Goodbye, Ellie
It has come time to bid adieu to the subscription workout clothes service I have been with through many iterations. In my most recent post about Ellie, I compared the relationship to a love affair.

You guys. Some top-ranking keywords driving traffic to this site: leggins* and long dress leggings+corti what to wear with leggings in the summer *fact. no g YOU GUYS. First, don’t ever wear leggings and a long dress. That’s just stupid, unless it’s cold outside and no one will ever see the “leggins”. Second, don’t ever…
How Exactly Does One Write an Undie Review?
… without getting too personal? MeUndies recently sent me a sampler pack of briefs to try. I mean, when cute underwears arrive in the mail, you gotta try ’em, right? I’ll admit, I was dubious.
