In the spirit of this newfound fashion obsession, I thought I would write a post with a mood board of some of my favorite athleisure style combos as well as share with everyone the amazing new sneakers I made from the new shoe collection at Shoes of Prey that go perfectly with all my athleisure looks. What I love about Shoes Of Prey is that they have so many different choices at your fingertips when designing your own shoe, the quality is top-notch, and making your own shoe is such a unique experience (especially the perk of getting to say “me” when your friends asked what designer you’re wearing). I definitely recommend checking out Shoes of Prey if you’re looking for a quality and chic fashion sneaker. With winter coming up, I think a chunky cardigan or stylish coat is the perfect way to add instant style to your athleisure look.

I ended up coming across a women-only gym called Total Woman Gym & Spa and decided to try the free three-day guest pass they let you use before deciding to actually join or not. In honor of my gym-aversary I thought I would dedicate a post to why going to an all-women’s gym is so great. Most people really are in the gym to work out, but for the times when you get the gawks and stares, or the occasionally creepy man trying to come up and hit on you, an all women gym is seriously an appealing and very welcome alternative. There’s just something really inspiring about a gym that stands for empowering and strengthening women, and working out with a group of other women who are all about that goal.

Matcha has some amazing health benefits, including speeding up your metabolism and helping to burn calories, boosting your energy, delivering a burst of antioxidants, aiding in concentration, and helping to naturally detoxify your body (to name just a few of the good ones). Since my addiction to Starbucks iced green tea lattes was getting slightly (or more than slightly) out of hand, I decided to try a shot at my own iced matcha latte recipe, and I was not disappointed. Note: I love the matcha taste, but if it’s too strong you can cut it in half to one teaspoon 1 cup of almond milk (you can use any kind of milk you prefer) Step 1 It’s so much cheaper to make than running to Starbucks every day, and I genuinely enjoy this homemade version as much as the designer coffee brand.

This has pretty much been my life over the summer as I work a summer office job and prepare for law school (and afterwards it’s time to enter the real world, gasp! ). I decided to come up with a list of pros and cons of working an office job for those of you on the job search, or even for those who already have an office job and have never really thought of this topic in regards to your own work. You get to go home at the same time every day Since offices have set hours, your schedule remains constant, so you can always rely on going home at the same time every day. It can be pesky to schedule important appointments Trying to schedule a doctor’s appointment that doesn’t conflict with your work schedule can be a huge headache.
