Paddle boarding Watson Lake in Prescott… with a brand-new ISLE inflatable stand-up paddle board!

July 8, 2024 August 23, 2024 Randi

It took half a bottle of sunscreen, one of Ryan’s hats, a big pair of polarized sunglasses and a long-sleeved sun shirt, BUT zero traces of sunburn following this weekend’s 100-degree paddle boarding adventure at Watson Lake.

Cherry almond smoothie

July 5, 2024 July 3, 2024 Randi

I’ve been on a major smoothie kick lately.

Obviously. It’s summer! What’s not to love about an icy cold blend of sweet and tart fruit?

A weekend (back) in Chicago (I feel it)…

July 2, 2024 July 15, 2024 Randi

I hope you started singing the TikTok song out loud because it’s been stuck in my head all weekend.

ANYWAY.

I just got back from a quick weekend trip to Chicago, where I had the chance to see some of my best friends, visit some of my old hang outs and relive my 20s.

Making yoga playlists (tips and tricks)

June 26, 2024 June 13, 2024 Randi

I absolutely love making playlists for my yoga classes.

One of the benefits of working at YogaSix is that because the chain has a little bit more of a fitness-feel to it, I can go crazy with fun, upbeat, modern music when I’m planning soundtracks for my classes.

On repeat: Actual office-appropriate spring workwear

June 19, 2024 June 19, 2024 Randi

There’s a trend on TikTok that I’m kind of obsessed with.

(Quick note: When I say “TikTok,” I actually mean “Instagram Reels” — I’m old and don’t have a TikTok so I just wait and see all the trending TikToks a week later when they show up on Instagram, whoops.)

If you haven’t seen it, it’s basically influencers who have never stepped foot in an office giving “workwear advice,” and then different influencers making fun of said previous influencers.

Our favorite adventure dog gear: Hiking and backpacking gear for huskies (and other outdoor dogs)

June 14, 2024 April 25, 2025 Randi

Ryan and I love huskies.

When Ryan first adopted Yukon years ago, I thought he was crazy. I would have much rather had a golden retriever (I grew up with goldens, and my sister has one now), or an Aussie.

But, not only did Yukon grow on me — I fell in love with him. Not only was he sassy, stubborn, independent and goofy, he was also so spirited and high-energy! He had a big, bold personality and a love of adventures.

I came around to adoring our husky so, so much that, when Yukon sadly died, getting another husky was a no-brainer.

Which is how we ended up adopting Ochi.

One of the best parts of having a super active breed is being able to take it on adventures. We never hesitated to take Yukon on all the adventures, and we are doing the same for Ochi!
