Spring 2014 workout playlist
Hi friends <3 I finally took my first studio yoga class since we’ve moved here, and I’m pretty sure it’s one of my new yoga hOMes. Many readers have recommended Happy-U Namaste in Ocean Beach, and I knew that I wanted to give it a try. It’s right across the street from my beloved Tiki…

HIIT the Hill Workout
I’ve got a HIIT treadmill workout for you today! It’s appropriately name “HIIT the Hill” because you’ll be changing up both your incline and speed on the treadmill. It’s a good, sweaty cardio! Meanwhile, I’m still on a mission to find the best acai bowl in San Diego. 😉 Nekter Juice Bar brought it strong…

It finally happened
Today, I finally felt like I LIVE here. I thought it would happen quite a while ago, especially with resuming the usual to-dos and chores, but nope. It still felt like vacation, even when I had a mountain of laundry to tackle and bags of groceries to put away. It comes with the novelty of…

Clean Eating Tuna Salad
This recipe is inspired by the tasting tiki hut at Trader Joe’s. I’m thankful that they manage to give me a quick little snack when the munchies hit, and they also tend remind me of things I love that have somehow fallen off the radar. Case in point: tuna salad. We were getting our weekly…
