✨ Introducing 50 Shades of Fit(ish): Hold My Wine 🍷💪

Because who says getting healthier has to be all kale smoothies and toxic positivity?

This is my raw, real, sometimes wildly unflattering journey to turn 49 into my personal pre-game for 50. Expect confessions about portion control fails, 5 a.m. gym wins (and whines), dry red wine negotiations with myself, and brutally honest reflections on what it really means to get fit(ish) when you’re old enough to know better.

This isn’t a guide. It’s not even good advice. It’s an invitation to laugh, groan, and maybe join me in refusing to age quietly.

New monthly in Local Vibe Magazine. Grab your glass. Let’s do this.

Local Vibe Magazine | July Issue

July is heating up—and so is Local Vibe Magazine. Our latest issue is brimming with small-town charm, big ideas, and the stories that keep Northeast Oklahoma buzzing.

Sip a cup of something strong while you meet Perked Up , Salina’s new go-to for coffee and conversation. Dive into the determined grit behind Bison Land Management, Bison Roll-Offs , and Peggs Automotive and Tire —proof that local business is anything but small-time.

And don’t miss the debut of our new personal column, 50 Shades of Fit(ish)—a raw, witty, and ever-so-classy journal following my journey to celebrate 50 in style (dry red wine in hand, of course).

Whether you're a local, a loyal reader, or just vibing through town, this issue is your passport to the best of what makes us... us.

Read it. Share it. Live the Local Vibe.

It's happening! I'm about to hit PUBLISH!

07/06/2025

🎉✨ The July Issue of Local Vibe Magazine drops tomorrow – a little late, but 100% worth the wait!

I’ll admit it: between the holiday hustle, a few personal bumps in the road, and good old-fashioned procrastination (my toxic trait?), this one’s fashionably late. But I promise it’s coming in hot!

Inside you’ll find:
☕️ A feature on Perked Up – the coffee shop that’s as charming as its name.
🚜 The story behind Bison Land Management, Bison Roll-Offs, & Peggs Automotive & Tire – local businesses built on grit, vision, and a roll-up-your-sleeves spirit.
🍷 And a very personal piece: my own Fit(ish) to 50 journey. Spoiler alert: it’s raw, real, and wine-friendly.

I may be late, but this issue is filled to the brim with local flavor, small-town hustle, and a big ol’ dose of honesty.

Thanks for your patience and your support of this wild little publication. ❤️

Keep an eye out tomorrow – let’s turn the page together!

I stopped by The Fuzzy Buffalo and Perked Up today for a little caffeinated retail therapy and convo with Kevin. You can read all about our convo in the July issue of LVM 😎

Although this magazine is free to view online, I am able to order hard copies. They are $24 each. UNLESS...if I have at least 10 paid pre-orders they are $17 each. So far, I have 4 wanting to order. I need 6 more, in order to get the lower price.

The June Issue is HERE — and it’s packed with small-town charm, smoked meat, and stories that hit home. We’re taking you to the heart of Locust Grove for Founder's Day festivities (think turtle races

🔥 The June Issue is HERE — and it’s packed with small-town charm, smoked meat, and stories that hit home.

We’re taking you to the heart of Locust Grove for Founder's Day festivities (think turtle races, foam parties, and one heck of a rodeo) (Locust Grove Area Chamber), stepping inside Big Daddy's Lures where tradition is hand-tied, and heading to Inola for the BBQ experience that’s setting Saturdays on fire— Countrymen BBQ.

This issue is a celebration of local pride, the people behind the scenes, and the flavors that bring us together.

📍 Proudly rooted in Northeast Oklahoma.

I enjoyed some time at Big Daddy's Lures Customer Appreciation Day today. If you haven't made it out there, you have until 3p. If you missed it this year, plan on being there for the next one!

You can "catch" their VIBE in the June issue (hopefully publishing LATE tonight)
