And she’s here! Helping me get ready to move/be homeless/drink wine. [live blogging] This is why my mom is the best:

Apartment Search | Feel Good Friday 041715
At it again … searching for an apartment. This will be my 10th place in 8 years. Blame that wanderlusting, adventurous soul who says, “pick up and move to a new place? OK!” This time, though, I thought we might have some tenure in my fab apartment with a stellar roomie—who is now moving out of…
Party | Feel Good Friday 041015
So grateful for friends! The Orange Coast mag best restaurants party (click here for the list) was another smashing success, and I was all too happy to share the fun with a great group of friends. I remember a mere two years ago, I had only lived here for two months and I didn’t have…
Portland | Feel Good Friday 040315
Do I even need to write anything? This picture says it all. These amazing chicks and I hung out for five days, had an awesome time, laughed, giggled, drove—so much driving, hiked, walked, drank wine, shared clothes, ate takeout, bought friendship bracelets, watched basketball and Neil Degrasse Tyson, shopped, and consumed absurd amounts of cheese.…
Breaks | Feel Good Friday 032715
Heh. I’m writing this too early on Monday morning as a Feel Good Friday because I was indeed taking a break—a much-needed girls weekend in Portland, Oregon. My bestie/facebook girlfriend picked me up around noon on Wednesday after a painless flight before which a stranger bought me a coffee because “you’re hot.” By Thursday morning as…
I Play Like a Girl
If there is a poster child for #IPlayLikeAGirl, it is me. Here’s me, just making history like a faux celeb trying out for a football team. I’ve actually made this point a bunch of times in conversation: I don’t want to play football like a man, I want to play football like a woman. It’s…
Happiness | Feel Good Friday 032015
Today is International Day of Happiness—and it’s weird for me to not be promoting that through DailyHap. So I write about it here instead, for Feel Good Friday! There’s an article I wrote pretty early on in DailyHap’s existence called Always Happy. There’s this myth that some people (me) are always happy, and that’s just not…
Jeepventures | Feel Good Friday 031315
The story of my first time off-roading in the jeep (named Ginger Lynn for the top pornstar name in her birth year, also fitting her coloring) with the best co-pilot I could have imagined—even though she unbuckled before the first hill “in case I need to bail” … TDS 2015 or bust! Literally. Obviously I’m…
Behind the Scenes Celeb: Costume Design
In the summer of 2006, I did costume design for a movie called Growing Out while interning at Shape mag and living in Brentwood—so celeb L.A. of me. ALL those clothes you see? I picked ’em out. Designed them, if you will. The movie I worked on is available on Amazon Instant Video ($1.99) and…
Making Space | Feel Good Friday 030515
I declared 2015 the year of openness, but so far I haven’t been all that good at making space. Sometimes it’s hard, because there’s so much we want to DO, that we pack it all in and forget that we can’t enjoy all the things without some breathing room around them. Earlier this week, we announced a…
