Last October, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Vietnam and some of my dearest friends. It had been years since I had taken an international trip and I was excited but also a little nervous. It was the trip of a lifetime. After much consideration, below are the top 5 things that I miss about Vietnam. [Read more…]

Beautycounter Spotlight – Caitlin Van Dusen
Hi everyone!
Today I thought I’d do something a little different. As I am sure I am not the only one to have heard something about Beautycounter, I thought I’d let my friend & fellow sorority sister, Caitlin, share a little bit about why she decided to be a consultant for Beautycounter. We were able to catch up for lunch (yay Mexican!) when I was in Dallas this past weekend.
Get Change – In Memory of Chris Moore
Today my husband, Tommy, is taking the reins and is guest-posting today after a 3+ year hiatus to discuss someone who influenced and motivated him as an athlete and individual.

Violet’s Corner: Dog Days in the DC Area
Hi folks!
As you can probably glean from the title of this post, my latest and greatest guest blogger is Ms. V herself (our adorable pit bull). We both thought it would be fun to share some of her favorite things she likes to do in the area (as well as some other suggestions) in case any of her peers (and their owners) are looking for things to do.

Eatonville
Many thanks to Tammy who did this guest blog post. I was supposed to have dined with Tammy, Miki, and our respective significant others (Tommy too) at Eatonville on Friday night for our monthly 14th Street Eating Tour, but couldn’t because of my grandmother. While I had previously dined at Eatonville before, no one else had.
Another month comes which means another Jasian dinner on 14th Street. (We also affectionately call this tour the “Jasian dinner” – part of two Asians and one Jew. [Read more…]
Blog Lovin’
I would say I became a blog reader (and then eventually a blogger myself a little while later) about a year ago. I’m not sure what really prompted this new hobby, but I have become an avid follower of many blogs and so enjoy reading each and every one of their posts when I have time.
Here are just a few I highly recommend you read: [Read more…]

DCBFit is Open!
Tommy is back with another blog post, essentially a follow-up from his first post!
Ladies and gentleman the wait is finally over!
DCBFit opened doors for its first Muay Thai Kickboxing class on Tuesday night. Having traveled as far as Northern Thailand to train in Muay Thai, I’ve been dreaming of the day when a place to train would be opening right here in our very building! [Read more…]
Another Darn Day in Dakar
Another guest blogger, Anna! Anna currently lives in Dakar, Senegal, working for a San Francisco based nonprofit, Kiva. Kiva is a leader in peer-to-peer lending via the internet, to and from people in all parts of the world.
Today marked one of those mornings where my emotions ran wild; I’m guessing, I’m hoping, oh please — tell me we all know the sort? Or maybe I’m just a total March hare.
In the time span of 45 minutes, I went from… feeling unflappable, invincible, and filled with gumption to tackle any and all inevitable nonsense the day would throw at me, to… unfathomably indignant, and… shortly thereafter, tears which were unreasonably pathetic but impossible to hold back.
