I have a Nike Free problem…?
So. I’m pretty addicted to Nike Free Runners. I wear them everyday at home and for walking and errand running. I also wear them to work sometimes. I’ve been wearing them since 2006 and I have no idea what number I’m on…my 14th pair? I don’t know. It’s possible.
I started with the black uppers with white soles.
The OG Nike Free colorway
But I kind of need to mix it up.
I’ve had neon orange, teal with black soles and laces, crazy stripes and dots, and a few pairs of black on black. My current pair is on its way out, and I’m a little sad at the idea of buying the ex ..read more

You guys. Nike made Kyries inspired by sugar cereals and they are the SHIIITTTTTTT.
Too bad they’re in kid sizes.
I thought number three here was Cap’n Crunch, because duh, but it’s Kix. Gross.
WHERE MY CRUNCHBERRIES AT ..read more

Dude.
Lululemon has a new (to me) pair of all-purpose/ yoga leggings. And they are uh-maze-balls.
Don’t ask me why they styled them with these hideous slides. There are many mysteries in this life.
They’re called the Align Pant. And they’re made out of clouds and dreams.
They’re so stretchy you can put them on on a fat day and not hate yourself.
And so buttery soft and pliable, you put them on and feel like you are instantly as flexible as a pretzel. *high kick*
Why is this awesome? Well, I’m a little heavier after a summer of work (read: not working out) and wine (because summer), so my wo ..read more

I’m a freelance writer. Which means sometimes I’m commuting to the city and sometimes I’m working at home. When I commute to the city, I spend 3.5 hours a day commuting. And when I work from home, I basically wake up, maybe walk the dog, and start working right away because I can. I never know what type of work situation I’ll be in, so a gym membership is dumb and so is committing to any kind of studio unless I only want to go on Saturdays. Also, my super-affordable, on-the-way-to-daycare bootcamp has moved and become a less-affordable F45 on the other side of town, so… I’ve been classless for ..read more

Target has been sniping successful brands and making their own versions for a few years now, but this spring they’ve really stepped on the gas in the fashion brand style-biting department…
I get that they have to follow trends, but it’s a little blatant. And as a card maker who’s had one of her designs low-key copied by Paper Source and who has a few other maker friends who this has happened to…I can only imagine how these big, established brands feel about Target copying their whole entire vibe. Eeeeeesh. Not very cool. Anyway. Tabling the issues of brand-swiping and business ethics a ..read more

I had a “treat yo self” moment this week and an hour to kill, so I went in to Lululemon to buy me a jacket. (Because Athleta has shit for jackets right now. Waiting for some new options for spring, but…right now there’s nada.) So for your virtual shopping pleasure, here are some Lululemon Jacket Reviews.
First I tried the Define Jacket, which is super popular. (Don’t judge my footwear, I was heading to a meeting after this. And yes I have giant water-ski clown shoes for feet.)
Here’s what you need to know about the Lululemon Define Jacket:
it’s tight AF
it doesn’t cover your ass
but it comes ..read more

An ode to Sole.
(Specifically the Sole F80 Treadmill.)
One of my favorite things.
In 2011 I broke up with the 24-7 full-time advertising life in San Francisco and moved back to the Midbest to live the dream. What is the dream? The dream keeps changing, but at the time of departure, the dream meant parking in a garage with a garage door opener (!) somewhere that didn’t involve getting out of my car to unlock a gate or run away from violent homeless guys and hurriedly, horror movie-style, try to unlock another gate without dropping my keys. (Only happened once, but it happened.) The dream mean ..read more

I’m trying Sun Basket. Because I suck at cooking, Paleo is boring when you don’t cook, and I’m sick of salads. I’ll let you know how it goes. But until then, here’s a link that gives you a discount because nobody wants to pay full price for a meal they still have to cook themselves. You’re welcome.

Here’s what I get to eat (and have to cook) next week:
Yes, I looked at other meal kit delivery services like Hello Fresh and Blue Apron (and the keto ones) but the more specialized you get (keto or paleo) the more expensive they get, and this one is kind ..read more
