Valentine’s Day is really pissing me off this year, and y’know what’s even worse? GALentine’s. The actual eff is a Galentine’s day? A made-up version of an already-made-up holiday?? And does anyone even use the word Gal anymore except to say gal pals which is about as annoying as the day in question so perhaps…
The deepest powder I’ve ever skied!! Mammoth got a mammoth blizzard and we got to ski it!! Who cares about the most boring game of ever when you get to ski feet and feet of powdaaaaah??? It was so much fun. I finally get it. All the time I lived in Aspen, I never got…
I’m off to Mammoth for our second annual Super Bowl weekend ski trip! I was asked recently what my hobbies are and the first thing I said was “travel!” followed closely by “and gym, yoga, playing sports …” but if you look at my calendar, it’s basically all travel all the time. It’s exhausting. But…
I almost tweeted a link to this article about AOC sharing beauty tips but believe my reaction is more nuanced than a tweet can contain. How badass is it that a young freshman senator is now collectively known by her initials just a few short months after her election? How badass is it that she…
As the tagline fo this site is ‘Glitz, Glam & the Gym’, it seems only fair that we touch base on The Gym. Going to the gym is truly playtime for me. Following programming and not having to think up my own workouts makes it even more like play, especially because I’m always learning new…
Well this is fun! Take this quick 30-question quiz. A snippet from my results: (83 of 100) High openness to experience: You’ve probably tried on several personal styles and hobbies during your life, and your curious brain is actively seeking new things to explore. Your identity may be flexible and open to change, but you’re…
Are you supposed to get your friends going away presents when you’re the one leaving? I did (these wish bracelets), and wrote them love letters, because they are the best. Perhaps it’s worth sharing a few snippets, in celebration of the girl friendships formed in five years living in OC that will be some of the…
Aspen Real life. This Aspen/Vail trip was characterized by getting to share real life with my best friends—often, visits turn into vacations, but this one got to include couch nights, deep conversations and also the complete lack of conversation that characterizes the deepest friendships. We went out and had a blast too, but I was…
As I was looking for a book to download for an upcoming flight, friend Camille Styles posted 7 inspiring memoirs to read for the year. I’ve actually read most of them, but quickly downloaded Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle because it seemed like the perfect fit for someone who declared this year the year of vulnerability.…
I’m in Aspen and so happy. This is so very much my happy place. This past week and weekend were a lesson—time—not quite a struggle but a place of learning—in the spaces between, in truly honoring the space and time that I need. Alone, mostly. I didn’t do things I didn’t want to do, and…
