There is something special about welcoming in a new year. However, I always expect it to be a little more glamorous than it turns out to be… There was quite the celebration last year that I missed out on. While I was at home on the couch getting ridiculously sick, my friends were out dancing in…
I went to see Coco last night. (Side note: amazing!) The theater showed a holiday-themed Frozen “long short” beforehand, centered around holiday traditions. While my date and I were not as impressed as his 3-year-old niece probably would be, it got me thinking about traditions. I LOVE Christmas. The snow, the lights, the trees. Yummy…
Let’s talk magnetism. That phenomena of two things inexplicably being drawn to each other. Ok, I know there’s “science” behind it. But regardless, it’s a pretty incredible thing. Take the connection away from metal and ore to people for a minute. Sometimes there’s that instantaneous reaction when you meet someone. I’ve found that it happens…
Warning: REAL things ahead, like Instagram not portraying real life all the time, pregnant and mom bodies, and boobs. I went to spin class yesterday for the first time in, well, a long time. I think the last time I saw this crew and got on a stationary bike to ride and sweat my face…

I don’t have to wake up on the wrong side of the bed to not be in the best mood. Some days I just don’t wanna… So when there’s not necessarily a problem that can be fixed, but I just feel meh, there’s a few things I do. Eat chocolate Some recent studies have shown…
Health is one of those things we definitely take for granted. Whether it’s injury or illness, it’s never fun when something takes us out of the game. I was sick for about a year and a half in high school. Fall of my sophomore year in 2005 I somehow got a bacteria called H. pylori. A…
To some of us, the eclipse a few weeks ago was a moment of slight darkness and insane traffic on an average Monday. To some, it was a magical celestial moment that we organized our day, even our summer vacations, around. To others, it signaled a time of reset and reflection. I saw my favorite massage…
I love fall. Beautiful foliage, blue skies, that crisp in the air. Boots and sweaters. I’m from a place famous for fall (Blue Ridge Mountains, anyone?). Fall in Breckenridge was hard for me. Undeniably beautiful… … but incredibly short lived. Fully “bloomed” aspens usually only lasted a week, maybe two. And then bare trees and…
