Stuff and Things

I do miss the days when I used to blog on the regs, so I’m just going to share a whole bunch of random stuff with you, and you’re going to like it.

Theodora, maybe don’t wear a pink bra under a sort of see-through shirt?

I haven’t even tried the other things on yet, but my StitchFix (referral link!) box looks ON POINT this month. I am in serious love with this sweater.

Something Madison recently advertised here on Preppy Runner. It’s a super cute preppy/boho-chic-ish website, and they offer free shipping. They’re based in South Carolina, and the prices are really reasonable. None of the dresses are more than 50 or so dollars, and that cute teal one on the bottom is on sale for $20! (P.S. I recently updated my sponsorship page, so take a look if you’re interested in working together!) 

I took Chelsea’s Sculpt Fusion class at Uplift tonight. I always forget how difficult it is. It’s lower impact, but still really intense. And I effing love it. It’s still slow enough, though, that it slows my racing brain down. This is the best part of my week when I take this class. From what I’ve heard about Core Power Yoga (which Lee teaches!) and PiYo, they seem pretty similar. My only complaint with Chelsea (other than my glutes being EN FUEGO) is that she played Higher Love as the first song. It’s totally a last-song/savasana song, Chels. 

I went to a matchmaker event at The Plaza last night…in their Caudalie spa? They sprayed this beauty elixir on me, and it gave me this awesome, dewy look, rather than my usual pallid office-worker skin.  

I’ve been testing out different shoes for work, and I LOVE how these Mizuno Hitogramis look. I haven’t run in them enough yet to evaluate them as a running shoe, but they are pretty enough that I’ve worn them not running, and I NEVER wear running shoes when I can wear flip flops, so. 

Liz Barnet, one of the amazing Uplift instructors (who, randomly is from the same town as me) is leading a ridiculous wellness trip in Costa Rica in July. As a special bonus for you guys, she’s offering a 30-minute free phone consultation to discuss your wellness goals and what you’d like to accomplish on the trip. You can email her at liz@lizbarnet.com, and tell her I sent you!

Someone from the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance wanted me to share this graphic with you in honor of National Women’s Health Week next week. This isn’t just a men’s disease. This is a devastating disease, though. My grandpa (WWII pilot, factory owner) had it, and went from walking 5 miles a day in September to passing away in January my senior year of high school.

And some awesome things I’ve read (okay fine, and written) lately:

• My beautiful friend Gia’s #mamalete movement. If you are a mom and an athlete, go read that.
• Airports you can work out in!! I’ve always wanted this when I’m stuck on a long layover.
• How to heal running blisters
• A shameless plug for something I wrote for work about how to vet online trainers or nutritionists.
• Skechers stock is doing very well now post-Meb winning Boston.
• Mark Remy is the funniest man in the world.
• Jen wrote a beautiful post about losing her best friend.

Tell me some stuff and things about your life, and link to some awesome things you’ve read lately?
