I’m doing BFree Yoga‘s Happy Body Happy Mind 21 Day Challenge, and it’s pretty lax—do some yoga, meditate, feel good, boom. But I wanted to do all 21 days of yoga in a row as part of it. Well, per yogic tradition, the universe has other plans. Great plans! Fun plans! But not yoga-every-day plans. So…
Or, the random thing I labeled this FGF long before I sat down to write it. And to be fair, I love bike commuting. To happy hour, to volleyball, to the gym, to anywhere, it makes me so happy to be outside and NOT in a car! I am so grateful for Shoal Creek trail…
Well, I made some new friends and biked around once the weather cleared up and had some awesome dinners with awesome people and it’s beginning to almost feel like I live here in Austin. Which is good because technically I moved here 5 months ago next week (although I long joked that I was moving…
Despite the deluge of rain the past few days weeks month, I managed to squeeze in some much-needed yard work last weekend. I asked my dad to help me—I wanted to tear out some bushes for an herb garden and move some stones around, he decided we should trim all the tree limbs and brought…
Except, y’know, I’m a girl. Was boys weekend where three of my closest dude friends flew in from literally all over the country (Atlanta, Tucson, OC) to hang out, hit up one day of ACL, and explore Austin really just a week ago?! It was so much fun. There were missed airport pickups, scooters, mubers,…
Even as a Pumpkin Spice Latte lovah let me agree with literally everyone when I lament how on earth is it already October?! However, I could not be more grateful this week that my house finally feels like it is for real (yeah yeah it hasn’t even been a month Ihavehighexpectationsweknowthis). A bunch of house stuff came…
The magic of the mountains is hard to describe, it feels like words can’t do justice. I did not understand it until I lived there, and even then, I don’t know that I fully understood it until I left, and yearned for home. Couple that sense of physical place and grounding with the love I…
“You’ve been doing house stuff for the last two weeks” a friend complained. “I’ve only been home for two weeks.” The past two weeks have indeed been all about my house, but it’s finally coming together! The design inspiration post is coming next week, but suffice it to say that my taste is, as always,…
I mean, it’s perfect. I debated what to do with this kitchen alcove/nook, but making it a coffee bar was definitely the right move. Thanks in no small part to the most amazing, badass, delicious drip coffee maker of ever, that I just got after coveting my facebook girlfriend for life’s for years… It’s the Zojirushi…
A week ago, I was on an airplane flying to LA from Amsterdam. After a weekend of wedding shenanigans, I finally landed back in Austin on Monday at midnight. Tuesday, I closed on my new house. A friend who I am exceptionally grateful for helped be excited for me when I was too tired to…
