Happy Birthday, Childhood Bestie! You’re an incredible leader, friend, and kitten mama! Regymen Grove opened! 45-minute summer HIIT workouts here I come … love it and hate it but mostly hate it. Girls catch up Monday night with a sister stop by! Wednesday open play volleyball and Oakmont Honeymoon Spirit Lounge with a friend of…
Before you go to Costa Rica, you might be a bit cynical like me, thinking pura vida is a marketing slogan or a thing tourists pick up. But it’s not. Somehow those two words actually, adequately represent the embodiment of a country’s ethos. You can use it for hello, goodbye, ok, thank you, you’re welcome,…
[author’s note: I am posting this unedited; written 4/23/21 // and then I never finished it because I flew to Costa Rica and tried to go off the grid as much as possible. But it’s so … happy! So I’m publishing it before publishing this week’s FGF.] I am starting this list on a feel…
Like I wrote last week, it’s been incredible to share my friends’ joys. A couple I love—and set up :::pats self on back:::—got married! And it was storybook perfect, and I’m only happy jealous I didn’t get to be there for it. My trip to the mountains was, indeed, good for my soul. But of…
To try to put into words what it feels like to be welcomed into a whole other family, as part of it, as if I was never not, is impossible. My brother, his fiancee, and I are a bit of a family unit already, and going to Rio and being welcomed into her family as…
Beach AND Mountains?! How have I not been here before? I could not be more grateful to be in Brazil right now with my brother and Teti, and I’ll share Rio pics next week, as this week there’s some reflecting to look back over and be grateful for… Piracanjuba Brazilian whey protein drink—I am not…
Workouts My plates are here to complement my barbell, and I couldn’t be happier… driveway workouts for the win! But now I might be getting addicted and need so many more things!! Mark your calendar for next Saturday’s Yoga in the Park with Shelby! To Do / Entertainment Saturday is National Public Lands Day! Find…
Things to do, check out, and buy this week! Workouts Simultaneously impressed and frustrated: this badass Brazilian surfed the biggest wave this year at 73.5 FEET TALL and it took the WSL 8 month to “verify” it … which they don’t do with men’s waves. WTF. To Do Listen to the new Sacks and the City…
Welp, alongside accidentally ghosting a really important email opportunity (it’s FINE), I also ghosted myself apparently in not publishing my feel good friday. Suffice it to say, the beach was fun… Remember when I lived at the beach? Sigh. Now I drive to it. But in the most hilarious Spirit-airlines inspired back seat, squished between…
Camping in the desert was not nearly as bad as expected… but the company was as great as expected! It felt like—and was—SO MUCH DRIVING, but we did some cool hiking, got to see some beautiful vistas, and getting out of cell service is just always good. I also finally got to see a bit…
