Hello and welcome back to my Thoughts While Watching series, where we dig up very-to-kinda old Disney media and react to it in real time. Culture then, meet culture now. FIGHT! (Kidding, kidding. Mostly. 😜) This week we’re going back to what I once called the ugliest decade, and I stand by it: the ’80s! Not that nothing positive...

I’ve never been a candle girlie as such. I like a nice smell as much as the next person! Yet I don’t collect or anything. Still, candles have become a necessity since I moved to Puerto Rico.

I can’t scroll past three posts on Instagram without coming across some new training or racing tidbit, whether it be anecdotal from a running enthusiast or professional from a coach/physical therapist/nutritionist/etc. What can I say; the algorithm gets me.

I’ll tell you why I signed up for the Princess Half Marathon Weekend Fairytale Challenge this year. It wasn’t the featured princesses – it was the addition of the Disney villains. Yes, it’s Princess Week, but let’s take things in an alternate direction, shall we? IT’S GOOD TO BE BAD I know I’m not alone in this. It’s hardly...
