Abzzzzzz

Hey, you know what I’m grateful for? Abs. Abs are a THING for me—this long-standing goal, this pursuit of perfection, this symbol of a better life. It came to a frenetic finale as my quest for abs went public, with Cali and I proclaiming that we’d have abzzzzz for Puerto Rico. We procrastinated on the…

Wanderlust

If you know me pretty well, you may laugh: I didn’t used to think I had wanderlust. Despite studying abroad in Madrid and transferring schools, I didn’t really realize how much I loved change and loved to travel until … I set it as a goal for the last year to travel less, to enjoy…

Super Secret Sneak Preview: laV

Fabulous French bistro laV is opening today! I love, love, love the Aspen-Austin connection, which I wrote about here. One of my girlfriends was lucky enough to attend all of the pre-pre opening festivities a couple of weeks ago. She scoped it out for all of us, and had this to report: “The ambiance is…

You Run Everything Through Your Body

Foot, hamstring, SI joint, neck. Minor/nagging injuries to temporarily life-changing. Ground up in chronological order. I started posting my workouts on the blog as posts, which means they get sent to email subscribers every time I do (sorry about filling your inboxes).
