This marks the FOURTH weekend IN A ROW that I’ve been in Austin, without plans. This is (the last weekend) a record since I moved back, and probably a record for a long time in wherever I called home. It was very intentional, and it’s been very, very fun—but, actually really challenging as well. It’s…
Tru Wild is my new favorite supp company. Supps are hard—so many questions, so much bro science. Preworkout is not my jam but I LOVE sipping BCAAs throughout a workout … until I found out that most are made of some really really gross things. I could have lived my life without knowing that, but…
Another Friday, another week that passed me by in posting blog content. Blame the new job. HOW DO PEOPLE GET THINGS DONE while working in an office?! I will figure this out… There is SO much to be grateful for though! The new job, the new coworkers, biking to work, figuring life out, new loafers…
So I drove up to my parents’ house to do my taxes tonight … and there were multiple cars there. Turns out I walked into an impromptu family dinner, so my taxes aren’t done but I get to hang with my fam which is, after all, why I moved back … And then I grudgingly…
Did y’all notice I missed last week’s FGF? I was in full Bachelorette mode. It was a smashing success, if I do say so myself—and I do. Five days (world’s longest bachelorette party) of girl time with hilarious shenanigans, deck dance parties, champagne, amazing food, yoga, and endless hugs and kisses. More posts to come…
The last time I rounded up bikinis was a long time ago—and considering I lived at the beach for five years and was in a ‘kini at least 3 or 4 days a week, I’m basically an expert. I don’t live by the beach anymore, but am still just as obsessed with swimsuits! Have even…
Morning ritual for the perfect cup of coffee: Zojirushi coffeemaker with stainless steel carafe that really stays hot hot from 8am to 2pm. Set it the night before and wake up to brewing (or brewed) coffee. Add very generous splash of Picnik creamer in Texas Humor mug. Add WellPath Renew collagen. Stir. Get addicted. Notes…
Unreal. Turns out, this is how I describe Lake Tahoe EVERY TIME I’M THERE. But … it is. How is it so gorgeous, viewed from a ski run, from the top of the mountain, from the shores?! This last-minute, celebratory, easy, ski trip was absolutely perfect. Solo skiing, four (fully-grown, tall) adults stuffed into a…
When Marriage Certificate Trio came to visit with 15-month-old baby Hat and a penchant for outdoor adventures (their wedding), I was worried about how to showcase this fair city. But consider the Mission Accomplished. Thursday Downtown vibes. Had to stop by CU29 for an alumni happy hour, but fell in love with the $6 Old…
I think I’m very far enough removed from this interview to safely publish this doozy: a very senior SVP at a very publicly traded company interviewed me for a very cool job, and we really hit it off (professionally). My interview with his boss went well. Then the company was radio silent. I dutifully followed…
