Savasana in the Sand: Beach Yoga with Farmdog Surf School
09/19/2015 by
On our last trip to the Outer Banks, we rented a surfboard from Farmdog Surf School. As I was browsing the list of rental items and classes, I discovered that they offer a beach yoga class. Now, I love the beach and I love yoga, so the opportunity to combine the two made perfect sense. […]
Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign: Ways you can help support the cause
09/15/2015 by
The statistics surrounding childhood hunger are staggering … 1 out of 5 K-8 teachers say they regularly see children come to school hungry. 16 million kids (that equals 1 out of 5) in America live in a household without consistent access to adequate and nutritious food. More than 20 million kids get free or reduced-price […]
Sun Protection: Blue Lizard Sunscreen Review

My Quest for Comfort with Vanity Fair and ‘Women Who Do’
10/01/2014 by
This post is brought to you by Vanity Fair lingerie and BlogHer. Honestly, I don’t know how all of those historic women managed to do all they did with the sadistic undergarments they wore back then. Tight corsets and even tighter bustiers with a bra-zillion buttons and strings … I can barely boil water without […]
