Hello,
I’m Misty
Welcome to I Tried That. My cozy little section of internet dedicated to all the things I’ve tried lately. Most of the things you will find here will be centered around fitness, food, and fun. Some hard and some easy. Some clean and some messy. I am on a mission to try new things every month. Sometimes just tweaking workouts, and sometimes trying new hobbies (or getting obsessed with them – hello ADHD and perimenopause, amirite)? And sometimes the latest viral recipe.
This blog started out as a way to document my wellness era. Since I’ve had a little time on my hands lately I have been able to try new things. This has become a way to share the successes and failures of this journey(psst…there are a lot of failures). And a little humor to go along with all of it. Feel free to explore all the things I’ve tried a long the way. I blog about fitness, nutrition, hobbies, fashion, beauty, travel, etc. Whatever you are looking for, it is possible that “I Tried That”.
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
