I’m recycling old posts today, blasts from the past if you will.
Collecting posts that had a lot of hits and views on the good ol’ blog that I think may be of some value to new readers who haven’t had the chance to look through them. I’ve categorized them into beauty, fitness and general blogging tips.

Make Up For Ever cream blush
Make Up For Ever launched a universal cream blush that will suit any skin tone. I use cream blushes all year round, but they are especially perfect for summer to achieve a healthy glow on the apples of your cheeks.
Self-tanning routine

How I became a rock climber
The history of my 19 years and counting, climbing hobby.
Why I gave up paleo
I completed a 30 day paleo challenge at my local CrossFit box. Won first place for accomplishing the most. 10 pounds gone on my small frame, yet I gave it up. Why?
Accomplished Fitness Milestones
Rock Climbing, CrossFit, Hiking the rockies — these are a few of my accomplished fitness milestones.
Lululemon vs. Costco workout clothing
Are we paying through the nose for a brand name, or are we paying for quality?

How to stay organized when you have a blog
Have a schedule, know when to photograph, de-clutter your workspace and more key points about staying organized.
Taking blog photos indoors
Sometimes it’s chilly, or windy outside and you’re only free one day a week to take blog photos. Make the most out of it with knowing how and when to take your blog photos.
Branding and Blog Re-Design
Constructive criticism was difficult to hear, but it made me evaluate the look of my blog. I redesigned it in April, 2014.
I’ll be taking the remainder of the week off from blogging as I’ll be attending the BlogHer’14 conference in San Jose from July 24-26. I’ll be back early next week with a recap or two.

You know I love those nail photos.
love this round up of posts! i read the one about lululemon vs costco workout clothing, and could make a similar comparison between stuff from victorias secret vs old navy, but i have to say….i love my ($60) sport tights from VS and they are definitely higher quality than the ($15) ones from ON!
YES. These posts are going to be great time filler for tonight!
Deidre recently posted..Fashion Fits Everyone || Volume 34
@Betsy: The only reason I compared pricey Lululemon to inexpensive Costco, is because I mentioned in that post that Lululemon’s quality has gone down significantly after outsourcing from making their clothing from Vancouver, BC Canada to … China.
