Do Life: One Inspiring Book to Do More and Be More

Doing any kind of race is fun. (I know—I just did a SUPER fab one and Kristen just rocked hers!) But these days, racing is about more than just road running and tris. There’s trail running and crazy obstacles and color and glow sticks and zombies—and mud. Oh my gosh, there’s so much mud. It [...]

The Book We Wish We Had When We Were Younger—and How You Can Win It!






Being a teen can be tough. Heck, being an adult woman can be hard sometimes, especially when it comes to all the crazy pants (and crazy wrong!) messages we get about how we need to look like this and weigh that to be beautiful or even worthy. So when we had the opportunity to work [...]

The weather has been so gloriously springy lately that I really want to do nothing more than go for a run, then come back and sit in the sunshine with a good book and a big ol’ glass of iced tea. Or coconut water. Or—who am I kidding?—wine. And if you’re interested in some new [...]

I believe 2013, for me, is going to be The Year of Yoga. (I’ve also declared it The Year of: Beach Cruisers, Soup and Cheese, so take from that what you will.) But, in all seriousness, I’ve been ramping up my yoga game in the last couple of months, and I fully intend to keep [...]
