Washington, D.C.
This past week, I had the pleasure of taking some down time and going to Cape Cod with my family. Originally, when we began discussing plans for vacation, I was a bit hesitant to go. Between school and just starting a new job, and being stuck with the same people I've been stuck with since [...]
Drumroll please...it's that time of year! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, though marking the end of summer, is always an exciting time. Don't get me wrong, I love my summer sundresses and laying in the sun getting crispy, but fall fashion is superior. Tank tops and dresses are all fun and games, but the layering that [...]
Welcome to the wild, windy world of fitness tracking. There's Fit Bit's, Apple Watches, Whoop Bands and Garmin watches galore. Then there's My Fitness Pal, Strava, the Apple Health app and Nike Training Club. Which one is right? Which one is the best bang for your buck? Which one will give the most accurate calories [...]
A question I constantly get asked, by readers of this blog and fellow colleagues and friends, is how I have time to work out amidst the daily demands of life. Working a busy job, being a graduate student and just typical self-care requires a lot of hours of the day, so how is there time [...]
*Note: I do get commission from these links and codes, and some are an ad Hello everyone! Can you believe July is almost over? July-ing! Ha, I couldn't resist that one. Did you stop reading already? I don't blame you. This past month has been filled with many great products, books, resources and little knick-knacks [...]
Throughout quarantine, and even over the past year, my workout routine has changed so much. I'm going through phases of enjoying a certain workout or style and the way it challenges me. Last summer I was into barre and pilates, then I got back into running a bit more, then SoulCycle, then running again, then [...]
Happy Monday everyone! Today, I'm bringing a totally new post to you - a travel guide! Most of my posts are about my life, lessons learned, school, work and mainly working out and health-related topics. However, this weekend, my mom, my brother and I took a day trip to Newport, RI and I felt inspired [...]
We've all been there - the look you give yourself in the mirror when you're not having such a great day, the things you tell yourself when another pimple shows up or your jeans fit a little too tight (thanks, quarantine). Self-confidence is a journey that feels like it's never fully, totally complete. One day [...]
Ah yes, the humid, sweaty, steamy, wet, muggy runs of summer, how I missed you. Seriously, I'm much more of a hot weather runner than I am a cold weather runner. Don't get me wrong, I'll definitely complain when my shirt is soaked after the warmup, but I love hot weather running so much more [...]
This was hard to write, and even harder to decide where to begin. My senior year at Baylor was emotional enough knowing it was my last homecoming, last season, last night with my friends, last time with my favorite professors, last time in the Lariat editing room, last everything. Now, let's throw in an injury [...]
