Living in Michigan this time of year, the weather is nothing short of unpredictable, with 60 degrees and sun one day, 30 degrees and snow the next. I love having seasons, but one thing I can tell you I don’t like is being cold. So when I received an email from marketing guru, Kyle, at Cryowellness […]
Disclaimer: I was hooked up with an awesome custom-made JournalMENU Crossfit log book in exchange for a review. All opinions are completely my own. I have always been a fan of logging my workouts, from back when I started NROLFW using a combination of an excel spreadsheet and my blog, to Stronglifts using their app, […]
Holy dang, it’s July! I have been busying myself with my middle sister’s wedding (crazy!), taking a little vacation, painting my living and dining room, lots and lots of Oly lifting, and prepping for an upcoming partner Crossfit competition, with a team name inspired by Girls Gone WOD! On top of all that, this month […]
Regardless if you do Crossfit or any other sport, chances are you have plenty of gear to tote around back and forth between home and the gym. I have used everything from a reuseable grocery bag to a dufflebag to a standard gym bag and while each has their perks (from one being quite inexpensive […]

A short while back, I had an opportunity to work with Mandy, the mastermind behind Fran’s Closet RX. In helping to spread the word about her Crossfit clothing line, I was fortunate enough to review one of her popular designs, an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt lined with the softest fleece! Love at first wear. To get an idea […]
Disclaimer: FringeSport provided a discount to me on the items purchases in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own. Once upon a time, I had a home gym, pretty fully equipped with a rower, squat rack, barbells and weights, slosh pipe, plyo box, pull-up bar, and dip station. It was nothing fancy by […]
To keep things interesting during my Saturday morning Crossfit Endurance classes, this week our Coach opted to send us out on a trail run. This was something very new and different to me, but I have heard countless runners (and those who dislike running) say that there is nothing comparable to trail running. I had […]
Disclaimer: I was provided with a custom-made necklace at no cost to me in exchange for a review. All thoughts are absolutely my own! A while back, I had an opportunity to do a giveaway on my blog for a product I had not even tried myself. While not the typical order I like to […]
