Fitness is not only about the physical aspects of actually “working out”, but nowadays, you have to look good while sweating. Athleisure wear is making its way out of the gym and into daily life. Women are wearing leggings and yoga pants for everything from shopping, lunching, and partying with friends, to date night with the boyfriend or a girl’s night out. As much as I love the idea of athleisure wear, I’m looking for comfortable and stylish workout clothes, like the ones at Fabletics. Here’s what I’m wishing for right now… Winn Mid Rise Short Boyshorts Olive Capri Salar Leggings […]
Sunday Inspiration: Find Three Hobbies
Everyone has a hobby or two, or three, or six. I think it’s important to have hobbies, and I think that finding hobbies that you love should also challenge you to better yourself.

In my sophomore class photo, my hair was orange. My senior year in […]

I am always in a great mood when I arrive at the office, because I believe that your attitude when you walk through the door will set the tone for the day. Like the quote says, “Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.” And I believe that because I like what I do gives me the freedom […]
