Tucson’s new lulu
If you’ve been following the blog for a while, then you know I used to work at lululemon. I LOVED working at lulu, but it wasn’t in my long-term goals. Also, I would joke that I made negative dollars – that discount was oh-so glorious. As a military wife, unless you’re a teacher or nurse,…

Smirnoff Sorbet Light Summer Cocktails
First wine, and then cocktails! [Head’s up: this post is sponsored by Smirnoff Sorbet Light. I was compensated for my participation, but would have loved to try the new flavors either way, especially since they don’t contain artificial colors or fake/added sweeteners. Of course, all opinions are my own, and I believe that if you…

BBQ Zucchini Chips
Hi friends! I absolutely loved reading your comments on yesterday’s intermittent fasting post. Thank you again to Maria and Catherine for starting the conversation! For now on, I think that would be a fun way to present “Focus On” posts regarding diet, just to further demonstrate that there are so many ways to fuel yourself-…

Focus On: Intermittent Fasting
When I first heard the intermittent fasting hype, it caught my attention, as most trendy diets will do. I always like to be familiar with food and fitness fads so that if I train a client who is following something new, I’m already familiar with what they’ve been doing. Once I heard the premise of…

DIY: refreshing rose facial spray
There are so many beautiful and extremely different personalities in our work locker room. We have the dancers, the spinners, the hardcore ass-kickers (that’s their official title), the yogis and more. Some flow from one type to the next–like the same airy fairy yoga instructor can kill you in bootcamp class. It’s amazing. I learn…

love to Boston + the workout sandwich
Hi friends. My heart is still really heavy today after yesterday’s tragic events in Boston. This post was originally supposed to publish around 3pm yesterday, but at the time felt so silly and inappropriate to post, I put it queue for this morning and enjoyed the evening with my family. Even though we had a…

Homemade Kombucha
Even though I made kombucha at 105degrees, it’s always freaked me out to make it at home. I pictured our house being overrun by scoby mushrooms, engulfed in a vinegar aroma. I also thought the Pilot thought it would be the final ticket to the “my wife is a little ‘out there’” town. But, guess…

4/14: April Week 3 Workout Plan
Is April really halfway over? I can’t believe that next month Kyle and Meg are getting married. The time flew by and I can’t wait to celebrate two people I love so much- it’s going to be a blast. Liv and I have been practicing her dance moves (get this: she can shake her shoulders),…

4/12: Friday Faves
-The way Caroline sleeps in the middle splits. She’s quite an accomplished canine yogini. -Homemade bubbles. Easiest thing ever- vegetable glycerin, dish soap + water. The bubble queen is a huge fan, and it’s nice to be able to quickly make more bubble mix at home sans chemicals. [Side note: I have an awesome little…

More Peas, Thank You
I’m a bit of a cookbook hoarder. My collection is kind of ridiculous, (one of the 3 designated cookbook spots in the house) and every time I’m in a bookstore, I have to convince myself to walk away from yet another cookbook. That is, unless I know the author’s lovely face. That’s always a reason…
Read More →why we’re still going to wait
After a while of carefully guarding my choices of posts and words over here, I’ve started to become more adventurous again. It’s not because I somehow magically stopped caring about what people think, but because I feel like if something is tugging on my heart for that long and is that powerful, it’s worth putting…
