When someone tells me they’re interested in becoming a yoga teacher, the first thing I tell her (or him) is that it will completely change your life. I’ve been a yoga teacher for over 7 years now (woah). If you’d told me 10 years ago that I’d one day be a yoga teacher living in…
This was year 4 for me attending BlogFest as part of the Sweat Pink team. Every year is different, but we consistently kept hearing that this year was the best! I’m thinking a big part of this has to do with the unplanned theme of so much of the conference: being your authentic, imperfect self….
When you’re a kid envying grown ups their freedoms, what they don’t tell you is that it’s really hard to be an adult. Ok, maybe they do try to tell you that. I distinctly remember being told to enjoy my youth. The catch of that is that you don’t really know how amazing it is…
And here I thought summer couldn’t get any crazier. Last year was the epitome of unusual. I was back and forth to North Carolina all summer long for my dad’s transplant. We were in Vegas for BlogFest, roadtripped to California for the EMPOWER race. I also went to Rochester, NY, Seattle, WA, and Asheville, NC,…
Springtime in Portland is full of beautiful blooms and drastic weather swings. Last week we had a 90-degree day full of sun and beers on patios (yup, there was a lot of sunburnt Portlanders around town the next day) and then Monday was 50 and rainy. After spending the weekend in Vegas (weekend recap to come!) in…
One of the most interesting things about running a race is the after-effect. I remember being shocked after my first half marathon with how sore and just werked I felt afterwards. Thank goodness my total lady crush Annmarie at Fit Foodie Mama has some great tips for preventing muscle soreness! Hydrate after Hydration before and during a…
Ok that’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but right now that statement is true for me. It’s springtime here in Portland. Which means some days of torrential rain and wind, and some days of 65 and sunny. Sometimes it swings from one to the other in a matter of hours! That means running season…
Ok, I didn’t go out on a date with a full-blown nudist. We were in a bar in Portland. Wearing many, many layers of clothes. Though it might not be that far-fetched since I have been kicked out of a coffee shop because my date was barefoot and have been on a second date to…
I had a game plan today. I was going to wake up early enough to cross off 3 things on my to do list before going to 9am yoga. My computer was near dead when I sat down with my breakfast. I blame sitting on the couch with my kindle on needing to charge it…
Living in Portland has ruined me for coffee forever!
