Alissandra b the lifestyle blog

No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. It really is my birthday – and I’m turning 29!

I’m celebrating tonight in Jersey City with my family and friends, and I can’t wait to ring in this next year of my life. There is so much I want to accomplish, and I’m so blessed to be where I am in my life. I’m happier and healthier than ever, and I have Inspiralized and my husband to thank for that!

Also in celebration of my 29th year, I am re-launching my lifestyle blog, inspiralizedali! I launched this site late last summer and shortly thereafter signed a deal for my second cookbook and unfortunately, had to devote all of my extra time to writing and recipe testing, so the site got put on the back burner, although I’ve been casually posting personal content on the @inspiralizedali Instagram.

But now, alas, it’s time to relaunch – and I’m so excited to share a more personal side of Ali on this lifestyle site. If you haven’t noticed already, I have a lot to say 🙂

Thanks in advance for all the birthday wishes – I know I say this all the time but I consider you all my extended friends and family, and I’m so lucky to have you take part in every part of my journey – birthdays or recipes, whatever!

And I’d love to hear your feedback on the new site! Now, it’s time for that champagne…

Happy birthday Ali!! So glad you're relaunching the lifestyle blog. Loved your post about the best sports bras for bigger chests!!! I'm hoping you do a post about the Peloton bike. I've finally decided to buy one after I have my baby this month. Since I live in MI, I've never been on the bike and dont know anyone who personally owns one. Would love to hear your thoughts about purchasing one. Thanks!!
