Good Deals Are Sweet Like Honey
I love to use coupon codes, search for best deals, and never pay full price. Technology has helped in that so much! Today, I stumbled on something that looks kind of new (maybe I’m late to the party?!) and I wanted to share it with you. The service called “Honey” is a browser extension and…

Weekend in DC
In July, I attended a week-long conference in Baltimore. One of my dearest friends had recently moved to DC and I had not seen her in years. I realized how close I would be to her and decided if she could meet me in the District that I would make it happen. I booked a…

Do You Want to Run a 5k?
Did you hear that in the melody from Frozen? You were supposed to–go on & read it again. Tomorrow I will be running a 5k and be frozen, so it seems fitting.

The Shoes Make the Outfit
In this case, the shoes may very well impact my ability to perform as needed to survive an onslaught of physical stimuli [pain!] and mental exhaustion [fear!]. Has anyone done a Tough Mudder? I need a good pair of shoes. I know why they are important and thus begins my walk down Humiliation Lane.
