My name is Sarah, and this is what I look like when I’m all glammed up and perfectly styled.

Most of the time, however, I look a little bit different than this. Sadly, I don’t often leave my house in a bedazzled evening gown. I tend to go for leggings, sneakers, and comfy sweaters instead. My hair is usually hanging in a ponytail, and my daily makeup routine stops at moisturizer.

I’m a research professional, a Pure Barre addict, a dessert lover, a beginning runner, and a voracious reader. I am a native New Yorker living in the Queen City of Charlotte. I love getting to know my new home state by exploring all of the incredible outdoor activities North Carolina has to offer.

I’ve created Sweatsational as a way to share my passion for fitness and healthy lifestyle choices with you. Achieving good health is a continual process, with many (MANY!) lessons learned along the way. I’d love to help make your fitness journey easier by sharing my experiences with you, and I’m hoping to learn from you as well by interacting in the comments on this blog or via instagram (@sweatsational)!
