Fist, let me wish everyone happy holidays. I hope you all had a wonderful time being present with friends and family. I’m overwhelmed with feelings lately. Grateful is a total understatement.
Mexico Travels: Sayulita & Puerto Vallarta
The anticipation and build up for our trip to Sayulita started last winter when we were traveling around Puerto Rico. I found this colorful little town on Instagram and was immediately drawn to it. I knew I had to see it with my own eyes.

8 beauty products to try this winter
When it comes to beauty products and pampering, I have to admit I am the worst. Or at least I was. My New Year’s resolution in 2015 was to indulge and learn how to be a girly girl. (I turned 30 in June so it was time!) As a result, I died my hair for the first time in like 7 years, bought good makeup + learned how to contour and invested in good skin care products. I also subscribed to a few subscription boxes, which is where I discover most of my favorites.

The event starts at Top Golf at 10am followed by golfing for the gents and a sweaty good time for the ladies (think Bar Method, outdoor cardio and yoga!). Delicious eats to follow. YES please.
L is for Light △
A few weeks ago I was browsing The Blog on lululemon. I was guided to a blog post titled 5 tips to shining your light by Emma Mildon. Her book the Soul Searchers Handbook comes out in October and I cannot wait to read it! My new found love for yoga has me super curious about everything mind-body-spirit. Aromatherapy, meditation, Feng Shui… you name it.
N is for Nike Women’s Half Marathon #WeRunSF
Just one week after Portland I snagged a spot and registered for the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Fransisco. This was a last minute addition that I could not pass up. Any Nike race would have gotten me excited but #WeRunSF is total bucket list status. Running this race was extra specials because after Portland, I decided my new goal was to complete half marathons in 10 different cities. San Fran is city number 5 and half number 11 for me, which is so crazy considering I ran my first half fall 2013.
P is for Portland Half Marathon
1:45. I’ve been chasing that time for over a year now. I ran Go Girl KC fall 2014 in 1:48 and I’ve been racing after 1:45 ever since. I thought shaving off 3 minutes would be easy but it took me five races, over 12 months and just the right course/day. Today I am here to tell the World Wide Web that I finally freaking did it!
