… The color of our lives? (anyone? cotton commerical?) The Pantone Color of the Year for 2017 is Greenery, a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. They say: “While Serenity and Rose Quartz, the PANTONE Colour of the Year 2016, expressed the…

Fizzy Wheatgrass Hydration (the weirdest three words I’ve ever put together?)
I average 2 nalgenes at work a day, and consider 3 nalgenes a good day. This doesn’t include a nalgene consumed during fitness—and I believe at least one nalgene should be consumed per fitness activity. In short, I’m all about hydration. I drink BCAAs and electrolytes and use lemon and do all sorts of things…
Gardening Training Wheels
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I have a list on my fridge of Things To Do—well, I have lists like that everywhere, but the fridge is command central for Things To Do Around The House. On that list is one item:…
Aspen: Green Drinks
Thursday from 5-7pm, meet new people, learn some stuff, snag some snacks, AND check out the new exhibit Seasons of the Nuche at Aspen Historical Society—a must for anyone who calls Aspen home, even part time. It’s your history!
I am a beer bottle. (The tale of a Playback t-shirt)
After reading about Playback recycled bottle and cotton tees, I couldn’t resist ordering one for me and one for the (Ver)monster. Luckily, they came in the mail right before I had to go to an early Halloween party that I was NOT ready to dress up for … so I wore this lovely light brown…
SXSW 2009: Tuesday’s Schedule + St. Patty’s Day!
A big day for downtown, to be sure! As far as SXSW goes, not too big of a day though. BMI circulated an email this morning clarifying that even if you RSVPed, unless a BMI employee invited you or you’ve got a badge, you’re not getting in. So scratch Howdy Texas at Stubb’s off your…
Scooter?
I’ve been mulling over buying a scooter. We all know I’ve tried to be eco-friendly, but the biking was more funny that practical. Plus, for a fashionable gal, it’s just not practical in the summer heat–I can’t show up everywhere with helmet-hair and sweat stains! Perhaps a Vespa would keep me cooler … But alas,…
Huge Weekend
I’m exhausting just thinking about this weekend, and it hasn’t even started yet! Apparently Austin does Labor Day big. The highlight: Sunday night’s Nike Human Race. 6:30pm, a million people across the world will be running a 10K. In Austin, our course is a tough one–lots of hills–but pretty, through downtown, campus, the capitol area.…
No more phonebooks, hooray!
I was just having this conversation with a friend yesterday: Him: “What’s up with phone books? They’re stupid, they go straight from my doorstep to my recycling bin. I wish they’d stop sending them to me.” Me: “I used mine to hold up my bed frame for awhile … but I agree. No one uses…
Moonshine Brunch
So I’ve been talking about Moonshine’s brunch for over a month now, and finally went yesterday. It was awesome! We arrived around noon (the brunch runs 10-2:30), and they told us the wait would be about 45 minutes to an hour for a table of 5. We snagged spots at the bar and were seated…
