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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Girl’s Weekend in Austin

A deferred race entry, cancelled flight, unusually rainy weather, and a big loss for the Brewers… this trip was a perfect example of how you have a choice to make when things go wrong. You can either complain about it and focus on the negative or make the most of your situation. Despite all the […]

SoCal Travel Guide

I am writing this while sipping on an almond milk flat white at the Aussie-owned cafe, The Aussie Bean. I will unashamedly admit that this is my second time here in three days. Even though the coffee is great, Santa Barbara and Anaheim have a lot more to offer than just great coffee! I flew […]

You Had Me at Aloha

Mo and I may be back from our five day getaway to Maui, but let me just say that I am still on that “island time.” It was our first trip to Hawaii and it won’t be our last! Living on the west coast makes the flight just a short 4-5 hours away. Before we […]

The Road to Hana

Luckily, it wasn’t until after we did the Road to Hana that I found out this drive is also termed “The Divorce Highway…” I can see why! The Road to Hana is a long, winding road that takes gives you the full Maui experience as you drive all the way across to east side of the […]
