It is not an exaggeration to say that our bear expedition to Lake Clark National Park was one of the single best days traveling I have ever had. This post is part of a series on travel to Alaska. You can read my primary post with our full itinerary here. During the first few days of our trip, gloomy weather had won out over sunny skies. When this day came around, our luck finally ...

Tracksmith Harrier Long Sleeve Review
Apparently, nothing can stop my love for Tracksmith running tops. I have been wearing and loving Tracksmith's harrier tank for summer running for years (previously reviewed here). When they dreamed up a long sleeve harrier, I knew I had to try it. I now have this shirt in three colors, so you can probably see where this review is going. The harrier previously made a cameo ...

Athleta Stripe Salutation Tight Review
Striped leggings are a staple of my active wardrobe--I'm always willing to add another pair to my collection. I had tried two pairs of Athleta's powervita tights before and neither worked, but these stripe salutations lured me in for another try. This pair finally makes it clear what all the fuss is about! A lot of people have said that powervita is similar to lululemon's nulu, except ...
