It’s crazy to think a good portion of my younger years was spent obsessing over a boob job. I mean, I grew up in Orange County where plastic surgery is a right of passage for a girl on her 18th birthday, so I guess it’s really not that crazy. Lucky for me, I’m horrible at saving […]
Would you believe me if I told you I ran my first full marathon with zero training?! Zip. Zilch. Nada. I bought a number off Craigslist two days before the race and ran as Lilly Lee, a 38-year old from Honolulu Hawaii. Of course everyone told me I was insane for randomly deciding to run […]
While my ego believed the motive for moving back to California was in search of more opportunity, deep down, my heart knew this change was for a different reason. It took a while to quiet the mind and figure out what my heart was trying to tell me, but the moment I was finally able […]
Am I crazy or is everyday a celebration in the social media world?! One day it’s #NationalDonutDay, and the next is #GlobalRunningDay, followed up with #WorldOceansDay and #NationalBestFriendsDay. So really, are you even surprised when I say today is #GlobalWellnessDay?! And although it may seem super basic of me to partake in these hashtag holiday’s, […]
They say if opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. So just to be on the safe side, I’ve built like 12. From beer babe pursuits to #GennahRation movements and everything in-between, it’s no secret I’m a creator of opportunity. But every time I hear a knock at one of my metaphorical doors, it’s almost as […]
What began as an Instagram obsession, blossomed into a genuine friendship the moment my girl Fit Andy let me in on a big secret she was keeping. “I’m pregnant!” she screamed with the giddiest smile on her face. Just when I thought I couldn’t be more inspired by this badass babe, the confidence she carried while […]
When I made the bold decision to migrate back to the mainland I was bombarded with some pretty typical questions, my favorite one being, “Did you ever get island fever?” Good ‘ol Google defines island fever as, “the phenomena of feeling claustrophobic from the close proximity of each shoreline, and feeling disconnected from the outside […]
We’ve heard it time and time again, the age-old saying— “happiness is a choice.” But like, WTF does it even mean?! Yeah it’s the ultimate caption for an epic sunset pic on Instagram, but I’m pretty sure happiness is the last choice you want to make while suffering from the pain of death, drowning in a shit […]
In the life of a Mermaid everyday is one big celebration, but today is extra special. Partially because a good deal of the world is in constant chill mode, but mainly because today marks another fabulous year in the life of Gennah Rodriguez. Call me crazy, but I enjoy growing another year older. Why you […]
You guys, I have a confession to make… I don’t really like beer. Sorry for being honest here, but beer doesn’t make me feel like my best-self. As a matter of fact, it makes me feel bloated AF with uncontrollable burping and/or farting (like I said, just being honest).
