When in Rome…eat a lot

I really do not know where to start but to say that I barely scratched the surface of what Rome has to offer. Which is funny because of the years of history that Rome has been built on. How amazing that you can dig just a few feet and see pristine marble floors?

More Sausages??

Ok, it’s been awhile. A lot of exciting things have happened in September — including a trip to Munich and Rome.

As a meeting and event planner, we have our work cut out for us. It’s not all galas and fancy hotels. There can be a lot of late nights and crappy room service…

Focus & End (30f30 Update)

Week 3

I am officially requesting a refund from SoulCycle and Flywheel. Those classes did NOT prepare me for going uphill in real life. Biking these hills is HARD. My legs gave up on me three quarters of the way up a hill while I was “out of the…

30f30 Update — Week 2

Friday

I still haven’t caught my breath from such a kickass class I took today. I should probably be in the shower right now but I am just so stoked. This class, Spark Sculpt, is defined by Spark Yoga as “a power flow incorporating hand weights used to tone and…

Fair and Lovely

The California Mid-State Fair is a huge deal here, and thanks to Travis’ job, we were able to score tickets to one of the concerts…
