Sometimes I really envy my friends and “blends” who are personal trainers and/or fitness instructors. While I know their lifestyle can be incredibly tough (early and late hours training clients, working on commission, eating on the go, and having to commute to various gigs in different parts of town), I often wish I had the…
World Health Day 2016 – Healthy Hacks for the 9-5 Life
Hello, hello! Did you guys know that today is World Health Day? I didn’t until a few days ago when the fine folks at Cotopaxi asked me to share some of my “healthy living hacks” with you guys. World Health Day, which falls on the birth date (April 7) of the World Health Organization, is…
Blueberry Vanilla Smoothie (With a Secret Ingredient)
This blueberry vanilla smoothie is healthy and delicious, thanks to a special, nutritious secret ingredient. Even though I’m always scrambling in the mornings and have little time to fuss with kitchen equipment, I have recently jumped back onto the smoothie train. Choo Choo! After sharing this delightfully simple and festive recipe on Amanda’s blog, I’ve…
My Favorite Yoga Stretches for Tight Shoulders (+ Target C9 Sports Bra Review)
My shoulders are tiiiigghht. Ridiculously so. Even though I haven’t nursed Bazooka in 3 months, I think I’m still recovering from “nursing neck.” Spending 8 hours at a desk bent over a keyboard doesn’t help either. For almost a solid week, I’ve dealt with the worst neck + shoulder pain on my right side. I don’t…
An Unplanned Lesson In Self-Esteem
For much of last month, my stress/anxiety was incredibly high. So high that I think my body decided to take it out on me by saying “enough!” One of the ways my body sent up red flags was with my eyes. I’m not entirely sure if it was my poor habit of rarely cleaning my…
Spring Bucket List
The other day I was attempting (read: struggling) to come up with blog topics, when I suddenly remembered sharing my fall and holiday bucket lists with you all. Oh, hey, it’s a new season! I may have missed the official welcoming of spring a couple weeks back, but since some of you guys are still…
How to Manage Blogging While Working Full-Time
When I first signed up for a WordPress account, I had no idea how much I’d love blogging. I mean I’ve always loved to write, but now that I’m taking some risks, tackling different topics, and participating in the blogging community, I realize that blogging has become an important part of my life. This will…
Thoughts On Being a Working Mom
Can I tell you guys a secret (promise you won’t judge)? Going back to work after the birth of my son wasn’t as scary and heart-breaking as I’d imagined it would be. I must be a monster. 😉 Of course I have emotional days and have dealt with my fair share of challenges, but when…
My Healthy Living ABCs
Funny story. Last month we purchased a magnetic phonics set for Bazooka. He’s obviously too young to be reciting his ABCs, but we thought it was a neat toy after seeing it at our friends’ house. Anyway, every time this child stops to look at or play with the magnets, he will, without fail, grab…
Mom Lies I Tell Myself: Volume 2
Motherhood continues to be an adventure—especially since I have a rambunctious toddler on my hands now. A few months back, I shared some of the “mom lies” I tell myself, and today I thought it would be fun to revisit that idea. Nope—there’s no way my child is saying “ass” We’re going to have to…
