drink more juice! || project juice recap

Hi everyone! If you know me personally, you likely know I never turn down a good juice date. I also love to make my own juices/smoothies at home and have done my good share of juice cleanses over the past few years {HERE & HERE & HERE}. While I’d love to make a green juice daily, my schedule just doesn’t allow it every day. My favorite juice shop in the city, Project Juice, generously offered to let me try a few of their juices and I’m sharing about the experience today! First of all, if you live in SF or have visited, you’ve likely seen or visited […]

working out and avant-barre class giveaway!

I’ve never (ever) described myself as an athletic girl, but I do think I’m pretty active. I’ve always felt kind of uncomfortable in gyms and workout classes because I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb, not doing something right, etc. Lately though, I’ve been inspired and finally getting into my own grove with the whole work out thing though! I’ve been going to Mighty Pilates for over a year and that was the first place where I truly felt excited about working out, challenged and I enjoyed doing the classes. Very recently, I tried a class at a new studio in SF […]
