I’m not the type of girl who can run without music. Tragedy is when I am without headphones or have a dead battery and therefore have to complete a run or workout without a soundtrack. The majority of my run playlists are filled with hip-hop. In future posts I will get deeper into BPMs and […]
If you know you, you know I am an anxious girl. Social situations, pressure at work, and general over analysis of my everyday interactions with the world are some of my triggers. That being said, I do not feel that I have an actual anxiety disorder, well at least not one that prevents me from […]
Yesterday I participated in the 15th Rockets Run 5k in downtown Houston. I read about the event possibly on Facebook first, in early October and became interested. I did not actually sign up at that time though. I pretty much forgot all about it until Thursday 11/3 when I was looking at the Houston Running […]

Raise your hand if you love avocados….. Raise your hand if you love toast….. If you have two hands up then you mostly likely enjoy avocado toast. Nom! Well how about an avocado toast “upgrade” by making Caprese avocado toast?! Are you in? That’s what I thought, lets go! This will make two slices of […]
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything.” We’ve all heard that one. But what if you have something seemingly nice to say? What if you think what you’re saying is “not mean” so you go ahead and say it? Well that comment can cost a lot. And those types of comments […]
I’m a big fan of dessert, better choices, and protein. When all of those things come together into a beautiful harmony, well it makes for one happy chica.
