Grounding. I’ve been back in Austin for just over a week now, and I’m so happy. I feel at ease, at home. My bug bites are healing, Nali is getting used to the heat, and I’m spending time around the lake as much as possible to try to make up for missing the ocean. Nurturing.…
Talented artists, all. At a range of price points, you can support independent female artists (or curator) who I happen to know and love. Earthy: The Pointed Arrow / @thepointedarrow I absolutely adore Lily’s sense of style (mentioned here before), and her mountain boho aesthetic calls to me. I’m particularly enamored with the pieces that…
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…
These $13 headphones survived a trip through the washer AND dryer. They have a mic that does a decent job of blocking external sounds. They come with three bud covers for weird small earholes like mine. And they can be yours from Amazon Prime Now within 2 (really 3) hours, at this link. This is…
My puppy dawg, my lil buddy, my constant companion … and morning and evening walks on the beach with her, especially when nali poop dances come into play or when she sits down and refuses to leave Poison ivy bonding with my fbgf4lyfe reconnection … a wine night and finally trying the Cassidy’s grilled cheese…
Hey, I can’t help it if inspiration struck from a beer ad … I’m grateful this week for a chance to chill, to take things easy, to embrace a certain limbo that’s both inevitable and inevitably frustrating. I’m also grateful for: my mama! but we all knew that, it’s just that mother’s day was last…
The time is nigh, OC, what do I want to make sure I’ve done before I leave? One of the greatest things about OC is its proximity to so much… … Rosarito, dammit (this amazing yoga retreat with my fave instructor still has spots open) … Visit Paso Robles again (Memorial Day weekend!) … San…
My whole life, I wanted to live by the ocean. It’s downright magical how the ocean can transform you—ground you, excite you, annoy you. The ocean is an all-encompassing real but mystical, concrete but ethereal force. It’s a study in contrasts, like so many of us, and I’m so grateful for my (daily) time spent…
After an exhausting stint that involved 5 days in an RV in the desert at Stagecoach straight into a three-day west to east coast business trip, I got back last night completely drained—and with drainage in my throat. I try so hard to keep myself from getting sick by being cognizant of my fatigue, both…
I’m at Stagecoach. Can you believe it? Pretty stoked. I thought I’d post from here, but I won’t. So stay tuned for next week’s gratitude list. In the interim, know that I am really, really grateful for the gifts in my life. Super Happy birthday wishes tomorrow to an awesome someone! *tk = magazine=speak…
