I hope that I don’t offend some of your readers out there in cyberspace, but I’ve never been a big fan of yoga. Uncomfortable poses, teachers with soft and soothing voices, all of the people in that room with me. I prefer a kind of activity that is heavily cardiovascular. I...

Do you remember reading The Great Gatsby in high school? If you accurately remember, it was a horribly boring book. Sure, F. Scott Fitzgerland is considered one of America’s greatest literary masters, but I wouldn’t read that book again unless held at gun point. Have you seen the...

Yesterday, I ran to the grocery store for a “quick” trip. I circled the produce section (the only section I occupy) and grabbed a few things of every color. Some kale here, carrots there, wham, bam, throw it in the bag and get out fast (I hate the grocery store). Thirty minutes and...

“Girl time” is something that I have gotten so little of since I left my freshman dorms, that I forget how much I enjoy it. I can recall the few occasions in the last 5 years that I have had quality girl time and although the other parties present may not even remember, I cherish...

I didn’t fall in love with Alt-J today. I didn’t fall in love with them last night—when they rocked the Bluebird Theater for the first time. I fell in love with them when Joe Newman’s unique vocals first echoed through my ear buds, when I heard Gwil Saisbury’s guitar riffed through...

After having seen the movie title, “happy” on my Netflix homepage for so many months, it was finally time to watch. The documentary was narrated by a handful of psychologists whose primary focus of research was happiness, what makes people happy, and how happiness can be achieved...

My most recent post would contradict this. I speak over and over again about how when I go to the ice rink, I will fall a hundred times just to stand back up and try again. Most of the time, it’s to our advantage to be relentless- to fight for something as a way to challenge and better...

Many would believe that to have a skating session with no falls would be the ideal session. I would argue against that. Sure, sometimes it’s painful to fall. More often than not, it’s more frustrating than it is painful. Pain and frustration are negative feelings; we all know that....

This is my favorite song off Fall Out Boy’s new “comeback” album which will be released on April 15th.  I love this song and have it on repeat. Side note: I saw them perform recently and Patrick’s voice truly hits all of these notes. Enjoy!  

My first and only visit to my (first of three) university that I attended was in July. Fort Collins was sunny, hipsters were cruising on their single-speed bikes, farmers’ markets were alive and well, and I was still skinny and blonde enough to wear booty shorts and not look like a complete...

What do you want?  Right now, in this moment, what is it that you want?  I’m not kidding, stop reading right now and decide.  If you can have anything in the world, what would it be?  (Seriously, stop reading until you’ve figured it out). I’m sure some of you decided you’d love to...

  This video by Austin-based Jeff Vash mimics the allure of the track itself. Never have I seen a video fit a song more vividly. It’s lust-filled rhythm and beautiful imagery is a perfect match for any down tempo music lover. I found a great write-up on WannaPlayDaily.com that...
