There is no female celebrity I love more than Blake Lively. I loved her in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I love her in Gossip Girl (my love for GG is well-documented on this blog), I love that Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld both love her. I love her blonde hair, her fashion sense, and…
T-spiration: Work Harder. Right Here. Right Now.
I LOVE these designs. Inspirational messages printed backward so you can read them in the mirror. From I Am Athletics. My only gripe? This is my fave, why’s it only on a men’s tee?? … I guess I can order it and wear anyway, so it’s kinda unisex. But still. I need a serious budget…
Row, row, row your boat
I often scour CrossFit box websites to find good workouts, but rarely do I read about a workout another gym did and think to myself, oooh, I’ve gotta tackle that one. It’s usually tough workouts I wouldn’t program for myself, or creative combos I hadn’t thought of. Basically, I’m not emailing myself 21-15-9 workouts. Programming for…
Remember when they said Real World Austin was too drunk?
Yeah, remember that they cut the Real World Austin season short because all the housemates did was get drunk on 6th street, hook up, and start fights? Does that bear any resemblance to any show you can think of on MTV right now? Perhaps one that’s spawned pop “legends,” who do such noble things as…
Dance in the Rain
I’ve alluded to my personal challenges and stress of late. Similar to making lemonade of lemons, I’m dancing in the rain while I figure out where the hell my umbrella is … or where I’m seeking shelter. From garage door at the Aspen CrossFit gym.
Town 2 Town Throwdown
When I first visited Aspen over a year ago (in February), there was Roaring Fork CrossFit. Now, there’s Roaring Fork, Aspen, Bonedale, Glenwood Springs, and New Castle—OH, and my new BlissFits Boot Camp. The valley has exploded with CrossFit! The gyms all get together once a month to host a competition with 2 WODs. This…
Austin: Sophomore Fashion Show
My sophomore year in college, I might have been considered a bit of an overachiever. But the email I got recently might top even myself: It was from a sophomore at Texas State who is hosting a fashion show. For her line. That she sells on her website BeAllos.com. And the show benefits Love Is Respect!, a foundation…
Your Coffee Life is About to Change: Chameleon Cold Brew
Yes, this little bottle will change your life. Are you hip to the cold-brew trend? Cold brewing is all the rage in coffee circles, namely because it reportedly yields a cleaner taste with less acidity and less heartburn- and stomach-injury-inducing qualities than hot brews. Some say the antioxidants are much better, others aren’t so sure.…
BlissFits Boot Camp!
I’ve told everyone else over every medium I have about it, I can’t believe I haven’t told you guys about my new boot camp! I’m coaching a BlissFits Aspen boot camp in Nature’s Garage Gym at Rio Grande Park in Aspen. I started Monday with 5 people in the rain, had 3 yesterday in the…
10 Minutes on the Vila Acupressure Mat
You know those days you’re so tired or stressed or have tension headaches or are just so sore from yesterday’s workout that you can hardly fathom getting off the couch? Or when you see ads for massages and think, I wish I had time for that, instead of how nice! When Vila Mat announced its…
