Squat: 3×5 @ 265 lbs today. The last time I tested my 1RM, it was 275#. I can’t wait to re-test, but first, I’m angling to get that weight for a 3×5. Thanks CrossFitFootball/Power Athlete.

Party | Feel Good Friday 041015
So grateful for friends! The Orange Coast mag best restaurants party (click here for the list) was another smashing success, and I was all too happy to share the fun with a great group of friends. I remember a mere two years ago, I had only lived here for two months and I didn’t have…
Wavy Hair
“I love your wavy hair!” exclaimed a friend over dinner. I launched into how a coworker had bought me this discontinued stuff that was amazing and I was so sad it was discontinued but my coworker thought it looked so good on me that she gave me two bottles from her stash when this friend…
Portland | Feel Good Friday 040315
Do I even need to write anything? This picture says it all. These amazing chicks and I hung out for five days, had an awesome time, laughed, giggled, drove—so much driving, hiked, walked, drank wine, shared clothes, ate takeout, bought friendship bracelets, watched basketball and Neil Degrasse Tyson, shopped, and consumed absurd amounts of cheese.…
Retreat to Aspen Like a Celeb
Since, you know, celebs go there all the time anyway. And when they’re there, they ski and yoga. Hell, that’s all I did when I lived there too. BUT, April 17-20, my skiing spirit animal (and yes, I know she’s a snowboarder but I don’t care because it was her [line for Oakley] ski/snowboard pants…
Breaks | Feel Good Friday 032715
Heh. I’m writing this too early on Monday morning as a Feel Good Friday because I was indeed taking a break—a much-needed girls weekend in Portland, Oregon. My bestie/facebook girlfriend picked me up around noon on Wednesday after a painless flight before which a stranger bought me a coffee because “you’re hot.” By Thursday morning as…
I Play Like a Girl
If there is a poster child for #IPlayLikeAGirl, it is me. Here’s me, just making history like a faux celeb trying out for a football team. I’ve actually made this point a bunch of times in conversation: I don’t want to play football like a man, I want to play football like a woman. It’s…
Snag Some of My Fave Workout Clothes—But at 50% Off
I cannot figure out how to make that headline seem less spammy. But here’s the truth: despite my well-documented tumultuous relationship with workout brand Ellie (here, here, here), the actual clothes remain standbys in my rotation. I’ve even given pieces as gifts (Go With the Flow), and there are still pieces I covet but haven’t ordered. They…
Happiness | Feel Good Friday 032015
Today is International Day of Happiness—and it’s weird for me to not be promoting that through DailyHap. So I write about it here instead, for Feel Good Friday! There’s an article I wrote pretty early on in DailyHap’s existence called Always Happy. There’s this myth that some people (me) are always happy, and that’s just not…
Glam TP, Yep, as in Toilet Paper
Y’all, this is toilet paper. I would pin this convertible!! dress in a heartbeat, not knowing it was made from TP. This is 2014’s winner, Susan Brennan, who made this insane dress out of toilet paper. Toilet paper!! Think you can top this masterpiece? You can win $10K and see your dress made into a…
