As you've probably noticed, things are looking a little different around here. I've been working behind the scenes for months on both planning and executing this whole redesign process, and it's finally here! Credit goes to Chaitra from PinkPot Design Studio, who I've been working with throughout this process. She used her design and development expertise to come up with the concepts and ...
Alala Summer Palm Review: Woven Shorts + Captain Crops
Lately, I've been loving the look of crisp white activewear. Yes, white is always dangerous to wear, especially for working out, but...that's what Oxiclean is for! :) I spotted this new white print from Alala, and since it's one of my favorite colors right now and one of my favorite brands, I had to give them a try. I got the woven shorts and captain crops. Note that in some places these are ...

Although I'm sure there will be more great things as summer wears ...
Review: Vimmia Speckle Splice Capri
My reversible Vimmia speed tights in python from last season were one of my favorite purchases. They're a great quality fabric and the style fits me like a glove.

But since the fabric on my other pair is quite thick, I decided to try out the splice capris in the same print instead in hopes it would be more ...
What to Put on Your Summer To-Do List
It's June (already!) and that means summer is all-but-officially here. When this time of year rolls around, I always feel invigorated to be more active, eat more healthily, and get more done. It's the best time of year to harness that energy and make some awesome things happen. As part of that, I wanted to take the ideas in my head and organize them into a summer to-do list. Why you should ...
Hiking the Grand Canyon: Rim-to-River Round 2
Last May, I set out to cross off a bucket list item of mine: hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back in one day. There's a reason it's called the GRAND Canyon: it's huge. Hiking all the way in and out is no small feat. The typical rim-to-river route covers over 17 miles, including 4780 ft down and 4380 ft up. Most one-day hikes are nowhere near this intense. Instead, most people ...
