Inbox Zero

I take email very seriously. It’s definitely the most influential form of communication right now and I think it’s something that should be managed in a professional way. But it’s overwhelming. Unlike phones (calls, text messages, etc.), everyone can get in contact with you. Getting an email address is super easy if you know particular cadences…

Body Love

I don’t think Maxie’s post this morning could have come at a better time, for me especially. I’ve been really working on body acceptance for the past year or so and I’ve definitely noticed a major difference in the past six months. I have a couple of early memories of feeling insecure about my body. My…

TAG!

Quarter Life Prep tagged me in a little post. Normally I don’t do these things because I don’t have the patience to figure out clever answers… but I loved the first question so much that I just couldn’t resist! Plus, who doesn’t want to know more about me… I’m just kidding!!! [Ask my rowers, they’ll…

My 2011 Favorites

I just cracked up reading my list of favorites from 2010.  So much has changed… and so much has stayed the same. 1.  Books.  One of my unannounced goals of 2011 was to finish 52 books over the course of the year.  I had no idea how in love I would become with books.  I…

Packing!

I’m packing for two reasons: 1) It’s SUMMER & 2) We’re leaving for Worcester, MA for Eastern Sprints tonight! My room is SO barren right now.  I almost feel like I’m camping because I’m down to literally the bare essentials.  I spent almost all of Wednesday packing boxes.  Thankfully, my room was very organized so it…

What’s in my bag?

I know a bunch of bloggers do this with their purses or totes, but I thought this would be really fun to do with my Coxswain Bag! As a coxswain, I have to be super prepared on the water. But also keep things light. Extra weight=bad! This is what I bring on the water during…
