When I finally _____ I’m going to ______
After 8 months (okay, on Sunday it will be 8 months) of living with the majority of my stuff in a storage unit in Connecticut, this week I will finally have a place of my own again. Today is technically my first day paying rent since December (so I'm not as excited about this part …
Deflating defeat and August Goals
It's the end of the month, which means its time to take a quick look back, and set intentions for the next month. July was a crazy month. I became a temporary, permanent resident of Philadelphia.

Product Review: Barre bar
I've been testing new bars that can be pre-run snacks, or on the go snacks since I travel so much. I've seen Barre at my local Whole Foods for the last month, and finally decided to give it a go. The pretty pink packaging and ballerina on the front definitely appealed to my inner dancer …
