After a relatively smooth 3.5 hour drive to New Hampshire, we made it to the Benson beach house! For the car ride, I packed a bunch of snacks that were perfectly weighed and measured according to my macros (I can go into more detail about flexible dieting in another post), but all of that has…
It’s just about 10pm now, and I just finished up packing. I was pretty exhausted after spending about 2 hours at Crossfit after work, then coming home to make dinner. I also did a little kitchen cleaning, because I hate coming home to a dirty apartment after a trip. I was also procrastinating, because I…
Let me preface this post by saying that I am in no way a packing master. The way I do things may not be the most efficient or space saving, but it’s worked pretty well for me in the past. I’ll give you the lowdown on what I’m packing for my week long getaway, and…
Just wanted to check in for a brief update on the vintage mom jeans I acquired: I really tried to make those jeans work. I put them on almost every day since I got them, and stood in the mirror squinting to try to make them look better. Unfortunately, they looked frumpy from all angles.…

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about personal style. It really is a wonderful thing. My own personal style is a way for me to express myself, and it has a big part in promoting my own self-confidence and pride. It’s just one of those feel-good things in my life. I’ve noticed that my style…
As a continued introduction to my blog, I wanted to chat a little about my thoughts on shopping, and the ways in which I try to stay on trend without breaking the bank. I’m your average twenty-something gal, working her 9-5, hitting the gym hard after work, and trying to maintain a healthy diet. In…
Shopping has always been my sport of choice [don’t worry, Crossfit, you’re a close second]. When you shop on a budget (like me), it’s incredibly satisfying to score a deal on an outfit that you’ve been longing for, or know for a fact is selling for way more elsewhere. If I’m on the lookout for…
