Last weekend, I sprained my foot by missing my last stair (going downstairs to feed Charm at 5:04 am…) and I have been in a boot ever since. I’ve also got crutches, or crunches as my dad and I used to call them, but I’ve been avoiding those like the plague. So this week’s planned […]

Summertime Sadness
No, this post is not about being sad in the summertime. The post title is inspired by this song which I love so much. But….I do get a little bit of summertime sadness, especially when summertime feels like it is coming to an end. Summer is my absolute favorite season, and I always get a […]
Recovery Corner
I’ve been working out a lot lately. And with lots of workouts come sore muscles. Add in travel and that’s a recipe for tight shoulders too. With my old horseback riding injuries it’s easy for my shoulders and neck to get all sorts of messed up and tight. I also fell down the stairs earlier […]
Radical Self-Love
Today we’re going to get a little deep. This topic has been on my mind for a while, and I’ve been wrestling with it for a while, and it seems ready to come to life so let’s see how this goes. First off, a bit of a story. And of course it has to do […]
Whole30: Week 3
Alternate Title: The Week it All Fell Apart This week was really tough. It started with vertigo so bad I couldn’t stand up or keep anything down and a debilitating migraine, just 24 hours before I had to head out on my first of a few weeks of consecutive travel. How I felt: Stressed. Sick. […]
What’s Up With…Today
Today was a rough day. It started out great, I woke up before my alarm and had time to make a leisurely breakfast, take a shower, and otherwise enjoy the morning. I figured I would clean up a little so I washed the dishes. I just got a new chef’s knife this weekend (since my […]
Listen To Your Body
I’m writing this post from my bed, wrapped in my big fuzzy pink robe, with my pup sleeping beside me. When I woke up today I had big aspirations to get a bunch of unpacking done, check off everything on my to do list at work, and even pick up some of the bits and […]
Stop Planning Around Your Problems
At this point, I’ve suffered from migraines for about 5 years. As someone who used to be able to do anything I wanted with no consequence, the drastic lifestyle changes I’ve undergone as a result of my migraines have been hard to handle at times. It took a lot of adjusting to learn how to […]
Why I Work Out
Also known as: Learning to Prioritize I love reading about health and wellness, so I have gobbled up every piece of workout advice that comes my way. I will try just about anything once (except for CrossFit…) and have found workouts that I love (and hate). I’ve read that you should work out 3-5 times […]
Seasons of Life
No, not that super catchy song from RENT, one of my favorite musicals/movies. I’m talking about how sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day to pack in everything I want to do. These days especially I’ve felt like I have to say no more than I can say yes, and that’s […]
