This post is sponsored by U by Kotex but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Last week, I volunteered with an absolutely incredible organization: The DC Diaper Bank – an organization that provides diapers, feminine products, and other personal hygiene items to families in need. They are part of the Alliance for…
That face is the face of a woman who got her butt kicked. (Okay, that’s obviously a dramatic overreaction, but you get the idea.) I have taken the Luscious Legs and Arm Candy, Kettlebell Chicks, and Kettlebell 101 Swing Series classes taught by the phenomenal Anabell Browne. I have sweated my face off, I have nearly barfed…
In this new series, I will be posting quick reviews about different products I receive. I get a TON of free samples and full-size snack items to try. I give some away, share some with my fiance, and keep some for myself, but it seems like I never really tell you guys about them on…
Okay, so I made this acai bowl yesterday that was delicious and super easy! I’ll reason with you guys: I almost never measure my ingredients when I’m creating a recipe. Sometimes I do, but a lot of it is trial and error, or just good old eyeballing. I use frozen acai puree from Trader Joe’s…

We’re hosting a free spin class at Vortex Cycle in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia. The class will be a 45-minute ride, with high-energy tunes and a great atmosphere. Following the class, we will…
A few months back, I attended the Discover Arlington Fitness + Wellness Festival. I got to try a bunch of new (to me) workouts, and I also got to sample some new food, beverages, and beauty products. One of the beauty tables that kept my attention: All That Yazz! I am absolutely in love with…
Last week, I took my first class with Cornell McClellan – personal trainer to the Obamas for over two decades – at Fitness Snob Studio. I wanted to learn more about his Immortal Body Workout, as well as some exercises and tips to help me get closer to those coveted Michelle Obama Arms. The class…
This post is sponsored by Vega, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own based on my truthful experience. I am not a morning person. At. All. But I am a night person, which means that a lot of the workouts I do are in the evening/nighttime, which is not necessarily ideal for…
With some challenges, I look them directly in the eyes and say, “challenge accepted!” With others, I raise my eyebrows, cock my head to the side, blink very slowly and dramatically (think Titus Andromedon), and say, “you gone do what to who?” When I first hear about the Sparkling Detox Challenge, my reaction was initially…
It has been super hot and super rainy in Maryland for the last month. Like, super hot and super rainy. And, if you’ve been following along with my social media posts, you know that I’ve been working really hard at my fitness these days. Like super hard! I now have almost double-digit indoor cycling classes…
