Starting Your Practice on International Day of Yoga

June 20, 2019

By now you guys know how to tell what’s playing on repeat in my brain. There’s an instagram photo about it. Then a blog post. Then more instagram photos. And then probably more instagram photos. And then… you get the idea. Right now, that is yoga. One of the things I talked about in my anti-New-Year-resolution post a few months ago was committing to improving my health. It’s a ‘resolution’ I’ve made pretty much every year since I was about 25 and ...

40 Before 40 Progress: Bloomington, IN

June 10, 2019

Just under a year ago – and just a few months before my 35th birthday – I realized I only have a few years to go before I hit that black balloon holiday. (Which is entirely fine with me, btw. Black is my favorite color.) I’m all about experiences, so I compiled my list of things I’d like to do by the time I turn 40. This past Memorial Day weekend I got to check a couple of those off! One of the most ambitious projects on that list (could be a bucket list on its own, ...

Five Ways to Kill Houseplants

March 30, 2019

For years I was convinced I was bad at plants – just 100% black thumb. The african violets in my dorm room died a slow, painful death. None of the cuttings from my mom’s christmas cactus made it for more than a few weeks. My miniature cactus withered and died. The problem? I didn’t realize different kinds of plants need different care. Also, laziness. Fast forward a few years. I have a good friend who’s a total plant lady. Really, check out her instagram for ...

The Yoga Mat to Buy (and ones you shouldn’t)

March 19, 2019

Remember earlier this year when I talked about getting serious with taking charge of my health? Well, so far it’s working! I put down the sweets (mostly) and slowly ramped up the exercise to where I’m getting some sort of workout most days. I have to say, it’s been an interesting journey – I’m a little surprised out how much my routine has evolved just over the past couple months. I started out on the elliptical a few times a week for the low impact, but ...
