Before I get into this week’s favorites, I have one big bundle of amazing music goodness to share… Here’s a story for you: It was 8:00 am on a Wednesday morning. After hearing on the radio that the Foo Fighters—one of my all-time favorite bands—was going to be in town for a concert, I decided…

My New Weekly Workout Schedule
So I’ve decided to cut the crap and finally make this consistent workout schedule thing a reality. I made a goal in my wedding fitness plan to workout five to six days a week, and needless to say, that has not been happening…until now. Over the past five years, as I’ve gotten much more into…
Healthy Food Staples to Keep on Hand
When your kitchen is stocked with the basics, cooking is so much easier. I see some people’s pantries, and I honestly don’t know how they live. Our fridge, freezer, and especially pantry always have a decent amount of items in them, even when we desperately need groceries. This is probably a result of me cooking…
My Favorite Fall Things
Happy first day of fall! This is my favorite season, with spring coming in at a close second. Due to me being quite fond of this time of year, I wanted to talk about all the goodness that starts with the autumnal equinox—aka today. This is a pretty general and short list because there are…
Kicking My Lunch Game Up a Notch with Eat Smart Salad Kits
When it comes to eating healthy meals, lunch is probably the most difficult for me. I always rush to throw together a pseudo-meal to bring to work every day, which causes some pretty blah food to happen on a regular basis. If leftovers aren’t available, I typically make either a boring sandwich or an even…
Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
The pumpkin has officially made its debut in our household. What have I made with it? A lot of super random things: a weird pumpkin chai latte, not-bad granola bars, and most notably, pumpkin pie overnight oats! I’m excited to try a lot of new recipes with the ingredient, but until I get more to…
My Favorite Cozy Things
Even though I work full time, I get to work from home once a week, which is amazing. A major benefit to being at home alone without distractions is the complete silence I am in. Normally, we have the TV on most of the day/evening, but when I’m on the clock, I’m usually sitting at the…
Lately I’ve Been…
Happy Friyay!! Even though it’s only been a 4-day workweek, I’m more than ready for this weekend to get started. On the agenda: happy hour tonight, a beer event tomorrow, and nothing Sunday. In other words, it should be a pretty good weekend. I wanted to do something fun for today’s post, so I ‘m…
My First Spin Class + My Favorite Things
So I tried spin for the first time this past weekend. It was awesome and awful. I was invited to attend a class through the Hotel Del Coronado. Here’s the kicker: the bikes are set up on one of the grassy areas behind the hotel, overlooking the ocean. As you can imagine, it was pretty…
25 Ways to Treat Yo’ Self Every Day
Happy Labor Day!! In honor of this fine holiday dedicated to those who work so hard, I’ve compiled a bunch of ways you can treat yo’ self today, tomorrow, or any day. If you’re not familiar with the phrase “treat yo’ self,” it originated from the sitcom Parks and Recreation, which Matt and I just…
12 Tasty Things to Make with Frozen Banana
Bananas–they’re the fruit that makes you hungry and can be both overripe and underripe at the same time. Today’s post is dedicated to the frozen variety. Seeing as how the window for perfect banana ripeness lasts approximately 10 seconds, I think everyone and their mother should start freezing them once they reach the overripe stage….
A Few of My Favorite Things
How is everyone’s September going!? Well it’s day two, so hopefully it’s not too bad. We finished August on a high note with Matt’s sister visiting. The weekend was filled with lots of adventures that basically revolved around alcohol and food because #SanDiego. One of my favorite activities was spending an afternoon at Orfila Winery,…
