I never thought I would write an article like this, as someone that’s never been one to spend money on candles, diffusers, etc. But being a bit OCD in how clean and organized I like my home; a smart diffuser helps me scratch that itch. And the ones that I like most, because of how

I’m a pretty average guy with the exception that I’m a bit of a clean freak. I don’t like cluttered rooms, unorganized closets, or bathrooms that haven’t been cleaned for more than a week.

In the world of rock climbing, I don’t see many of the highly skilled casual climbers at my local gym constantly lifting weights.

Last week I shared different ways that help me have enough energy each day without coffee or energy drinks. In that article, I included salt drinks and noted how drinking plain water throughout the day dilutes the different nutrients our mind and body need. Salt drinks, like Raw’s Replenish electrolyte powder, prevents this by both

If you’re like me, and you don’t want to be reliant on a specific substance for energy, then maybe some of these things can help you. Although, we’re all made different and some things that work for me, might not work for you. Also, I’m not a doctor, psychologist, coach, or any sort of health

I’ve waited all year to try the Altra Lone Peak 9s. I have a pair of the Lone Peak 7s, and they’ve been my best pair of trail running shoes for the last couple years. However, their retirement is long overdue. I’ve ran at least 400 miles in them, and they look like it. Coming
