I’ve done a little bit of reading on Piri Piri (or peri-peri — depends on who you’re talking to) peppers. I like spice in my food, but not enough that the food loses its flavor. Sometimes a dash of cayenne pepper can enhance the flavor of a dish, without making it spicy. Some people believe…
Well, this was the first full week of the new year. How did I do? Sunday – I was recovering from a volleyball tournament, and ended up having to work on my feet for 5 Sherlock 🙁 I cooked a delicious and healthy dinner, which I discussed here. I walked a lot of steps because…
Before I really start writing this post, I cannot emphasize enough how much I love kickboxing. It is so fun, and I have had the same instructor for years, despite having switched gym. IT IS AMAZING! When I got home from work, I was determined to go to the gym, maybe do some Zumba, do…
I finally did it! I completed a Tabata workout routine AND I used the treadmill to its full potential for the first time ever! Many thanks to the Grooveshark Electronica station for getting me through it. I used the Tabata Treadmill Workout that I found over on Carrots ‘N’ Cake, and it kicked my butt! I…
I sort of hate all of the compilations that come out at the end of the year (except that news bloopers of 2013 video. It’s awesome. Check it out if you haven’t already. If you have, watch it again!) But, ya know, I started thinking about it, and I realized that it would be kind…
Sorry to be reviewing so many Mizuno volleyball products these days! I am finally getting around to writing reviews on all of the great stuff I purchased from Hock Sports. Volleyball trends come and go, but one that I will probably not ever get past is the long socks. I love wearing long socks to…
Volleyball players are often torn on whether or not to wear knee pads. When I was younger, there were phases where it was “cool” or “uncool” to wear them. Do you get the “turtle shells?” How about the singular, smooth pads? The short kind or the long kind? Now that I’m older, and my knees…
This week, while reading Blogilates (seriously, it’s so encouraging and adorable — I highly recommend it), I learned that Cassey Ho, the blog’s proprietor, will be conducting a DietBet for January. It’s pretty straightforward: Pay $30, lose 4% of your body weight, and get your $30 back + your share of what’s leftover in the pot…
Personally, I’m not a fan of sports bras that require too much fuss. The Ta Ta Tamer is super snug, which is great, but also super complicated. It has three hooks on the back, which seems to be a bit much. Honestly, two hooks can be too complicated at times, especially when you’re rushing to…
Sometimes I wonder if anybody is reading my blog. I mean, really reading my blog. I can see all of the visitor counts (and the stats are starting to look awesome), but I can never truly tell if anyone is reading it. Today is the day after Christmas (also known as Boxing Day in many other parts…
