Continue reading →: Amazing Grass Review!
One of the best things about blogging is getting to try kickass new products. So when Amazing Grass reached out about their organic plant-based superfood hemp protein powder, I was ecstatic. Organic? Green? Hemp? That’s right up my alley, folks! My answer was a resounding hell yes! I expected to…

Continue reading →: Wednesday Wisdom: Life Happens for You
In the darker times of our lives, we all ask ourselves the same question: Why me? When everything falls apart, when tragedy strikes, we ask the Universe: “Why is this happening to ME?” Somehow, in the best times of our lives, when we’re faced with love and abundance and the…

I expected to be writing a super cool post about my awesome travels around Europe with my family, which I would be getting back from just about now. Instead, I didn’t go anywhere – the Europe trip I’d been looking forward to all year became the Europe trip that wasn’t.…

Continue reading →: Motivation Monday: Reaching Goals
Every Monday is a gift. A fresh start, a clean slate, a chance to start the week with an open mind, positive vibes and a grateful heart. We all have goals. Whether it’s to eat better, or run farther, to train for a race or show or just to see…

Continue reading →: Thoughtful Thursday: Personal Growth
I know I tend to preach a lot about self-love, positive vibes, inner peace, happiness, and all that soulful woo-woo stuff that not everyone is comfortable with. To be honest, my life has radically changed so much since I’ve embraced myself fully – mind, body, and spirit – that I…

Continue reading →: Bob’s Red Mill Review Giveaway!
Aloha all! Apologies for my absence lately – life has been crazy-full of adventures, injuries, soccer games and marathon training. Between training and work, it’s hard for me to carve out time for my blog, which is a bummer because I absolutely adore writing and seriously miss meeting and engaging with…

Continue reading →: Motivation Monday: Self Love
When we talk about goals, we tend to think in numbers: weight, reps, speed, inches, pace. We measure our progress by how fast we ran out last mile, or the breadth of weights on the squat rack. But maybe – just maybe – we’re getting it totally wrong. Self progress…

Continue reading →: Spartan BEAST & Giveaway!
I’m ecstatic that we will be conquering our first every Spartan BEAST at the Hawaii Trifecta Weekend in August! We’ll be conquering 13 –plus miles riddled with 30 to 40 obstacles like mud, barbed wire, spear throwing, rope climbing, traverse walls and sandbag carries. Nestled above the ocean and in…

I’ve never been one to post (or even support) transformation photos. They’re equally discouraging & misleading; simple things like time of day, lighting and filters can turn a normal tummy into cut abs. Along with other nonsense overloading Instagram, like wraps, cleanses and crash diets, transformation photos give the illusion…

Continue reading →: Stay Fit While Sick
A few weeks ago, a brutal cold knocked me OUT. I mean sleep-for-three-days, don’t-leave-my-house and drink-nothing-but-green-tea sick. I was forced to rest because I didn’t have much of a choice, but the second I got better I went right back to working out. What can I say? Old habits die…
