Detailing our quick weekend jaunt to Universal Studios Florida. Read all posts in this report here. Pat and I began our whirlwind Universal Studios Florida trip in unusual way: with a 3:30am flight. Hey, it was super cheap! Unfortunately, Frontier airplanes are NOT comfortable for sleepers, but we managed to snag some shuteye on the way to Orlando and landed...

So you know how I make you look at my planned outfits every time I go on a WDW trip because I’m a Disney dandy? An investigation has yielded that I can do it for a Universal Studios trip too. And so I shall! I know what you’re thinking: you own Universal-themed clothing? Well, as it turns out, I...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: And so I shall! Ladies and gentlemen, a SURPRISE LAST-MINUTE ORLANDO TRIP has fallen into my lap. I’ve always wanted to take a surprise last-minute Orlando trip! Alas, no Disney this time around, but our impetus is no slouch – we’re off to Universal Studios Florida this weekend. Why? Well, Pat...

A. I do! I have the most KT Tape! A couple weeks ago I got an email from KT Tape asking me to fill out a survey, the reward for which would be a 50% discount code. Sold! I knocked that survey out and, the moment my code arrived, I pounced. But there was one conundrum: how much KT...

Okay. Okay. I shouldn’t even be telling you about my new running shorts. I’m only ruining it for myself. But I just can’t help myself – they’re so goooood!* * And, to be clear, totally unsponsored. I’ve historically been a capris girl, even in the summer. I have Thighs and a Butt and I don’t like Chafing. But it’s...

Since I moved to Puerto Rico I don’t have as many cross-training opportunities as I once did. Well, I say that – all I ever used to do was ballet. I’ve actually been doing some weight training and resistance exercises in addition to running, so you could argue that I’m doing more cross-training, maybe? But I miss ballet. Not to...

I’ve seen the question pop up many a time in the runDisney fan Facebook groups: “I’m registered for just the half marathon, but I want to go Goofy! I’m registered for Goofy, but I want to be Dopey! Can I upgrade to a race challenge?” Well, I lived that very tale, and I’m here to tell you that it’s...

Okay, I’ve taken some time to think about it, and I believe I’m ready to weigh in on this whole Mulan remake controversy.* Basically: yes, I have a problem with it. No, it’s not exactly what you think. * Because you’ve doubtless all been waiting to hear what an obscure white girl blogger has to say on the matter. So...
