On Having a Sprained Foot & “Taking it Easy” at Blend

As you all may remember, a little over two weeks ago I rolled my ankle on an acorn/pinecone/who knows what on my long run. Pretty much we all can agree it was probably not my smartest choice to continue running another 5 miles after I pulled something in my foot on mile 3. I was … Continue reading →

Flashback Friday — 4 Years After Graduation

Four years ago today, I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with BA’s in Global Studies and French. I’ve been out of college for just as long as I was in it. That’s a strange feeling. I didn’t really know what laid ahead for me on June 13th, 2010. I have always had a lot of interests…maybe … Continue reading →

Blend Retreat 2014: What Healthy Living Bloggers Eat on Vacation

I’m leaving today to spend the evening in Salt Lake City with a few lovely ladies — Becky of course who I have already traveled with several times, as well as some new faces: Julie, Julie, Kim, Amanda, Lindsay, Alex and Mollie. Then tomorrow, we … Continue reading →

Weekend in Photos

Welp, another summer weekend come and gone! Sorry for the brief hiatus. I was on quite the emotional roller coaster last week, given last Friday’s events at my alma mater, UC Santa Barbara. I’m really glad I made the decision to invite a few other Sacramento-area UCSB alumnae to join me at a candlelight vigil at UC … Continue reading →

UC Santa Barbara: My Second Home

The four years I attended college at UC Santa Barbara were the best of my life. I can’t tell you on how many different occasions I sat on the patio at the dining commons with friends, or walked the 5 minutes it took to get to the beach, or biked through Isla Vista, looked around, … Continue reading →
