Road Trip Stop #4, #5 & #6: South Dakota

July 8, 2016

One of my life goals is to spend time in every state. During this road trip I happily checked off a few new ones, South Dakota being the first one along our journey west. Our first stop into SD was in Sioux Falls. This was more of a stop-over than a destination but the town was pretty cute. We took a quick…

Road Trip Stop #3: Madison, Wisconsin

July 6, 2016

The next part of our journey brings us further into the midwest with a stop in Madison, Wisconsin. The last time I was in Madison was during college for Halloween, so you can imagine this stop was slightly more grown up, but I did stay with the same high school friend that I stayed with the first time! This time…

SKINS Compression Gear Review & Giveaway

June 30, 2016

Before each hike I made sure our backpacks were filled with enough goodness to keep us energized, whether our…

Road Trip Stop #2: Ann Arbor, Michigan

As a University of Michigan alum, I never pass up the chance to visit the campus. I was particularly excited to show Ollie the gorgeous campus, he seems to like it, don't you think? Don't step on the…

Staying Strong Through Life’s Chaos: #WhyWeSweat

June 23, 2016

As I begin to settle into life completely across the country from what I'm used to, everything seems to be confusing, different and just a bit stress-inducing. After what seemed like a small series of bad luck upon our arrival in San Francisco (flat tire, stolen phone, you get the picture), I'm finding balance through my daily workout routine. Working out…
