As the semester comes to a close, I wanted to take the time to say thank you to those who have kept up with my blog the past few months. Over the span of my final semester in college, I have grown immensely. If you would have told me last year that I would haveContinue reading “Thank You”

Happy Wednesday! If you’re like me, working out has probably fallen a little lower on your priority list since being put in quarantine. It’s really hard to feel motivated when you’re working out in the same space you’re used to lounging in (at least that’s the case for me anyway). HOWEVER This week I amContinue reading “Quarantine Workouts”

Authenticity is what I strive for in everything that I do. Because of this, I feel it’s necessary to let you in on my current mental, emotional, and physical state. This week has been hard. Every day I have woken up with an overwhelming feeling of defeat. I’m not sure where it stems from. ItContinue reading “I’m Having an Off-Week.”

This week, I want to let you guys in on my latest ~obsession~. Based on the title, you know it’s a smoothie!

I’ve been drinking thisContinue reading “My Perfect Smoothie”

I find myself meandering around the kitchen for severalContinue reading “Adjusting to Our New Quarantine Reality”

“The sand may brush off. The salt may wash away. The tans may fade. But the memories will last forever.”  Tonya Gunn I’m currently sitting on a plane on my way to Florida for Spring Break (yes, even during a national emergency) (yes, I’ve been checked for symptoms and have loads of hands sanitizer). ForContinue reading “A Spring Break Body is Overrated.”

“Instead of expecting perfection, we can try our best. And we can know behind a shadow of a doubt that our best is good enough.” Ashley Hetherington In a community where consistency and progress are at the forefront to success, the practice of grace, specifically to yourself, can be easily forgotten. I was frustrated withContinue reading “Sometimes You Have to Give Yourself Grace”

People tell me I look mean at the gym and the truth is, I completely understand why. I have, what I like to call, a “resting gym face“. Resting Gym Face [ res-ting-jim-feys ]: noun. 1. showing a lack of desire for social interaction and/or blank expression in the gym. Julianne’s definition In any otherContinue reading “Resting Gym Face”

“A healthy outside starts on the inside.” Robert Urich I have always had an emotional attachment to food. My close family and friends would tell you that I am the poster child for the term “hangry”. Whenever I’m hungry, my body and mind seemingly just shut down. I frequently describe this feeling as “withering away”.Continue reading “Eating the Right Way for You”
