Last weekend I scored a spot for one of the Nike Women Style Guide Live workouts. I was really stoked for this one because Health House is one of my ultimate favorites. Like most of the Nike events, this one sold out pretty quick!

In June, #NikeWomen hit the town and toured all over KC visiting gyms to share their latest in innovation and fashion. Most of the events sold out pretty quick but I was able to reserve my complimentary spot for the Style Guide Live event at Fit Formula.

I usually update the blog about once a week but lately lyfe has been crazy. June was a big month for me (us). We bought a new house. We moved. I turned the big 3-0 (gasp). We got engaged. And the fiancé is back out on the pitch!
Playlists fascinate me. I obsess over them! Music is a big part of what makes me tick. Playlists are personal and reflective of the person who makes them. I tend to gravitate towards high energy songs or indie tracks. If I’ve had a long day at work or need to unwind, I like to spend time with my mat and blast this playlist on shuffle. I tend to practice in the p.m. so this works great. I flow without rhyme or reason and work on things I want to achieve. I usually get some pretty good puppy love too!

Per usual, I found this teatox on Instagram via a few lifestyle bloggers that I follow. (I consider myself a tea connoisseur so you can imagine the excitement.) If juicing isn’t for you, this is a different way to detox. As with any detox, you should proceed with caution and do your research – not all are created equal!

I did this race last year and let me tell ya, they have the best post race #eeeats! RWTC is the major fundraiser for Queen of the Holy Rosary School. The race is part of the Heartland 39.3 series so 500+ usually run the half. The majority run the 5k. This race also has the cutest swag: tech shirt + medal. @QueenietheCow is the official race mascot. The race weekend forecast was nutty. At one point it said 100% severe weather. I prepared for the worst and had all my rain gear lined up and crossed my fingers it wouldn’t be rained out. Long story short, my “no rain” dance worked and we had a dry race.
