This concept is just killer. I am always looking for new, fun and unique ways to work out. Unfortunately, bobbing on an elliptical machine for 45 minutes just does not do it for me. I get bored and restless at about the 6 minute mark. Cue Derby Lite! It’s a workout based on roller derby, only without the aggressive hits. Each 2-hour workout includes off-skates conditioning, dynamic warm-ups, on-skates skills and drills, upper body strength exercises and cool-down stretching (aka; not boring). Unfortunately, Derby Lite is not offered in Miami (wah!), but you can submit a form requesting that your city be added. I did, and you should too!
I absolutely love this look for spring/summer. I’ve been seeing it pop up all over blogs, magazines and even on one of E’s many fashion reports. You can never go wrong with classic black and white stripes (at least in my mind), and when paired with a bold pant (preferably skinny) something special happens. It kind of reminds me of a modern-day Audrey Hepburn! The look above is courtesy of Zara (pants: $59.90, top: $25.90), and aching to be added to my wardrobe.
I don’t know about you, but my shower is so barren. Sure, it has a cute little ruffled curtain, but that’s where the fun ends. The rest is just covered in body washes, shampoos and conditioners. A regular snore fest. That’s why this cute squid shower organizer spoke to me! It adds the perfect dose of whimsy and fun to any shower – whether kids are involved or not!
My jaw just dropped when I saw this amazing fan-made Harry Potter print while surfing Pinterest. Wowza! Harry’s infamous lightning bolt is cluttered with various notable icons from the series in the most perfect way. I’d like to hug whoever created this. I also plan on printing and framing it somewhere in our house (cheap art FTW).
Oh my. So sweet! How adorbs is this Boston Terrier pillow from Areaware? I can’t think of a better way to honor the best dog breed in the world. Offended? C’mon…you know it’s true.

Love that Harry Potter print! Huge HP fan here. Also, the outfit is adorable, H&M also sells bold striped sweaters.

I want a shower squid too! And Derby Lite sounds like fun….I need to learn to skate! On that note, I know of a group of girls that are starting up a Roller Derby team here in Miami. Would you be interested? (Or, like me, are you afraid of getting hit? lol.) I believe their first meeting is next week.

It sounds kind of fun, but I haven’t been on skates in awhile and am also scared of being hit. Would I be the only beginner?

I bought a roller derby workout video…no skates required. If you look up the heart attacks you’ll find it 🙂

Oh also, you don’t hit for a while in derby if you’re part of a rec league. Gotta work your way up and buy the insurance.

Odd coincidence, I bumped into some roller derby chicks last night. It was a scene straight out of whip it, them handing out flyers and asking me if I wanted to try out.
