Sponsored: The Sweetest Part of My Workout Routine

While I ran a half-marathon last year with very little training, this year I’m trying to actually put some effort into it. I joined Fleet Feet Raleigh’s half-marathon training program which is *gasp* actually making me like running. I’ve also been working some new snacks into my routine – and this one is amaZING. With running between four…

Spon: My Wendy’s Core Salads Experience

I’m heading to the Thai New Year in Bangkok this week. Unbeknownst to me when I booked the tickets, it turns out April is the hottest month of the year in Thailand (science, hmm, probably should have known!), and I’ll be spending two weeks simmering in humid 100-degree weather. That means tank tops. And bathing suits….

Capital One 360’s Black Friday Weekend Sale – ’til 12/1!

It’s officially the time of year we all start thinking about our New Year’s Resolutions. I, of course, plan on working out everyday, only eating kale, never complaining about work… JK yeah right. But one resolution I am optimistic about is managing my money better. Whether it’s something small like packing my lunch, or something…

Open Enrollment Season: Read Your Benefits!

Back in 2006, before I even knew what “Benefit Enrollment” meant. Holy smokes, when did we become grown-ups? Wasn’t it just yesterday we were getting physicals for the 7th grade softball team? Welp, looks like we need to think about the real world now. As I’ve gotten a “big kid job” and passed the age…

Falling in Love with Gaiam Yoga Pants

I always feel happiest on my yoga mat. It’s where I get the sweatiest, it’s where I feel the most at peace, and it’s likely the only place my brain is finally quiet. So what motivates me to throw myself into a hot room for 60 minutes and sweat my tush off? Because it’s fun…

Sponsored Ad: Back to School with Abercrombie & Fitch Jeans

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Abercrombie & Fitch for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been a huge fan of Abercrombie & Fitch jeans since high school, mostly because they make your butt look GOOD. I wrote a blog post for Beaucoo.com last year, where I modeled how flattering the jeans are…

Sponsored: Teva’s #Ready2Roo!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Teva for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My favorite Teva sandals in Peaks Teal. So fresh, yet so ’90s – basically my two favorite things. I have a guilty love for sandals. They make me unequivocally happy, and I basically want to wear…

Hot Hollister Lifeguards and Epic Deals? What’s not to love?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hollister Co. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve always been jealous of California this time of year, because while the rest of us are shivering in our furry boots, with our hair a mess from ear muffs, the folks in SoCal can still jaunt…

Allergy Face: A Fashionista’s Faux Pas

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zyrtec. All opinions are 100% mine. The two worst things that can happen to a fashionable woman: Wearing the same dress as your arch enemy at an event. Being asked by that same arch enemy if you’re “sick,” because your “eyes look really red.”…
