How to Make Morning Workouts Happen.

Sometimes it's funny how quickly our habits can shift. When I was marathon training a few years ago I was always a night runner - morning workouts were never in the cards for me as I'd much rather decompress from work at the end of the day with a few miles after dark (which looking back was pretty dangerous, but luckily everything was okay!). Night workouts were my thing and as many times as I tried, I could never make the morning workout thing happen and would end up snoozing through my alarm at every attempt. Fast…

Finding a Balanced Fitness Routine.

CALIA Ruched Racerback Tank // CALIA Effortless Printed Ruched Tights // CALIA Puffer Jacket // CALIA Hooded Infinity Scarf // Nike Flyknit Sneakers I've never been great at balance, especially when it comes to my fitness.

101 in 1001 // Part Two.

I wrote my first 101 in 1001 list back in the final days of 2012 as a way to ditch my usual list of New Year's resolutions and instead think long-achrm.

There certainly is a time and place for holiday glam but besides that, you're most likely to find me in either loungewear or errand running attire as I cruise through my jam-packed schedule and never ending to do lists. When the J. Jill team shared their December collection with me I was instantly onboard. These people know where it's at! Cozy knits, down vests, comfy slippers and loungewear? Yes, please. All of it.

morning grind.

I never really thought I'd say this, but I've become obsessed with my morning workouts. Maybe it's the rush that comes with knowing you've crushing it while most other people are still in bed. Or maybe it's having your morning coffee and breakfast waiting for you afterward as motivation. Or it could be that I just like getting it done and out of the way early so that I have more time later in the day to tackle my to do list. Regardless of the reasons, morning workouts rule.
