August Favorites
I don’t know what it was about August, or maybe it’s because I’m hopped up on caffeine as I write this, but there are so many things I want to share in my roundup of favorites! A lot of the things I’ve been loving aren’t even new—I’ve just been revisiting old things that pretty much…
Getting Stronger Full Body Workout
The right set of exercises can completely transform a workout. If you look through all the circuits I’ve created over the years, you’ll notice I like to use a lot of the same exercises (squats, bicycle crunches, and pushups are some of my favorites).

What I Learned from Doing 30 Days of Yoga

Vegetable Spring Rolls with Spicy Ginger Peanut Sauce
Taste the rainbow with this colorful spring roll recipe loaded with a variety of fresh vegetables, all wrapped inside clear rice paper. Spring rolls are a food I don’t make very often, but when I come across my stash of rice paper (that I always forget I have), I try to stock up on fresh…
Good Vibes Workout Playlist
I’ve come to realize that I have an addiction to creating new music playlists. I think I’ve created about four more this week, alone—which makes my grand total on Spotify to over 50. separate. playlists. HOW ON EARTH…? I know. Music has this powerful way of affecting your mood, and I try to tap into…
