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…
A couple of weeks ago, I attended BlogHer in New York City. It was a fun opportunity to get out of the area for a couple of days, connect with other content creators and influencers, and see some friends. While I wish I could have gotten a bit more from the conference itself, I did…
Top: Cycled, Leggings: Fabletics, Shoes: TIEM Slipstreams Recently, I took a class at Vortex Indoor Cycling in Tysons Corner, Virginia.
