  • Fighting Gravity Fitness Class Recap

    Saturday afternoon, a handful of us Richmond bloggers headed over to Fighting Gravity Fitness for an aerial yoga class. To be honest, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I’d seen some photos, but it’s always hard to tell if people are just making it look easy. I thought maybe we’d just be sitting in one of the fabric hammock things, trying not to fall out. As it turned out though, the class was awesome, challenging, and full of quite a bit of laughing. We had such a good time learning a few skills and taking some pictures along the way!

    flighting gravityHUGE thank you to Fighting Gravity Fitness for letting us come try it out! Be sure to follow them on Facebook and try out a class if you’re in Richmond! (And FYI- their monthly memberships are very reasonably priced and include other classes like barre and yoga!) Our instructor, who owns the studio, was awesome. She explained all the moves, showed us how to do them, and encouraged us when we were a little scared to jump!

  • Virginia Wine Expo (2/17-2/22)

    Super important question:

    Do you have your ticket to the 8th annual Virginia Wine Expo, an annual event that brings a bunch of local Virginia wineries together under one roof?

    If not, then you should hurry up and get a ticket! Did we mention it’s for a good cause? The proceeds help support Richmond CenterStage!

    Yep. Wine for a cause. Obviously, there is amazing wine, but you also won’t go hungry- there are over 30 local, up-and-coming and award-winning chefs serving up delicious fare at different parts of the Expo.

    If you’re in Richmond (or really, if you’re somewhere near Richmond) then you should pick up tickets sooner rather than later! The event is February 17th-22nd and tickets are on sale now! Don’t worry, it’s inside the Richmond Convention Center, so you don’t have to worry about the weather! You’ll be nice and cozy while sipping on a Cabernet.

    Hope to see you all there!

  • Virginia Blogger Recipe Round Up [January]

    I love reading so many awesome blog posts on our weekly Friday Favorites link up and so many of them make me hungry! There are tons of talented food bloggers across the state, so I thought I’d share some of the recipes that I’ve been popular on our link ups lately:


    Hosting a brunch? Try this sausage & veggie egg bake from The Kitcheneer! Would you believe that a whole serving is barely over 200 calories? Yes. It’s true.

    If you’re hungry for something sweet, try this homemade pie crust from TheDanaReneeWay and fill it with whatever pie filling your heart desires. Bonus: you can also brag to your friends that you made it form scratch.

    healthy cookie dough bites

    I shared my healthy cookie dough bites a few weeks ago and I’ve had multiple friends text me pictures of the cookie dough bites they’ve made!

    This is probably the most colorful salad I’ve ever seen. Isn’t it beautiful? This Beet, Tangerine and Blood Orange Salad from Bourbon and Brown Sugar is proof that salads in the winter can be just as delicious as summertime salads!

    For those of you sticking with a Whole 30 diet, Susan from 2 Cats and Chloe has you covered with these Whole 30-approved wings!

    Don’t forget to join us on Fridays for our weekly link up! It’s open to all types of bloggers across Virginia!
