    Last holiday season was my first time making homemade eggnog, and (coming from someone who didn't think she liked eggnog) it was pretty good. Which makes it very tempting to give this a go.

    I got into fitness when I realized that I wanted to be a better version of myself. I distinctly remember one evening when it really hit me. I accepted those things I couldn't change about myself, and started working towards bettering what I could/wanted to improve in myself. For both my physical and mental health's sake.

    I had always danced a variety of disciplines (ballet was my favorite), and that was definitely where my passion was, but it was around that time that I started to feel like dancing wasn't enough to get me where I wanted to be. So I started to experiment with a variety of activities: swimming, running, weight lifting...a bit of everything.

    Nowadays you're much more likely to find me in the gym or rockclimbing than in the dance studio I considered my second home for 16 years of my life. However, I give credit to dance for shaping me into a fitness minded individual, and helping me pursue other activities through the body awareness it fostered in me.
