I recently entered a giveaway on one my favorite blogs, The Ascent Blog, for a Crossfit WOD tank by LatitudeGearRX. Around the same time that I found the giveaway, I was contacted by Lindsay, who founded the company, asking if I would be interested in reviewing on of their tanks. Of course, I said yes!
I had my first AbMat experience at a global gym about a year ago. I had signed up to work with a personal trainer and he had me doing a Crossfit-style workout that consisted of push-ups, squats, and sit-ups. When the trainer set the mat on the floor, I had no idea how to use […]
I think my favorite part about blogging is getting to discover some awesome new small businesses and help spread the word about their products! SoRock Shop sent me two of their workout tanks to review, and I am absolutely loving them both! Who is SoRock Shop? What started in a spare bedroom in 2008 with […]
Have you ever used arm sleeves when running? Are you ever unsure how to layer if you might get too warm but do not want to carry around a bulky jacket or gloves? I found an awesome Michigan-based company called Treadwear that has a solution to this problem! This review is has been in the […]
Do you ever feel that without some strict structure in your life, things get all chaotic? For example, I did not do a meal plan this weekend but knew I had plenty of food at home to make sure I wouldn’t starve. However not knowing what I was going to eat each day just makes […]

As much as I would love to say I eat real, whole foods 100% of the time, the reality is that life is rarely that perfect. Sometimes it is much easier to just have a grab-and-go type of snack for situations like if you are running late for work in the morning, if you need a quick […]
While I do tend to stick to a mostly paleo diet. I have started to add dairy back since it typically does not cause any digestive issues (except for whole milk and ice cream). Most cheeses and yogurts are a complete go! You may think that I have been living under a rock, but up […]
I am sure by now everyone has seen the cute little car window stickers with the stick people, sometimes stick-animals, too. While some people mock the display of a loving family, I personally find them adorable. And even better yet, I think it’s cute when they are more personalized people rather than just the traditional man, woman, child, […]
I like to think that I can get big and strong by just using my sheer body and skills alone, but once in a while it is helpful to use various aids for assistance to see if there is hidden potential. When I was given an opportunity to try out the Harbinger Women’s Core Belt, I was unsure what to […]
