Nothing can really prepare you for when your worst fear comes to life. I just had a conversation with one of my best friends from college about everything that’s been going on. She remembers me saying on numerous occasions that I could pretty much incite a panic attack at the thought of losing one of…
I’m back in the land of #bikinilife. Yup, I’m back at the beach. As much as I love living in the mountains and truly think that’s the place for me, life wouldn’t simply not be complete without some beach time. Science says so Luckily science is on my side on this one. A recent study…
I remember sitting down at the bagel house to interview this adorable, curly haired, sweet girl as we were building out Flex & Flow. I knew immediately that I liked her, but I had no way of knowing how important, how absolutely integral to my life, she would become to me. I’m lucky enough that…
I find as I get older that my mom and dad were right about so much. Whether it’s safety while out running or that jerk I dated in high school, it all comes back to the advice they gave and the lessons they imparted. So rather than go into the trials of my dating experiences…
As much as I love to try new things, I’m also very much a creature of habit. I find something I like and I stick with it. I try out a new tank, love it, and get it in three more colors. I’m very loyal to my favorite brands. You can usually spot me dressed…
I’m in a slump. A funk. A I just wanna curl up on the couch in a snuggly blanket mood. I think it’s somewhat universal, at least up here in Portland. We’ve had maybe a few days of sunshine in months, let alone a warm and beautiful spring season. It’s hard to maintain a bright and…
Today we celebrate 108 years of International Women’s Day, during which we celebrate millennia of girlpower! I kind of love that this is the 108th year. 108 is a sacred number to many, including in many religions, yoga, and martial arts practices. I also feel the feminist energy is at (nearly)* an all-time high. *I…
Webster’s Dictionary defines “love” … Let’s just skip the cheesy crap, shall we. It’s Valentine’s, cheesy crap is expected. Have I been delivered red roses by my boyfriend on Valentine’s Day? Yes. Have I been given diamonds by my boyfriend? Yes. Have I been proposed to at a romantic restaurant on Valentine’s Day? Well, not…
I’m not going to get political, I’m going to get empowered! At this point you’d have to be living under a rock to not notice the tension in the air right now. Since the election, all manner of emotions have been running high. No matter the side of the political spectrum you’re on, the tension…
We’ve talked about 2017, why I’m excited, what I’m working toward, how I’m getting empowered for an awesome year! Even though I talked about how weird / unusual / scary 2016 kind of was, there were some really great moments and some really amazing things that happened! Let’s revisit, shall we? I kicked off the New…
