Chicago City Guide: Active Things to Do in Chicago

If you caught my Chicago food guide, you know it was a hefty blog with lots of food porn. Thought I’d let that soak in and create a post of fun active things to do in Chicago to mix it up while you’re there. I strive to be as active as possible in new cities. Since Chicago is definitely an active and pedestrian city, it wasn’t hard to get in my steps. Workout dates with A Sweat Life I LOVE these…

My Chicago-Denver trip was my final and biggest trip of the year. After 2 months of non-stop travel, I ended it with a week long getaway to Chi-town and then to Denver. I spent 2.5 days in Chi-town and covered a TON of ground. My favorite part was that I had ZERO plans and asked for recommendations just via Instagram and from locals. It took me to places that weren’t super touristy and I loved…

I love doing staycations. I’m a huge believer in taking time for yourself and becoming a tourist in your own city. For this post, I partnered with Visit Dallas and the Adolphus Hotel to show you how I like to spend my staycations in style. After traveling for 5 weeks straight, it’s a wonder I wanted to stay in another hotel, but what I needed more than home was peace and quiet. Plus, my home was…

OSU’s Women’s Football 101 + my stay in Stillwater

When it comes to anything relating to football, I am IN! So when Visit Stillwater asked me to join them for a women’s only football event, you bet I jumped on that. Football 101 invites women for a full day of football related activities. From listening to panels of coaches, meeting the OSU football players, actively participating in different football drills, touring the facilities and learning…

5 Reasons You Should Try Acro Yoga

I’m so new to the acro yoga movement and I have to say, I’m hooked! Obsessed! And I can’t wait to try it again.

It’s a beautiful practice and certainly an intimidating one if you look at it, BUT here are 5 reasons why…

Getting more veggies and fruits into my daily diet is such a challenge. Ever since I left the corporate world, my routine has completely changed. Instead of a set breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner, what and when I eat is almost different every day. Guys… I’m guilty of not even being able to get in a lunch until 1pm most days because I’m so immersed in work and that’s just totally bad for my…

Visit Norman and Visit OKC, the travel hubs in those respective cities, invited me and my blogger boos for a weekend getaway that would highlight Norman and OKC…

When it comes to fitness, I’m a total gym rat. I love spending my hour in the zone, crushing my weights, while listening to a killer playlist. So when Fitness Connection reached out to me to visit their new gym, I was definitely curious to see how their facilities measure up to other big box gyms since I’m more of a boutique gym gal. I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised and enjoyed checking out…

Mondays. Or is it Mondaze? Either way, my company Dallas Fitness Ambassadors partnered with Sprouts to host a wonderful Mindful Monday event for our influencers in celebration of their new Lake Highlands store opening. When scouting a venue, I knew I wanted a slice of heaven and I found it at THE Alexan off Katy Trail. As someone who is constantly on the go-go-go, I know how hard it is to even…
