I like to think that I'm a pretty adventurous person. I'll pretty much wear anything, try any trend and my love off all things colorful occasionally has me dressing like a walking bag of Skittles. I wear it. I own it! But I realized a few months ago that a lot of things scare me or just flat out give me anxiety. Are these things "scary," or have I just built up the fear in my mind? It's the latter.A few weeks ago I went on a trip to Nashville with Chevy and I had to seriously ask myself, "did I make a huge mistake???" Though Chevy was our sponsor, there was a fitness component to the trip, including CrossFit and kayaking. Um, CrossFit absolutely freaks me out. The workout just seems so hardcore. I like working out, but those workouts just seem too intense. And as far as kayaking? I can't swim and have a serious fear of large bodies of water. So this trip would have normally been something I said no-way to, but instead I said, let's do it!Chevrolet Silverado CrossFit Event - Nashville

vintage-seltzer-fab-fit-frugal I'm a recovering soda addict. There, I said it! I know it sounds funny, but I really did have an addiction to soda. A few years ago I could easily finish off a six-pack or two liter in a single day. But now, I rarely touch the stuff. Instead of quitting cold turkey, I made a switch that's much healthier: seltzer water!
I used to think of seltzer as the flavorless old people drink my aunt used to consume, but it's helped curb my soda crazings. And one brand I gravitate toward is Vintage Seltzer.
Keep reading to see why it's an awesome soda substitute, the refreshing mixed drink I make with seltzer water {great for any upcoming holiday parties} and even a discount you can use!

Fab Fit Frugal, looking fly on a dime

For years I've heard about the health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar. Though I use ACV when I mix it with my bentonite clay mask, I had never consumed the liquid. And that's mainly because the smell is just so strong.
But I finally bit the bullet and started making an apple cider vinegar cocktail and drinking it has now become a part of my morning routine.

Fab Fit and Frugal, looking fly on a dime
Like most people, I'm stressed. And lately I seem to be really stressed. Between running the site, freelance writing and launching a few projects, my time and patience is stretched thin. A few years ago I went on an amazing 10-day meditation retreat, but when I can't get away, it's important for me to find blissful moments wherever I am.
Lately, I've found bliss at my desk. I know, that's a bit ironic seeing as how work has been stressing me out, but a few key pieces make all the difference.

Affordable healthy food, Target cheap eats
I love Target. That's not a surprise. From their clothes to being obsessed with their infamous dollar bins, I always walk out of the store with something amazing. And I'm really fortunate that my local Target has a grocery section. This has become my go-to spot when I need some last minute items for dinner or a light bite.
And though I tend to find myself in the ice cream aisle {I'm obsessed with Talenti's sea salt caramel gelato!}, the store is stocked full of fresh, healthy eats.
People often say eating healthy strains the purse straps and it can depending on where you shop, but during a recent Target visit, I racked up on four bags worth of healthy and wallet friendly food.
