It is not fun to worry about money. I’ve been fortunate throughout my “adulthood” that I can afford rent, food, entertainment, and everything else, but from time to time, my spending gets away from me and I suddenly feel tight for cash. It’s probably because my roommate won’t pay rent. Silly kitty. I have been a…
Lately, I’ve been asked a lot of questions about this “coach” thing I do, and why I even do it. Let me first tell a little bit of my story, and define what the word “coach” means. I started trying out the 21 Day Fix almost a year ago. It was the first time I…
Over the weekend, I finally did something that has been on my “goal” list for a while. I sent a newsletter out to 50 people. It doesn’t sound like much, but I was pretty excited about it. I’ve been working as a Beachbody Coach for a while now, and when I first started out, I…
Once I started to focus on fitness and my health, I started buying new technology, downloading apps, writing things down on paper (what’s that?)…all of it. I was trying to find the perfect blend of wearable tech and apps for my phone that satisfied my needs. I had always said that I wanted a piece…
I just read this article from the Huffington post, written by someone who claimed they were eating a balanced diet, who then describes that she was drinking more alcohol “than usual” and was upset to find she couldn’t go out to restaurants as much as she used to.

My financial situation is always something that sits in the back of my head. I’m really fortunate, though, to always be “fine.” I never have $0.00 staring at me on my bank statements, I don’t get nervous about making my rent, I can have fun with friends, and have even started to pile up a…
Thanks to my newest purchase, I’ve really focused on money more than I ever have before. I’ve been putting each cost under a microscope, trying to figure out if it’s something I really need to be buying. I was super proud of myself this past week, I spent under $30 on groceries and still managed to…
Each month, right after I submit my rent check, I go into a small panic about money. Each month I do the same thing. I total my income, and subtract each monthly payment I know I have to make: Internet Student Loans Rent Check Car Insurance Gym Membership (why I still pay for this I…
Is there some sort of store where I can trade in my adult points for prizes? Maybe a faster internet speed or more calories per day? No? Well I’ll just sit here with my adult points burning a hole in my pocket, then. I will admit, I still lean on my parents when it comes…
I think I need to stop categorizing everything I do as “adult points” now, because really, I’m an adult. As much as I hate to admit it. And, I still have no idea what I can cash my adult points in for. I hope it’s something nice. Or brownies. This past weekend, I had a…
