Warm. A four-letter word to describe my bed this morning. Cozy and comfy also come to mind. It's always been a struggle for me to wake up in the morning, ever since I was in high school, and my mom had to practically drag me out of a dream-state. It's funny because I am a... Continue Reading →
This is Halloween
By August 1st, I've already had enough of summer. Hot days and sticky, uncomfortable nights are not for me; thank baby Jesus for central air. Right about now I'm stopping to smell all the fall scented candles and am dreaming of hoodies, boots, apple crisp, jack-o lanterns, and crunchy leaf piles. I'm so ready. If... Continue Reading →
For tea lovers only
Ahh...tea. It's been so popularized in the media these days. Everyone wants (to know) the tea, but I just want to drink it. Seriously, though, tea is so comforting. It's a warm blanket on a chilly day. It's a hug in a mug when you need one. It's also a refreshing thirst-quencher when served over... Continue Reading →
Transform :20 wasn’t for me
I was recently talking with a friend about how all programs (diet or workout) are not a good fit for everyone. When it comes to your health and well being, you have to do what works for you, not the hundreds or thousands you see on social media. You might remember how I shared that Beachbody's...

How to find a workout that sparks joy
I am probably one of the very few who didn't fall head over heels for Transform:20, the new workout by Beachbody Super Trainer Shaun T. I tried a sample workout before launch and just wasn't feeling it, so I knew I wouldn't be motivated to complete it. Many people who say they hate working out... Continue Reading →
I tried the Commit30 Planner. Here’s what happened…
For almost the entire month of December, I was OBSESSED with the Commit30 Planner. I visited the website an excessive amount of times, downloaded a few of the free PDFs and challenges, and I had it sitting in my cart for a really long time. The, 2019 Weekly Day Planner, which I eventually purchased (above),... Continue Reading →
Warning: Unpopular opinion shared below. At the end of last year, I decided to cancel my Beachbody Coach account. After toying with the idea for a while, I had a few revelations that culminated in one huge Eureka moment before my 29th birthday: it just wasn't bringing me joy. And like Marie Kondo says, "Keep...

The Productivity Project
I'm not one to write a review prior to finishing a book, but the thing is, I could base my entire rating on just Part One. This has been one of the best books I've read all year and the absolute best (ever) on the subject of productivity. If you're looking for a great read... Continue Reading →
10K a Day
If you work in an office setting (like I do), you probably know just how hard it is to get in the number of recommended steps each day. I park in the farthest possible spot, always take the stairs, get up at least once an hour to stretch my legs, bypass the closest bathroom, workout... Continue Reading →
