YOLO Weekend was awesome, confusing, and gratifying. I also have to confess that the skiing in Big Bear was phenomenal—20″ of powder will do that—and I loved skiing with the crew I was with, on the super-fun untracked wooded bowl we found off the backside of a run.

YOLO! pt. 2 | Feel Good Friday 012017
YOLOing has been good to me. I Bumbled last Friday for a wedding date on Saturday, and he turned out to be awesome. He’s sure to star in the dancing portion of the wedding video, he signed a hilarious message in the guestbook, and he even posed for awkward prom pictures with me. Will I…
Big Dirty Hippie / Clean Beauty News: Introducing EWG Verified

Feel Good Friday 121616 | Learning to Be a Friend
This is a mashup of how I feel today. Vulnerable, a little sad, a little restless. A lot grateful for friendships. But a whole lot of that learning to be a friend thing—always learning. Most of my learnings of late have come from the sharing part of friendship, the part where I need someone’s help or…
