Hot Yoga: Tips and Tools We Sweat and Swear By

When I tell my friends about how much I love the hot yoga classes I’ve been attending, I get some version of the same response every time: “That sounds awful. We live in Florida. It’s already hot! I sweat way too much for that!” Oh, you think you sweat too much? Have you met me? via GIPHY YOU GUYS. I sweat a lot. I sweat right through my ponytail in a hip hop dance class. I sweat profusely in regular, non-hot yoga. Hell, I’m sweating a bit right now, typing in my office. (My friends are not wrong — it is hot here.)…

How To Make Nut Butter

Homemade nut butter is so simple to make, just two ingredients (nuts and salt)! Simply toast the nuts then put them in the food processor. Here I made nut butter three ways; almond butter, walnut butter and pecan butter but any tree nut would work.

How To Make Nut Butter

Homemade nut butter is healthy, affordable and even more delicious than store-bought! You can make as much or as little as you wish! It’s easy to make, too. You’ll just need a decent food processor or a really good blender. Making it yourself also gives you complete control of what goes into your nut butter. Serve it over toast, with banana, apples or pears, stir some into my overnight oats, smoothie bowls, or just eat it with a spoon!

Yoga to Boost Your Strength and Courage

We all have those days when we don’t feel quite like ourselves — like something’s a little off and we’re  not feeling our usual level of awesomeness. I’ve been there, too — so many times. Sometimes I know why (not enough sleep, being overworked, too much … AHEM … celebrating). But the most frustrating times are those moments when I really can’t put my finger on why I feel out of sorts, almost as if there’s just some weird energy lurking around that I just can’t seem to shake. Enter yoga. It really is such a fabulous tool for tuning into…

Why You Should Send Your Kid to Summer Camp

I was lucky enough to go to a fantastic summer camp as a kid. My mom, being the savvy lady that she is, negotiated a deal with an all-girls outdoor wilderness camp near Bemidji, Minn., Camp Birchwood. My mom would work as the camp nurse and her four daughters would attend camp for free. I spent my adolescent summers kayaking, hiking, and learning how to backpack in the great Northern Minnesota wilderness. Needless to say, this was exactly what I needed as a teenager. My summers at Camp Birchwood helped me gain confidence, learn how to stay organized, and be…

Podcast Ep 86: Ultrarunners Scott and Jenny Jurek

If you are in the market for some mountain-sized, kick-ass motivation, this is the ep for you! We were lucky enough to chat with Scott and Jenny Jurek about their epic running adventures under occasionally hellacious circumstances. Scott is one of the greatest long distance runners of all time with a whole slew of victories under his belt, including winning the Western States 100-Mile Run seven consecutive times. (Like whoa!) In 2015, Scott decided it was time to bow out of his competitive running career by taking on one more epic journey — running the entire length of the Appalachian Trail. But…
