I've been a true loyalist to Origins, Aveda and The Body Shop for the better part of ten to fifteen years.  I admit, I walk into a store and I fall hook, line and sinker for the scents they pump through their stores.  The Body Shop was one of the first companies that tauted no testing on animals.  And being the animal lover that I am, this appealed to me greatly.  Whether it be a mouse or a dog, if it has fur and four legs, I'm pretty much in love.  Aveda was one of the first shampoos that I bought that went beyond the cheapo brands.  And well,  Read more >

Most of us have experienced peer pressure at one time or another, most likely when we were adolescents.  At that time, it was pretty blatant: ’Buy these jeans, everyone else has them’…‘You need to make the basketball team, otherwise you’ll be a loser’…‘Try a sip of this punch or a smoke, it makes you feel great.’ As we get older, however, peer pressure is more subtle…more damaging. We are confronted with judgment and pressure from friends, family, colleagues and even the media, day after day, often all in conflict with one another.  Read more >

This past week I learned of three healthy and fit women, all under 50, who are either undergoing breast cancer treatment or have become breast cancer survivors.  Each woman who is diagnosed with breast cancer has their own story of how they found a lump, what stage it was in and a unique process of how they made decisions around treatment.  It is the first part of the story, h  Read more >

Yesterday, as I waited to get a facial, I picked up a copy of a magazine in my Spa's waiting lounge.  The magazine is geared towards informing consumers on cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery and other invasive procedures to stay 'young and beautiful.'  Against invasive and aggressive beauty procedures myself, I'm always interested in what these types of publications have to say.   Read more >

Information

About Me: 
Brett is founder of Sheer Balance, an internet media company devoted to helping individuals lead healthy and balanced lifestyles. Brett started Sheer Balance when she realized that many of her friends and colleagues constantly struggled with finding balance in their every day hectic lives. They often didn't have the time to dedicate to cooking and eating healthy, exercising, or taking time out for themselves. Further, she realized that many of these women were frustrated by the overwhelming amount of information that was contradicting, unclear and misleading when it came to healthy living. As a result, Brett saw a need to provide women with the right tools and information to make living healthy easy and fun.

Brett has been in the wellness industry for over 15 years. Her passion for health and wellness began at the age of 17 as a freshman at Cornell University, where she quickly realized that exercise and good nutrition were vital to releasing stress and maintaining balance. Brett became certified as a group fitness instructor through AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), and went on to teach for Cornell University, Gold's Gym and Bally's Total Fitness in New York. She taught all types of fitness classes and especially enjoyed helping her students understand fundamentals of nutrition, fitness and overall wellness.

Brett holds a Bachelor in Architecture and an MBA, with a focus on Spa Development and Brand Management, from Cornell University.
