Tomorrow, I depart for Europe! Today, we discuss the kind of person I am and want to be. Last weekend, I played a volleyball tournament all Saturday where you switched teams every game—it was really fun, and I got to meet a bunch of people. That night, I was exhausted but felt pressure to go…
It took me a long time to come around to wearing Tevas (still a no on Chacos) but now that I do, I love them—for outdoor pursuits. (sidebar: did you KNOW the word Tevas looks shockingly like Texas at a glance??) ((sidebar sidebar: I saw on instagram so it must be true that Norwegians use…
“Let’s just pretend I move here in September” I said this past weekend, because I haven’t spent much time in Austin since “moving back”. I am grateful, however, for the really awesome friends I have here and the exciting things falling in to place to set me up for a wonderful fall in Austin. But…
An Austinite—home of Yeti—who likes Corkcicle better?! Blasphemy! Yes, all the insulated mugs do their jobs well. THIS one, however, has triple-vacuum sealed layers for 20% more coolness (they say).

Lululemonlinenpants. Framily. SoCal. Last night. House sale. Solo drive. Tucson stop. Family. Engagement. House hunt. Brother. Grateful. Exhausted.

I’ve written about it here and here; but I also thought I’d share my generalized feedback on…
Hello from your resident faux celeb. Extra faux celeb-y today, as my work did a profile on me … it’s ridiculous. Also, my dear friend was the video director on it, and this is our conversation after he sent me a sneak peek in advance of the big reveal today… This is particularly sweet for…
When my trekking backpack won’t do, and my ski backpack probably would—it’s done week-long trips in Hawaii and Morocco, after all—my upcoming two-week trip through Europe seems like a great excuse for a new travel backpack.
