It was either two posts tomorrow or a FGT, so why not mix it up in a mixed up year?! These Feel Good Friday gratitude lists are intended to cover the previous week only, but on this last day of 2020 it’s hard not to use it as a reflection point for an entire year.…
Happy Birthday, Mama! The Bye Bye Beyoncé (Texas Queen) Party was a smashing success. When I sat down to write this post a week later, I thought I’d be able to find the words to describe the joy and love I felt, but I truly can’t. I was overwhelmed with love, affection, and happiness. From…
Nali, Mom, and I are road trippin’ right now (presumably). We’re making the 20-hour+ trek so that I can bring my nervous lil pup back to Texas for two weeks! (follow along on insta stories for the hilarity…) Leaving behind my home even for a couple weeks, here are the things I’ll most miss: Sundays!…
For most of the late summer and fall, the weekend formula has been the same, so much so that we stopped even group texting anyone to see if they were in, and just assumed everyone would show up—and they did. Most Sundays were marked by this Sunday morning ritual: Somewhere between 7:42-7:56am – Marriage certificate…
Is this a cop-out for a Feel Good Friday? I have so much to be grateful for but after breaking from tradition last week and ranting earlier this week, I can’t quite get back to the ebullience of the previous gratitude lists. See you next week.
AND THE WINNER IS … JEFFREY!! Congrats, thanks for reading, and happy poppin’!! (send pics if you make the Popcorn Cake!!) I celebrated my birthday with a ton of Gaslamp popcorn—seriously, we’re talking these four bags here folks … and you can too! Or at least celebrate the okay state of California’s September 9th birthday.…
What I’m watching: (it’s a nice contrast) Insecure Ballers Suits What I’m boozing: (no surprises here) A surprisingly awesome Chilean pinot noir Rosé of cab is still my fave – Lot 557 Modern Times Fruitlands sour beer What I’m wearing: (aka wanting to buy more of) L*space reversible haley top for volleyball Kork-Ease platform sandals,…
OMG! On a rainy Sunday morning in Newport Beach, I woke up, made coffee, and strolled over to Lido Marina Village with Denali. Remiss in visiting the up-and-coming, completely revamped village/nabe/new shopping center, I can’t believe it took me so long to get over there. It’s absolutely adorable! And the shops. Oh, the shops. The…
Hiiiiii GracedByGrit! This Friday and Saturday, come join the makers of my favorite athletic/wear-for-everything tank tops for a lil pop-up shop at 15th Street Surf + Supply. You’ll be able to try things on, which I think is important in this brand because I’ve flitted between all the sizes depending on how I want them…
There are some real ups and downs this week, and I’m grateful for them all. A lot of people I love celebrate their birthdays this week—happy birthday!! I put in an offer on a property in Newport Beach, and I’m the first backup. It feels like such a bummer, but it’s okay too. There will be…
