Today is International Women's Day! In honor of the day, I'm highlighting one of my favorite woman-owned activewear brands: Alala. Despite the raging popularity of women's active fashion, you'd be surprised how many activewear businesses cater to women but are still run by men. Alala was founded by Denise Lee, who still heads up the company. She's joined by a predominately female staff, ...

Nike Metcon 3 Review + Comparison to Metcon 2
I've been a fan of the Nike metcons since they first came out. They're an awesome hybrid shoe that function well for lifting as well as calisthenic and plyometric movements. Plus, Nike always brings the style factor. I have several pairs of previous generations of the metcons, but Nike recently came out with a totally revamped third generation that of course I had to test drive. I've been ...

Review: Sweaty Betty Zohra Long Sleeve

The new Zohra LS from Sweaty Betty immediately caught my eye. I'm a huge cobalt lover, plus the intricate lace design immediately called my ...
White Out: Snow Day Outfit
This past weekend was one for the books. Between Thursday morning and Tuesday morning, we got bombarded with about 36" of snow. This is the biggest storm I've ever seen, but it only placed 10th for the all-time biggest snowstorms around here. The nice thing about living at elevation (7000' above sea level for me) is that the extra-strong sun rays tend to melt the snow somewhat quickly. It's ...
