Top 8 of 28

Last year on my birthday, I was dancing the night away to DJ Pauly D (“cabs are here!”) with 15-20 of my closest friends. This year, however, my birthday “turnt” DOWN about 10 notches… but I’m surprisingly ok with that! Don’t get me wrong, I cannot wait until I can see and hug and go […]

Spring Cleaning / Clean Eating Challenge

The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer, which can only mean one thing. Spring has sprung! With the turn of the season, comes a little something called “Spring Fever.” This non-medical condition describes the distraction, restlessness, and excitement that we feel at the start of spring. Can you relate? That’s why […]

Europe Part 1: Amsterdam

Mo and I were had made plans to take a trip to Sydney and New Zealand this past January. Those plans were abruptly cancelled due to my injury just 8 days before we were supposed to leave. We were fortunately able to postpone the trip to next January without too much trouble, but to say […]

March Highlights

And just like that, we are three months into 2019! It has been one wild roller coaster of a year for me, but I can honestly say that despite the challenges, there has been SO MUCH GOOD. And we’re only three months in! March was full of fun and exciting events. Here is a glimpse […]

Embracing My Broken Body

I was finally at a place where I felt happy with my weight and my appearance. Even though I’ve never been extremely unhappy with how I looked, to be honest I never really felt “content.” I know it might sound crazy, I mean how can you not be content with your body after running a […]

Vino and Mendocino

Shortly after rupturing my Achilles and having surgery last month, Mo and I decided to post-pone our trip to Australia. We were bummed out about that, so we decided we would take advantage of having a long weekend and plan a relaxing getaway. After considering a few options, we decided on Mendocino, a small town […]

2018 Race Recaps

In an ideal world, I would have a recap for every race I run. Maybe that can be one of my New Year’s Resolutions… because it definitely didn’t happen this year! After running two marathons in 2017, I decided that 2018 would be the year of NO marathons, and instead focus on shorter races and […]

F45 8-Week Challenge Recap and Results

F45 – have you heard of it? Unless you’re living in Australia where it originated, there’s a good chance you haven’t. Up until this summer, I hadn’t either. But when a former coworker of mine told me he would be co-managing a location in Sunnyvale, I knew it was something I had to try out. […]

Turning 27 in Yosemite

This time of year is all about the holidays and traveling for Thanksgiving and Christmas. As you start thinking past winter and onto spring trips, I want you to keep this post in mind, especially since you’ll want to book accommodations in advance! Spring is a great time to go to Yosemite – the waterfalls […]

LA, Hollywood, and How I Really Feel about Disney

After living in the Bay Area for a year and a half now, Mo and I decided to embrace our inner child, and book a trip to Disneyland. I have distant memories of Disney World in Florida as a 1st grader (when I was absolutely terrified of every ride), and 20 years later, here we […]
