This is the summer of shorts. Because I don’t have to go into the office at the moment, and because it also happens to be very hot, shorts are my go to. I have been wearing plenty of running shorts (I find them to be the comfiest), but after wearing […]
Some like it hot. But not me. I’d rather be cold. So when summer comes along, I’m looking for ways to get outside, sure, but more importantly, I’m searching for the best ways to beat the heat. Staying cool all summer is about more than jumping in a pool (especially […]

Most of the time these days, I’m not going far. But where I am going is always outside, and I’m trying to come as prepared as possible. That doesn’t mean just bringing a face mask and hand sanitizer, although those things are important. No, for me, when I’m going to […]
