What Are You Waiting for? If you were looking for a sign, let this be it.

October 23, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the night to end itself? For the light of day to creep into your sleepy eyes and bring you back to life? Are you waiting for a gust of wind to remove the covers, for the birds to dress you like Cinderella and your fairy godmother […]

More than just a shell–the truest beauty could still be seen even if everyone was blind

July 7, 2014.Reading time 6 minutes.

I wish that I could help people realize how much more there is to life than looking a certain way. I’m writing this piece with hesitant fingers because I know what’s to follow. I know that a lot of people I don’t know (and, sadly, even more people I do) will read this in disgust […]

Flipping the Birdie to Self-Loathing

September 12, 2013.Reading time 5 minutes.

There I was, halfway through a 90-minute hot yoga class, panting like a (downward) dog, cursing my (aunt) flow, while practicing my Vinyasa Flow, and sweating my (figurative) balls off. For some odd reason, the teacher decided to worship birds today. We chirped and pecked our way through pigeons, eagles and swans. We performed variations […]

I just wanted to take a minute to share a short and sweet reminder of something that I constantly forget. I was recently re-reminded (is that even a word?) of this lesson in a meditation class I took while I was visiting Boise a couple weeks ago. This class involved a series of mini-mediations […]

What Nike meant to say was “Just DON’T do it.” (sometimes)…

March 22, 2013.Reading time 7 minutes.

The past few months have taught me a very valuable lesson. A lesson that I am still working on mastering fully, but a lesson that I wanted to share with you nonetheless. This lesson has been in patience. As Americans, we learn day-in and day-out that we are living in a fast paced world and […]

[UN]realistic expectations

March 9, 2013.Reading time 12 minutes.

I have a rant that has been brewing for some time now. And I know that I am certainly not the only one who has these thoughts and feelings, but I am not bound into any sort of contract or agreement that would limit my expression of these feelings (ps. any sponsorship inquiries or publicity […]

SHOULDERS//CHEST workout

February 19, 2013.Reading time 3 minutes.

I’ve found myself an awesome workout partner here in Arizona. He is in the physical therapy program at my school and we started lifting together a couple months ago. Everyone has their own styles and preferences when it comes to working out, and I tend to go back-and-forth between lifting with someone and lifting alone. […]

LEGS//BOOTY workout

February 16, 2013.Reading time 1 minute.

I had an awesome workout today! I thought I would share in case any of you want to test it out or change it up. I warmed up with 15 minutes of HIIT on the stairmill (1 minute level 9, 1 minute level 12 until 15 minutes reached) *TIP for stairmill–don’t hold onto the side […]
