Cocogo Brand Ambassador
First thing's first: It's time to announce my Cocogo sports drink giveaway winner. Congratulations to Calista at A Fettle Fine Thyme! I've emailed you for your address so I can get a box of lemon lime electrolyte packets shipped to you very soon. Speaking of Cocogo, I'm happy to announce that I'm now partnering with the company as a brand ambassador! As I mentioned in my post about their drink packets, I'm a big fan of keeping properly hydrated to feel my best and love electrolyte drinks. Grape is my favorite flavor of theirs! And because I feel like keeping things short and sweet on here tonight, I wanted to share some words of wisdom that I absolutely adore and have yet to post: I happen to believe that life's too short to waste your time on ...

Life is Too Short to Wait
(source) So often I hear of tragedies happening and people dying and I think of how crazy and short life can be. This happened a few days ago when that teacher in Nevada was killed by a 12-year old gunman. And the thought of life being unpredictable has been weighing heavy on my mind today, since finding out that my great aunt passed away this morning. I wasn't really close with her, but she was family. The last time I saw her we were relaxing on beach chairs in the early evening, feet in the sand, plastic cups of wine in our hands, just chatting about life. She always seemed healthy, until recently when she was diagnosed with cancer in multiple areas of her body. After that diagnosis came, it all went downhill for her, and a prognosis of having months to live turned into ... [Read More]
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 had seen a really cute hoodie at the regular Lululemon during my birthday shopping trip, but the price tag was a little too steep for me. I was more in need of yoga pants and sports bras than a zip up, so I skipped it. At the outlets, I found a cute hoodie and got it 70% off its original price. Score! When I got home, I noticed the shopping bag that my purchase came in. It's covered with life mantras and quotes, most of which ... [Read More]
Do What you Can, With What You Have, Where You Are
(source) Have you ever seen someone nutty enough to go to the gym with a cast on (or done so yourself?)? Well, in the very unlikely chance that you go to my gym, you recently may have... because I've been back working out at the gym! After 2 weeks of staying away from the gym and doing light at-home workouts due to my foot injury, I decided to try going to the gym. Since I only have light weights at home, I wanted to head to the gym to do some heavier upper body strength training. It certainly has been challenging to come up with exercises where I'm not putting pressure on my foot, but I've been managing to do some pretty good arm/back/ab workouts. There has been a lot of sitting on a bench or stability ball, and it's a bit tough taking it easy... but my improvised workouts and ... [Read More]
Top 10 Life Mottos & Quotes of the Week
Earlier today, I realized that exactly 4 months ago I moved from San Diego to the San Jose area. In all honestly, I miss San Diego a lot, but I've been having a great time exploring the Bay Area and have settled into my life here. Between wine country, good food, farmers' markets, beaches, and more, there's no shortage of fun to be had in this area! In other places I've lived, I've printed out motivational quotes or written sayings that inspire me on post-its, and then hung them up in places where I can see them on a daily basis. One thing my new place has been missing is some quirky quotes around, so I've been checking out some phrases to put up around my house. I know that there are a lot of quote junkies out there like myself, so I wanted to share the top 10 mottos & quotes I ... [Read More]
