This post contains a list of the products and items I’ve purchased from Under Armour for my personal workouts and everyday wear. Small caveat, at present, I work for the company so while I receive an employee discount on the items chose to I purchase, since I love the brand, I also love sharing when… Read More
As I browse the online deals this Cyber Monday, I have a song stuck in my head: “last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears, I’ll give it to someone special…” In my head, I’m mentally swapping out the word… Read More

There are times when I start to mentally psych myself out of executing a lift when I know how much weight is on the bar because I… Read More
I happened to be listening to the radio while getting ready this morning and I heard a trailer for the Martin Scorsese film ‘Silence’. At the very end, there was this sound bite from Liam Neeson where his character says, “Pray. But with your eyes open.” That stopped me, mid mascara swipe. I thought, “that’s… Read More
