Current State: March

.Reading time 3 minutes.

I haven’t been posting like I originally anticipated and hoped, because this last semester of mine has been CRAZY! With the passing of each day, I am amazed (and also scared) of how fast each day flies by, mostly because I still have so much to get done before graduation. Agh! Read More

Let’s Talk About Tacos

.Reading time 1 minute.

I enjoy Chipotle every now and then, but most of the time, I prefer to make my own tacos/ burritos- that way you know how fresh the ingredients are, and you have complete control over everything that gets put in and left out. Plus, once you purchase all the ingredients, you have enough left over to make the meal again, sometimes several times over! Totally worth it. Read More

Leg Day Motivation

.Reading time 1 minute.

It’s Tuesday, which for me means leg day- with extra emphasis on building the glutes. If you’re like me, sometimes leg day can be draining, just thinking about your workout. Extra motivation is always helpful on these kinda days, which is why I decided to share this video by IAMBUILT. Read More

.Reading time 3 minutes.

For a couple months, I was struggling with getting a good nights sleep. I would find my mind racing at night, reminding me of all the upcoming things that I needed to get done. My body would be tired, yearning for sleep, but my mind would be going a million miles an hour. When I finally would fall asleep, I would wake up every couple of hours, look at the clock, get frustrated, roll over, fall back asleep again, then wake up again shortly and repeat this cycle many times throughout the night.

Why So Serious?

.Reading time 2 minutes.

This post has nothing to do with fitness. It does however have to do with my growing concern for society.

We are more connected than ever. Have more resources and technology at our disposal than ever- yet you look around you and many people have this serious, somber look on their face. Read More

Too Much Caffeine = Thinning Hair?

.Reading time 3 minutes.

I am guilty of consuming too much caffeine, and have a theory based on my personal experience that too much caffeine can potentially lead to hair thinning.

For the past three years, I have been drinking coffee in the morning, pre-workout in the afternoon/evening, and occasionally another cup of coffee or an energy drink to power me through assignments or work. Yikes. Read More
