When Lucky Vitamin introduces new brands to the site, they offer them at a discount—which I think is smart, so you take less of a risk when trying something new, right? So their NEW section is one place I always look, so on my most recent online-shopping trip, I laughed aloud (alone) when I had…
My friend Matt nerds out over gear shopping. I wish I was like Matt, because I want the best deal on the best camp stove but I do not have the patience for comparing weights down to the ounce and features down to the speed to boil … for my camp stove, do I want…
This month, it’s my terrible ankle mobility and tight calves causing hamstring and achilles pain. Last month it was my SI joint near-constantly hurting. As the super active people I’m sure all readers of this blog are, we can always use rehab and exercises that don’t take forever and actually work. Enter Smashwerx. Dr. Trevor…
This happened, at work: “pesky, hard to get rid of, grew too tall once and now some people like them for no reason” People are 100% what make work fun.
From girls going on boys weekend to crashing a sabbatical to staying home and doing nothing, my Memorial Day weekend 2017 plans have been in flux for weeks—and they still are.

A frantic bike ride home from work ensued, followed by an adventure through the streets of Santa Ana with a new companion…
I’ve had ridiculously bad bike luck of late. I’m sure y’all remember Snaccident 2014, in which I crashed my (mom’s) red Gary Fisher into a parked car due to snacking while biking, ripping open my knee and busting their headlight. Cool. So to replace said red Gary Fisher, I headed to Surf City Cyclery, and…
Sometimes eating food at work at my desk send my stomach into a Nickelodeon GUTS-esque belly adventure. Am I going to have bathroom runs all afternoon? Hold in some gas and get bloated? I’ve been pounding kombuchas for months and popping probiotics and it helps but hasn’t altogether alleviated the belly pain. When a new…
It’s almost 5 months into 2017, a year I ambitiously declared the year of clarity and then set to work on while also crossing all my fingers and toes hoping it would come true … this week, a few things crystallized. I’m transitioning from my awesome, badass job that I love to an entirely new-and-different…
