, a wellness group in Downtown DC that offers psychotherapy, acupuncture, massage therapy and nutrition (me!). It is a great team there and I have enjoyed working with everyone and counseling people in a beautiful & relaxing office space.
In other recent news, an old friend from High School reached out regarding her company’s newest tech gadgets for health and wellness. The company, Withings, offers tech-savvy health gear to help keep you on track such as scales, activity trackers, blood pressure monitors and more.
Not only is the gear helpful for maintaining your health, but you look cool doing it. Their activite pop that I am using looks like a regular watch, but offers so much more. It tracks steps, sleep and heart rate while also acting as an alarm clock and time. Now you can get away with wearing a tracking device while staying professional at your day job.
One lucky reader will get a chance to win their own silver activite tracker. Just leave a comment by midnight on Friday September 25th and the winner will be chosen by random. Good luck!
Have It Your Weigh 
Love your adorable office! So glad to get a post and am really excited about a tracker that is a watch and looks nice!
So happy for you Allison! You work so hard and you’re so great at what you do. Glad you’re finally in roles you love! xo
Congratulations on the new job at AU- I’m sure your students love you! The Capital Center also sounds amazing, you should definitely let the AU Counseling Center know about your services if you haven’t already.
Congrats on getting such an awesome gig! The campus would be a great place to utilize the activite pop.
Yayy!! Congrats on the new job(s), how exciting! And I’m loving the Activite Pop as well- I recently gave up on my fitbit as it is so bulky and really is just a glorified pedometer- about time a company came up with a watch that has all the health-tracking functions too!
