So I am pretty excited, because I am running my first official 5K this month! It’s the Culver City 5K/10K on June 15, 2014, which is perfect because it’s literally like half a mile from my apartment. I’ve walked 5Ks before in Cleveland, but never went into them with the intention of running. Until now. I’ve […]

GetFitWithLynds is now The Balanced Brunette
I am sooo incredibly excited to announce that GetFitWithLynds is now The Balanced Brunette! I’m sure it has been a little confusing for some (even myself!), since the name change is so sudden and different, but I am beyond excited for this next chapter! The reason behind the name change: When my blog was GetFitWithLynds, […]
My New Favorite Store: Athleta at Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks
I have never had the desire to buy high-end fitness apparel, and hadn’t even heard of brands like Athleta or Lululemon until I moved to Los Angeles. Where I grew up (just West of Cleveland, OH), that just wasn’t a thing. Then I moved to LA, and realized I am worth the more luxurious athletic […]

Emily at Katie K Active and Taffy Activewear asked me if I was going to BlogFest, and I had absolutely no […]

We have fun with everything we do. This moment was actually us falling in love. So amazing having that in a photo. Quick back story […]
Art For My Living Room
I have decided to decorate my living room (it’s L-shaped, pretty big) in everything LA and California. That might be silly, considering I live in LA, but I am obsessed with it! I found this print at orangeandpark.com ( or click the photo to go to the direct website) about a year ago, and I […]
The Importance of Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone; How Moving to Los Angeles Changed My Life
It has been exactly one year since I moved to Los Angeles from Cleveland, OH. February 12. The journey I have been on since last Feb. 12 has been the most emotional, yet most rewarding journey I’ve experienced thus far. When visiting LA that previous November, I found a career opportunity doing something I love […]

It is a two day event where we learn from the best health coaches and business builders around the country on how to improve in our business and personal lives. Every three months, there is a BIG event. This event (JanSpec) […]
