Happy Friday!
In celebration of an amazing week full of growth and new beginnings, I have a sweet giveaway and discount for you today from my friend Erin McDermott.
Erin and I have been working together for over two years to support each other in pursuing our goals and passions (read about how we connected in this post). Erin lives here in Charlotte and makes really incredible jewelry from her home studio. Her work has been featured in Southern Living, Maratha Stewart Weddings, Style Me Pretty and Garden & Gun just to name a few.
Not only is Erin creative and talented, she’s also unbelievably warm, thoughtful and generous. I have been so happy to see her business flourish over the last couple of years.
She’s been so kind to offer regular giveaways for my readers and we have another one today!
I stopped by to catch up with Erin a few weeks ago and she sent me home with this beautiful Coconut Wood Gold Disk Necklace. It’s a great piece to add to my winter wardrobe. The dark wood and gold are so gorgeous together.
And today we’re giving one away today to a lucky reader as well as offering a 25% discount on the necklace for anyone who wants to purchase it. Use the code PBR at checkout.
In the spirit of my encouragement to start a gratitude practice, leave a comment telling me one thing you’re grateful for today to enter the giveaway.
One entry per reader. U.S. residents only. Giveaway closes Sunday at midnight EST.

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
