If progress motivates … I am at full motivation. About 2.5 months ago, I started working out at a “regular gym” (ie, not a CrossFit gym), following Power Athlete’s CrossFit Football Amateur programming pretty closely (my roommate is CFFB/Power Athlete staff and amazing at life/lifting, so this is helpful). The main reasons: I want to…
In the wake of my extraordinarily tomboy-meets-girly six-item me-centric Christmas List, may I present to you the flipside of the coin: ten things that I already have, that you should give people for Christmas, because they are awesome. Broken down into who the eff those people are. You’re welcome. Female, Any This Coach Mini Skinny wallet is…
Upping your Shoe/Onesie/Whatever Game is a recent cultural phenomenon capturing the essence of both having style and a collection of things in a category of that style. I must confess, my ‘Bra Game’ has never been tight. Legitimately, I sneakily wore a sports bra to work yesterday disguised as a tank under a vest (incidentally,…
LOVE this new ad campaign. Click here for the other 20 ads from #StoptheBeautyMadness. The goal of the campaign: “Women can no longer sit back and hope someone else stops the beauty madness. It’s an inside job first, of course. But then it becomes a real-world community job. We are the choir on this, so…
This: The #aerieREAL campaign isn’t just an ad launch but a complete overhaul of the way aerie, the lingerie(ish) spinoff of American Eagle, treats its models. The new crop of models on the website and in the ads are not retouched, so there are moles, piercings, tattoos, skin wrinkles, and more. And they look like…
This post is a departure from outfits and shoe picks and faux celeb shenanigans, but it’s important to speak up for yourself, speak out against wrongdoing, and challenge the status quo. So here we go. Celeb Shailene Woodley doesn’t consider herself a feminist (click here for the TIME article). When asked “Do you consider yourself…
“Female freedom has an expiration date” … a really interesting perspective on marriage by a single 35-year-old woman.
I’ve been posting a lot of videos lately, I’m not sure what that’s about but this is another good one, so click play.
When women shop for underwears, we do not want: visible panty lines (VPL) muffin top uni-butt wedgies I recently wrote an undie review that had me questioning how exactly one writes an undie review without getting too personal, and I seemed to have settled on talking about the universal problem of wedgies, which that particular…
Like a love affair, my relationship with athletic clothing line Ellie has had its ups and downs. Ellie.com started as pv.body, which took excess inventory from top brands and sent a surprise top and bottom every month to subscribers for a low price. It had some problems then—customer service was slow, returned gear was plenty—but it…
Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In launches today, and like any other plugged-in, ambitious twentysomething, I pre-ordered it and can’t wait to rip into the book that should be sitting in my mailbox right now. I find women’s workplace dynamics so interesting, and while that’s not the focus on Sandberg’s book per se, it’s certainly a part of…
