This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Aloha, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #MyAloha #AlohaMoment http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV The Greens My ideal day of nutrition would include vegetables at every meal. I think about how much I need vegetables all the time and somehow, I never seem to get enough. It's not that I don't like them -- I LOVE roasted veggies, a kale salad, brussel sprouts, love it all. But, it requires preparation -- unlike fruit which you can just pop in your mouth. I can take a bag of raw carrots to work but chances are slim I'll eat them. I'm a work in progress and do the best I can. But I know when I'm eating optimally, everything in life goes better. … [Read more...]
Life Was at the Edge of My Comfort Zone, Just Like They Say
Perhaps you've heard the quote, "Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone"? This has rung true many times in my life but one time in particular stands apart. I had recently graduated from college and was living in my hometown working as a waitress. I had no idea what to do with the rest of my life. I had potential, I had ideas. But I was overwhelmed by the freedom of choice. I know, it was silly, but it was true (how we long for that now, right?)

But I knew that wasn't the answer. My friend Lindsay and I were contemplating … [Read more...]

(my sister!) Immersive Fitness: The Future is Here It's officially summer now and this weekend certainly felt like it! It was a LONG week at work and I was so ready for the weekend.

It also gave me a chance to make a pasta salad and break out some of the new flavors of Blue Diamond almonds I got recently -- hello blueberry and … [Read more...]
Summer Style For the Sporty Girl 2014
This time last year: Boston. And this: #BostonStrong: The Best & The Beautiful This time two years ago:10 Things I Would Tell My Younger Self It's rough re-stocking your closet every year. It's not that your old stuff is un-wearable, it's just that it's so "last year." It was so cute when you bought but now -- three wears later with a layer of dust on it -- it just doesn't hug your waist like you want it to (shirts always do this to me!) I don't get it but here we are again again and the cutest season of the year is upon us. For work and play, you need (okay, want) some new stuff to feel good and show off a bit. I'm currently in love with almost every piece I've seen at Scoop NYC -- especially because it's my style -- simple, … [Read more...]
