Here’s what you need to know before you hike Trolltunga, especially if you’re a newbie like me. I’ll detail our schedule, what you should pack for the hike, and give you all the pro-tips along the…

First, let me note that I am not a trainer or a doctor, so please don’t take this article TOO seriously. If you’re really worried about running 13.1 miles, then don’t run it. With that being said, I did the Rock ‘n’ Roll Raleigh half-marathon! I fractured my vertebrae about a month ago, and with…
Currently when you type “oil” into Google, “oil pulling” comes up before “oil change.” No. What is “oil pulling,” you ask? Well besides being totally fucking disgusting, it’s a supposed miracle for whiter teeth! A healthier liver! A skin-clearing miracle!

Let me remind you – you are beautiful. You have your shit together. How do I know you have your shit together?
