My Minimalism Style, Athleisure Edition: Elevating a Leggings Outfit
Leggings are pretty much my go-to on the days when I am not at work. Just can't beat 'em- they are comfortable, warm, and ideal for playing with a toddler.

So in an effort to avoid the whole "sporty spice" look, I opted to go more of the athleisure route. My chambray shirts have been getting a lot more wear these days (more on why I love it here), and this was a great opportunity to Read More

Work it
For me, winter workouts can get boring and mundane since I'm usually stuck inside to do them since it's so cold outside and it gets dark so early...wa waaa! I try to keep variety in my workouts by mixing it up with running routines on the treadmill, Jillian Michaels DVDs, challenging cardio/toning workout circuits I see on Pinterest and the occasional group exercise class for some human interaction. But sometimes I just need a little pick-me-up to keep me going...like new workout gear! The Read More
