There's something about having a new year on the horizon that makes me feel excited, reinvigorated and motivated - but not in a New Year's resolution kind of way, more of in an enthusiastic for what's to come and what I want to do sorta way.

Life Mottos from Lululemon
It's Sunday night already, and I'm wondering -- where did the weekend go?! A couple days ago while running errands, I stopped at the Lululemon outlet store for the first time. Though it has less of a selection than the regular store, it was awesome because it was still their cute clothes, only cheaper (well duh, I suppose that's the usual MO of an outlet store!).

I was thinking that just an hour is okay with me. I had my iPhone music shuffle on, and just then, the Alabama ... [Read More]
Need Reasons to Exercise?
Happy Hump Day! Here are my favorites things today - Chart of the day: (source) Mantra of the day: "Never give up on yourself." Best moment of the day: Coming home from volunteering at the Humane Society and finding flowers on my doorstep from my marine. I haven't been able to talk to Adam very much lately because of where his squadron is currently at. The communication has been difficult and that at times can be a bummer, so the flowers made me feel better! Quote of the day: Good night! ... [Read More]
