I’m going to blame this delayed gratitude Feel Good FridaySaturday list on any number of things, not the least of which is my amazing friend (pictured) getting me last-minute Ducks playoff hockey tickets! A frantic bike ride home from work ensued, followed by an adventure through the streets of Santa Ana with a new companion…
“Are you proud of yourself?” my mom asked me, on my patio, earlier this week. “Yeah!” I replied, happily. “I am.” Work has been crazy, but I am proud of the work I do. Hosting brunch and fire pit nights and rose all day fests keeps my crazy busy, but I am proud of my…
It’s almost 5 months into 2017, a year I ambitiously declared the year of clarity and then set to work on while also crossing all my fingers and toes hoping it would come true … this week, a few things crystallized. I’m transitioning from my awesome, badass job that I love to an entirely new-and-different…
Bike rides. Sabroso. Baewatch. Mozambique. Sweet potato eggplant lasagna. x2. BROga. How to Break Up With Your Girlfriend. OCMag’s Best Restaurants event. Guys We F*cked podcast. This has been a really good week of just going with the flow. Not pushing the river. Embracing spontaneity without going completely YOLO.
OK. So many things are encompassed by these four photos. I had an amazing opportunity to network with some really accomplished people this week, but the coolest part about it was that no one was too cool for school—every one of these highly successfully people was down to earth and willing to talk about anything.…
If you follow me on instagram, you’ve no doubt seen me chronicling the trials and tribulations of Nali getting bit at dog beach last Sunday. I think it was far more traumatic for me than her, as she remained as cool as a cucumber while I struggled to hold it together. After ten years together,…
We’re down to 4 out of 6. I just got wine glasses that I love and am obsessed with, and a friend broke one last weekend. Then I broke one today, washing it. I haven’t even owned them for a month! I was sad, but then I asked myself what the alternative was: they sit…
The happiest soul! As I gratitude-listed last week, being back in Aspen made my soul happy, mostly because of my bestie and other friends there, but also because—gasp!—the mountains have won me over, they own my soul now. Fresh air, fresh snow, blue skies a color blue only found in Colorado … it’s all a…
It feels like I live in Aspen again—I’m here for my bestie’s 30th, but working remotely for a couple days too. It really is like the old days: I’m posted up at the library to work and chowing down on kale salad at Peach’s while laptopping away. I get to wander town, take ski break…
What a freakin’ week! I played a football tournament in a monsoon and then sunshine! Played Saturday away with a really fun crew, left my bike, wheels and tires got stolen off of it. Poison ivy came in STRONG from Black Star Falls hike last week. My bro was here! My mom IS here! Fire…
