My mom loves to tell me that I should donate my brain to science. I’m an idea factory; one that's so restless that I should sit on my hands to keep still, and bite my tongue to avoid overwhelming any one else around me. Im easily excitable, and the smallest gestures make the biggest impact on me. I’m a lover and a giver, but sarcasm is my second language — it's quite the combination and you never Continue Reading
A Matcha Made in Heaven
SupaGreenTea-n Ice Cream -- Self-control. Ah, I have none of it when it comes to online shopping and ice cream. I’ve heard the word, “essential,” way too many times since the start of COVID-19. Why didn’t they make ice cream non-essential to save my waistline during the stay at home order? Why didn’t they make online shopping for non-essential items prohibited? While there's been a few Continue Reading
Cereal Killer
Cereal Killer. With no regrets. I recently opened a package from my friends over at 1st Phorm. Inside was Loop D Fruit flavored Phormula-1. I had every intention on making a recipe that this first-class nutrition and supplement company would be proud of, until I opened the container and took a whiff. How in God’s name am I supposed to refrain from making a sweet treat when something smells Continue Reading
Stud Muffins
COVID-19 has given me time to create a laundry list of to-dos, and come up with more recipes than I know what to do with. In the past, I scoured the internet looking for inspiration for the perfect protein muffin. Some recipes were far too complicated, while others simply seemed too dry. Some days, I would draft up a recipe, cover myself in the required PPE, and make my way to the apocalyptic Continue Reading
Peanut Butter Jelly Time
I can’t think of many things that I appreciate from the current state of the world and COVID-19. However -- believe it or not -- over the last week, I’ve seen things that warm my heart. I’ve seen parents outside playing with their kids and young couples out walking their dogs. I’ve seen hilarious videos of children reading to their siblings and husbands and wives smiling as they pretended to still Continue Reading
We’re A Little Old Fashioned
At the start of the Corona chaos, I was amused by the downtime that was being forced on me. Now, after a week of social distancing, it’s safe to say I’m not entertained. While my “busy work” list has grown, so have my family and close friends’ waistlines. Being from the South, I believe filling the bellies of those you care about is actually a love language. I show you I care by making you fat and Continue Reading
The Gritty and Like-Minded
What is a Wilderness Athlete? Being an athlete is a constant display of what the human body is capable of. They spend countless hours perfecting their craft and morphing their bodies to become one of the elites. Athletes calculate the contents of what they put into their bodies; how they fuel their bodies. The dizzying numbers from time trials, scales, and distances become an obsession. They Continue Reading
The Happiest Race on Earth
NORRA 500 I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself in to when I committed to racing a 500 mile off road race, but I have always been sure that I like adrenaline, speed, the desert, and an organization called Warfighter Made. Combining a few of the things I love, great friends, and a good cause was reason enough to find myself running all around Baja, Mexico for a few days. When Robert Continue Reading
I’m So Baked Right Now
From October 31 to November 9, I worked on the road. I enjoyed a day and a half at home before hopping on to a plane to NYC on November 11. On November 13, I wore a smile as I boarded a plane departing La Guardia airport headed for Colorado. Sure, I was only going to be home for a mere 36 hours, but I was going to get two nights sleeping in my bed beside my Continue Reading
Common Sense Thats Not So Common
The majority of the things I share revolve around my world travels and chaotic schedule. But what I have failed to touch base on is how I manage it. Up until very recently, I have run myself ragged. I wasn’t practicing a routine (granted, it’s hard to when you live on the road), nor was I truly practicing self-love or care. It’s probably strange to Continue Reading
