I hesitate to even label this a Compliment or Insult but it’s kinda too funny to skip … We know I’m both an avid lifter and yogi, and Shannon is one of my favorite yoga teachers, and I’m at her Tuesday/Thursday 7:15am class on a more regular schedule than anything else in my life—except maybe…
Teri Lynn, my fabulous massage therapist in OC, located in Huntington Beach but close enough to Newport Beach. I see her every 2 weeks, and for all the crazy sports and activities I do, she keeps me happy, healthy, and injury-free (knock on wood). You might recognize a photo or two of your favorite (faux)…
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…
VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
It’s no secret I love me some BCAAs and electrolytes. These are my new faves. Enough my faves that I was walking out the door when they arrived on my doorstep via LuckyVitamin.com and I turned around and swapped Nalgenes in order to take my Mestrength powder-filled Nalgene to the gym instead of the previous…
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…
Cuz you most definitely need a little om in your life before/after all that yum. Check out donation yoga all over O.C. at one of their ten CorePower locations, list here. Say you’re in Austin, they got you too. Houston, where I’ll be, has no CorePowers. I’ll be looking for a class (and update here…
If you can’t Thug Yoga in Aspen, then you gotta do other yoga in O.C. As Jessica Biel once said in response to how she maintained her banging bod, “I do a lot of yoga.” So like any good faux-celeb… I do a lot of yoga. Remember when I finally found Ekam Yoga? There, I…
Hiiiiii GracedByGrit! This Friday and Saturday, come join the makers of my favorite athletic/wear-for-everything tank tops for a lil pop-up shop at 15th Street Surf + Supply. You’ll be able to try things on, which I think is important in this brand because I’ve flitted between all the sizes depending on how I want them…
I am grateful for my yoga practice, and how it centers/grounds me. I spend a ton of my time playing a lot of sports, CrossFitting with friends, hitting the gym solo, and doing yoga. I LOVE all of these things. But sometimes, I start to wrap too much of my identity in these things and when…
