So there’s this pretty generally accepted notion that if you’re on vacation, you can’t eat healthy. While it’s definitely harder to watch what you eat – and much easier to overeat – when traveling, I don’t think it’s impossible to come back from a trip weighing the same you did when you left.

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
Hey friends! I survived my week! I am currently writing this post on Thursday night, the first night this week that I didn’t work overtime and/or didn’t have some kind of function to attend after work. PHEW.

I mentioned it in passing in my “If We Were Having Coffee…” post. Just like in February, I was really close to breaking even … Continue reading
Today, I’m linking up with my favorite lady Becky (who I get to see in 1 month minus 1 day at BLEND!!!) for Treat Yourself Tuesday. As Becky puts it, Treat Yourself Tuesday is a way to reflect on the ways you’ve treated yourself lately: “Do whatever feels best for you. Do something that will … Continue reading
I feel like I say this every time I’ve written lately, but life has gotten really busy. I thought that cutting out a night of dodgeball each week would free up extra time in my weeknights, but in true Katie fashion, I’ve really just used it as an excuse to take on more non-dodgeball activities. … Continue reading
