Activities | Feel Good Friday 060917

VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…

Upcycling Only // Poshmark

In a further quest to up my dirty-hippie game, I’ve long been trying to consume less. But as someone who loves fashion, how can I keep my wardrobe fresh without constantly buying new pieces? Enter Poshmark. I first mentioned the secondhand shopping app on last year’s Cyber Monday post. But it’s become a great way for me…

San Diego | Feel Good Friday 060217

Remember my grand plans for Memorial Day Weekend—staycation? I made it to San Diego. That was it. But it was perfect. The holiday weekend days stretched long and luxurious. I love my new Acoustic Ales hat—and their beers are amazing, visit the brewery if you’re in SD—and I’m so grateful for a(nother) friend with whom…

EMBA

So this is happening. Smart.ly’s Executive MBA Because I’ve always been curious, because I like to start and run businesses, because I’m a woman and feel like an MBA might help in my career, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting an MBA. But school full-time doesn’t make sense—and further, the stubborn side of…

Being Me Bliss | Feel Good Friday 052617

I do a pretty good job of being me all the time—there are different me’s in different settings, sure, but I think I do a good job of being me. However, there’s something extra amazing and special about those times or with those friends you can just completely be yourself with—no me’s required, all me’s…

Revealing a Secret: Betabrand Yoga Pants

I kind of don’t want to tell anyone this secret. Because for 6 months I’ve essentially been wearing sweats to work, and I don’t really want anyone to know that. Because right now NO ONE KNOWS. So these pants are all the damn rave. Take $15 off your order of $75+ at betabrand.com. I bought…

Sunflowers

This happened, at work: “pesky, hard to get rid of, grew too tall once and now some people like them for no reason” People are 100% what make work fun.

Second Fam | Feel Good Friday 051917

This is one of my favorite views in the whole world. Portland took awhile to grow on me, but this condo and patio did not take any time to grow on me—they are the second home of my second family. I am incredibly grateful for my facebook gf and her parents, who really treat me…

Electrolytes! Pre-Workout! Hydration!

It’s no secret I love me some BCAAs and electrolytes. These are my new faves. Enough my faves that I was walking out the door when they arrived on my doorstep via LuckyVitamin.com and I turned around and swapped Nalgenes in order to take my Mestrength powder-filled Nalgene to the gym instead of the previous…

Research List: Last-Minute Memorial Day Weekend Trips

From girls going on boys weekend to crashing a sabbatical to staying home and doing nothing, my Memorial Day weekend 2017 plans have been in flux for weeks—and they still are. I want to go somewhere, but somewhere Nali can go, that’s an easy drive, and is cheap. Easy, right? Nah, I’ll probably end up…
