Since I’m getting back into running finally, I’m starting to realize the need for good music to run to. Although I have quite a few playlists from back in the day, I wanted something fresh. And by fresh, I mean a few decades old. I’m talking 80s music, friends. It’s one of my favorite upbeat…

A Few of My Favorite Things
Spring’s got me like… Anyone else? When I lived in Illinois, I had ridiculous allergies. Then I moved here to San Diego and POOF, they were gone. So now I get really confused when I have allergies, which has definitely been happening lately. What is this nonsense!? I love you flowers, but keep your pollen…
10 Ways to Wake Up When You’re Tired
Do you ever feel like you’re the most tired person in the history of the world? Me too (at least lately). I’ve tried all the stops to wake up mid afternoon because my body’s all, “Nope!” lately, which kind of puts a damper on my productivity. I mean…a person can only drink so much coffee….
Trail Mix Granola Bars
Liven up snack time with this sweet and salty granola bar recipe that uses common ingredients you can often find in trail mix. There are certain foods I don’t mind eating over and over, such as my peanut butter banana oatmeal for breakfast and let’s say…cereal for dinner (I mean what?), but when it comes…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Remember that one time I talked about my wedding fitness plan? Well good news! I’ve stuck to it!…Ish! And by “ish” to mean “I want to confidently say I am, but I know that’s not true.” I’m basically like the anti-bride when it comes to getting in shape for my wedding. I was doing quite…
Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad with Homemade Dressing & Croutons
Make the classic Caesar salad from scratch by topping a bed of romaine lettuce with grilled chicken, homemade Greek yogurt Caesar dressing, and simple whole wheat croutons. When it comes to salads, Caesar is probably my favorite. However, I don’t make it very often because I never have the dressing on hand and also because…
How I’m Recovering from IT Band Syndrome
I’m not. Bahahaha. Ok, I kind of am. It has been a really weird process though. Since I’m always referencing my IT Band Syndrome, I figured I’d take some time to talk about what has worked and what hasn’t for me. The condition is extremely common among runners, and I know that I, personally, have…
A Few of My Favorite Things
So I’ve been talking about our fast-approaching wedding day, but I don’t think I’ve said anything about that little post-wedding detail known as the honeymoon. We decided awhile ago to go on a mini honeymoon right off the bat; then for our one year anniversary, we’d go on a more extravagant trip. Since we’re already…
My Favorite Pre-Race Ritual: Drinking Games
Even though I haven’t been able to run races for awhile because of my IT Band Syndrome, this post is one I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Since I feel like we’re in the heart of race season, I figured there’s no time but the present to share. We all have our rituals…

A Few of My Favorite Things
Aww yiss, we made it to Wednesday! Let’s pop some champagne because we’re halfway through the week! FYI, celebrating is always in style. Until further notice, celebrate everything. I’ve had a surprisingly productive week thus far, so I feel pretty good about my life. I’m busting through my to-do list like there’s no tomorrow; except…
My Virtual Wedding Shower
So as you may or may not know, I’m getting married soon. Like really soon. In a month soon. Due to the wedding being in my homeland of Illinois and us living in California, I haven’t been able to have a wedding shower. Part of me doesn’t care; the other part is a wee bit…
The New Diet I’m Starting
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I’m over here thinking…why does there need to be any other type of meal? Cereal…eggs…waffles…all of it. I could eat breakfast all day every day. That’s why I’m going to start following a new diet: breakfastism. For this diet, I will only be…
