75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Things are pretty tough out there now. If you haven't lost your job, had a loved one get sick or have been missing your friends and family yet I'm sure you're still worried about it. This weekend I want you to think about human nature, the stuff we've been through as a planet before and... Continue Reading →
Right now your life might be more edge than smooth lately and that’s totally understandable. This post is not really for my regular dedicated exerciser types. Ya’ll already know. But unless you’re spending about an hour at least three times a week you do have room for improvement. While I do love me some yoga... Continue Reading →
My heart goes out to the grad students out there that are now out of their labs or in from the field without warning. Had I not been able to get to the lab during my research it would have shut down my progress entirely and every continuing semester cost me about $3000 dollars. I... Continue Reading →

Home inspections aren’t worth the paper their written on. Post over, you can go pet your cat now. Well not really, nothing’s really that simple. I’ve had it happen to me, friends and family have had it happen to them and well you might have even had it happen to you. You get a home... Continue Reading →
Buckle up folks because I’m about to get all sorts of salty. I’m sick and tiered of seeing pictures of bubble baths, face masks, cheesecakes, glasses of wine and pretty nails with #selfcare. Those things are really just treats if I’m feeling gentle or hedonistic indulgences if I’m not. Self care has mostly morphed into... Continue Reading →
