It's hard to find gym sets and accessories that fit well midsized gals like me, here are a couple of my recos and I hope you SLAY <3

Running before sunrise used to feel like playing Frogger with half-asleep commuters — I couldn't see the sidewalk cracks and they couldn't see me. After one close call with a turning SUV, I rebuilt my entire early morning kit piece by piece. If you're a before-dawn runner who white-knuckles every intersection, this took me two seasons of trial and error so you can skip straight to the stuff that works.

You signed up for a rec league or agreed to play with a friend, and now you're standing in a sporting goods aisle completely lost. You don't need pro-level anything. You need stuff that works, doesn't cost a fortune, and won't make you look like you wandered onto the wrong court. I spent my first year buying the wrong things so you can skip that part.

You hit 10,000 steps on your wrist but your phone says 6,200. Sound familiar? If you've been lied to by a cheap pedometer or a tracker that counts arm waving as walking, this list is for anyone who actually wants accurate data without spending rent money.

The best for short walks or long marathons

A 38 mile trail around the perimeter of San Francisco, this was my most daunting challenge of the walking series yet. It took 2 days but we made it. Every route, map, shoe, fuel, etc that made it possible is linked here 🍊

Spent years hauling a 6-pound pack on what should have been easy day trips — my shoulders screamed by mile two and I started dreading trails I used to love. If you're the person rubbing your neck in the parking lot after every hike, this is the lineup that finally let me enjoy the walk instead of counting down to the car. Took me two seasons and a lot of returns to narrow it down so you don't have to.

Walking felt like a chore for months — same route, same boredom, same sore feet. I almost quit entirely until I slowly swapped out my gear and routine piece by piece. Built for anyone who wants to walk more but keeps finding excuses not to. Took me a full year of trial and error so you can skip straight to the stuff that actually works.

As someone who frequently goes to pilates, barre, hot yoga, and cycling, these are things I always carry in my bag

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a family camping trip, or a longer outdoor adventure, this collection includes practical camping gear and accessories to help you stay comfortable, organised, and prepared. I’ve gathered products that can make camping easier, from shelter and cooking essentials to lighting, storage, and outdoor comfort. Whether you’re an experienced camper or heading into nature for the first time, these are items worth considering for your next adventure.

Best for those who are out in the wilderness. Designed for preppers, but generally good for campers, hikers, and anyone who will be in scenarios where modern day technology and assets are unusable

Small, useful camping gifts under $25 that actually get used at the campsite. Headlamps, fire starters, sporks, and little trail treats for the outdoorsy family members (and kids) on your list.

All the things I need to make life easier during club sports travel season.

Everything you need to maintain, protect, and organize your camping chairs - especially when your furry friends love to join the adventure. These affordable upgrades extend the life of your outdoor seating and make hauling gear a breeze.

If you haven't heard of DeCathlon, let me put you on! They have so many great outdoors and active goods that are super affordable (compared to many US-sports stores). The US online store doesn't have things like yoga mats and massage balls – which I own from them as well. But for jackets and backpacks they have a lot and they're been so useful on my travels over the years. 100% recommend getting some gear from them if you haven't tried yet. There are also stores in many countries like Taiwan, Colombia, and more so if you are traveling you should visit them in person!

I have recently fallen in love with heated yoga studios! It’s hard to know exactly what you need when you’re new to it, and so I wanted to make it a little easier and provide a guide! My favorite classes to take are yoga, yoga sculpt, and strength classes. I wanted to provide clothes that support, hold up in the wash, and are good quality!

Riding home in the dark used to genuinely scare me — cars drifting into the bike lane, no shoulder, and that one stretch with zero streetlights. I spent two years buying cheap lights that died mid-ride or barely lit up five feet ahead. This is everything I actually use now, tested through rain, winter blackouts, and that terrifying rural highway detour. If you bike commute or ride past sunset even once a week, save yourself the trial and error.

If you've been doing clamshells and fire hydrants for months and still can't feel your glutes fire during squats — same. I spent way too long going through the motions with flimsy bands and zero mind-muscle connection. This is everything that turned my warm-up from a checkbox into the reason my lifts actually improved. For anyone who's tired of wondering why their quads do all the work.

These are my tried & true fitness essentials - gym bag staples, workout accessories, and little things that make workouts easier. If it’s on this list, I personally use it!

Took a lot of cold nights to figure this out so you don't have to.

This is for anyone with a backyard, a competitive streak, and zero patience for broken birdies.

Spent two years hauling a duffel bag of loose pots and pans to every campsite like some kind of outdoor hoarder. Lids rattling, handles poking through the bag, spatula somehow always at the bottom.

Walking into a climbing gym for the first time wearing running shoes and chalk-less hands was humbling. I burned through rental fees, destroyed my forearms, and had no clue what to bring.

Dragging a yoga mat, water bottle, towel, and blocks to class while also trying to lock your car and not drop your keys is a whole workout before the workout.

everything for a sensory-friendly hockey season, for the kid on the ice, the sibling in the stands and the mom freezing on the bleachers. the bag basics follow dana vento's hockey mom bag list and the tria sports medicine (healthpartners) hockey bag essentials. the bottle pick is a cage-friendly long straw from pwice's hockey bottle roundup. the stands picks borrow from the sensory kits junior hockey teams like the prince george cougars hand out (noise-blocking ear protection first). notes flag noise, scent, light and texture. rinks are loud and cold, this helps :)
