4 flights, 3 states, 4,990 total miles, 3 days. To call last week exhausting would be an understatement. Travel is hard, and even when you’re not hopping all over the country, and hitting your macros when you’re restricted to airport newsstands and fast food joints makes it even worse. Over the years, I’ve found a few…

How to Host a Pinterest-worthy Glamping Getaway
Life has been hectic, y’all. I feel like I’m almost never at home these days. Still, when the chance arose to escape with some girlfriends to go glamping, I jumped on it. Nothing like a little time away from it all to reset yourself and gear up for another busy few months! This wasn’t your old…
Weekend Getaway at Horseshoe Bay
Back in February, our Crossfit coach challenged us to set some new fitness and life goals. We’ve been all over the fitness goals but the life goals, not so much. Top of our list – less “productive” time and more fun! So, after our engagement photos two weeks ago, we took off to Horseshoe Bay for…
Flights on the Cheap
Finding a reasonable flight these days can feel like such a daunting task! You have to hop from site to site, scan across multiple dates, and then still wonder whether the price you’ve found is the best available. Even though someone else is usually picking up the cost of my flights (yay work travel?), I’m…
Visiting the Kentucky Bourbon Trail (Itinerary Included)
The mister and I qualified for the Southwest Companion pass {which is the BEST airline reward ever! – you can be almost halfway there by applying for the Southwest RapidRewards Premier credit card} a few months back, and have been using it to take some short trips for the cost of just one of us….
Emergency Stash
When I travel places I’m pretty familiar with, I tend not to bring along my Isobag or Six Pack Bag with prepped meals. Both bags are pretty bulky, and sometimes, I just don’t have the bag space {checking bags is highly frowned upon for this girl}. Case in point: My last trip to Boston. The…
Road Trip Snacks
We’re Tulsa bound this weekend, and everyone knows road trips require snacks. Gas stations and fast food restaurants are full of temptation, so I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite make-at-home snacks to help me hit my macros on the road and stay away from those fat-packed, super sugary, pre-packaged options. All of these can be mixed…
Choosing inconvenience
When you travel a lot, you pick convenience at {almost} any cost. Direct flight for $100 more? Done. Upgrading on a red eye to sleep better? Of course. A more expensive hotel closer to where I need to be? No brainer. Not this week. On Monday, I canceled my nonstop flight, gave up an extra…
Healthy Travel Snacks
As someone who feels like they live in airports, I understand the desire to have something to munch on while you wait on that seemingly endless layover. It’s easy to pick up a Diet Coke and bag of peanut M&Ms – but those snacks can put a serious dent in your wallet (#airportpricegouging) and leave you feeling worse…
The Guest Pass
Let’s be honest. Most hotel gyms suck. There are a few that are decent, a few that are amazing, and a lot more that are subpar. That leaves you with two options (well, really three, if you count skipping a workout as an option) to “do work” – figure it out with what you have…
The Bag
Soon after I started working with Ashley Leahy to get my eating habits back on track, I realized that relying on shelf-stable tuna packets and protein powders when I travel (which is every week) just wasn’t going to cut it. I turned to Instagram for a little fitspiration on which meal management system to buy….
TSA’s 3-1-1 Rule
If you’re like me, then checking a bag for a trip less than 5 days is a HUGE no-no. The last thing I want to do when I get to my destination is wait at baggage claim. I’m in a cab and off to the office. So, everything I bring has to comply with the…
