First, I’ll get to the part that I know you care about–that bit about the “free skincare”! If you provide a health tip that’s used on the Tone Up Challenge website, Dickinson’s will send you FREE 100% Natural Witch Hazel skin toner. Just leave your suggestions in the comment section below and you will be…
Tone Up Challenge!
Yesterday we shot the video for the Tone Up Challenge in NYC! The challenge is a 2 week program created by Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel and the Women’s Sports Foundation to promote a healthy lifestyle for women by encouraging exercise and excellent skincare.
I’m VERY excited to be working with both organizations. The Women’s Sports Foundation was founded by…
Spring Cleaning
Spring is almost here! I don’t know exactly how that happened so quickly (I think the 4 week December/January stint in the Southern Hemisphere certainly helped) , but I’m thrilled. Warm weather, longer days, and best of all, race season is right around the corner! Since it’s been awhile, a few housekeeping matters. . .
After…
Life is like. . .
Personally, I think Forest Gump had it only partially right with the “Life is like a box of choc-o-lates” quote. Sure, it’s true that you don’t ever know exactly what you’re going to get–after all, even a cartographer (that’s a map maker–I looked it up) can’t reasonably be expected to decipher those little diagrams that come…
This week, I had a date with Mr. T. Andy was pretty jealous. . .but not so jealous, I guess, seeing that I did give him plenty of opportunity to keep me company, instead. He declined.
Mr. T and I are pretty tight for just that reason–he never turns down a date. I wouldn’t describe him…
Merry Kwistmas!!
That’s Merry Kiwi Christmas–otherwise known as Christmas Eve for you in the Western Hemisphere! We are a day ahead down here, so Andy and I celebrated today with some friends in Plimmerton, a small beach town on the North Island.
This morning, I gifted myself with a perfect 2 hour run. I spent the first hour…
Epic trekking
Here are a few pictures from the 4 days just spent hiking on the Milford trek. It’s one of NZ’s more famous, if not most famous, hikes and it definitely did not disappoint. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking–mountain peaks, snow melt fed waterfalls, and wildflowers around each and every bend. It was so stunning, I…
Adventureland
Just a quick note from Queenstown–adventure capital of the world. If you’re looking for adrenaline rushes, this is the place. The world’s highest bungee jump, jet boats, a giant hilltop luge. . .the people here are a little left of normal.
Even the endurance athletes here find ways to take it to the extreme. It’s not…
Free Food & Beautiful Views
It’s been a relaxing few days in Matarangi, a sleepy beach town in the Coramandel region of NZ. We‘ve spent the days on beach walks, tennis, and spectacular hikes, with a bit of lazing about in between. Here’s the view of the beach by our place at dusk:
A few pics from recent hikes:
I know…cheesy

Kiwi Land
I know, I know, it’s the Kiwi bird, not the Kiwi fruit, but these were much easier to find.
Andy and I just touched down in New Zealand, where we will be spending the next 4.5 weeks on honeymoon. Our plans are pretty loose, but I’m pretty optimistic that it will be a month full of…
