Hello. I am just Grace. I hope you didn't come for photoshop or #makeupeveryday. This is about as real as it can get on the internet. I don't believe in moderation. I am a fitness junkie, sun & sea lover, and a former athlete making her way in the world.

Courage
Fear
Get out and adventure
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." - Nelson Mandela

My Things
Don't touch my stuff!
I don't have a lot of "things" that I love. Relationships and experiences are my everything. But what I do have, I love completely.
​
My dog Charlie is 15 years old and still going strong with his inability to swim beyond wading depths. #ilovepuppies
​
I still sleep with my very first baby blanket which is now over 26 years old.
Some day I am going to find the most perfect beach cruiser bicycle... #goals
I AM A CLONE

​
Growing up as a twin I always fought hard for my own individuality. You would never find us wearing the same outfits or attitudes.
​
Things change when your parents stop buying your clothes for you. Now I am more thankful than ever that I get to steal all of my sisters clothes. It's just a lot harder now that we don't live together anymore.

Sophie... move here please.
DEAR CHARLOTTE
YOU ARE PUTTING A SERIOUS DAMPER ON MY SUNDAY BRUNCHES

DID I MENTION I AM ADDICTED TO ALL KINDS OF FITNESS?
SPEAK TO THE FISH
I used to swim fast.ish.
In college, my job was swimming the 100 meter and 200 meter backstroke and butterfly. I was a "mid distance" fish on a Division 1 stage.
From Chicago, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and now Charlotte, I've moved around a little bit. I tend to fly by the seat of my pants and rarely turn down a good opportunity for adventure. I’ve found a great spot in Charlotte to call home.
​
After falling off of the fitness bus post college, I’ve decided to tackle health head on and try the best of what the Queen City has to offer. Don’t know until ya try - so I’m trying. And what the heck, why not try and make this adventure something useful and fun for others while I’m at it.
