… says Mama last night, at a Paso Robles wine tasting she managed to find and fly in for—which was, of course, fabulous. Great venue, really, really good wines, lots of fun with the mama. The selfie was silly (thanks for the free sunnies!) but it encapsulates something I am so grateful for: curiosity. My…
Teri Lynn, my fabulous massage therapist in OC, located in Huntington Beach but close enough to Newport Beach. I see her every 2 weeks, and for all the crazy sports and activities I do, she keeps me happy, healthy, and injury-free (knock on wood). You might recognize a photo or two of your favorite (faux)…
My heart is so full! My friends are so awesome! Groups of friends are the best! I am so lucky I’ve been able to gather friends and mix crews and have one of the greatest weekends ever. Best summer ever! What else can be said that hasn’t been said about how freakin’ lucky and grateful…
A whole bunch of chance encounters led to new friends last weekend. And then, Sunday sorority house happened (I never lived in a sorority house) where the girls returned to my house for items they’d left Saturday and we laid around catching up on what happened last night, stalking our new friends on social media,…
It’s summer, and there is nothing I love more right now that hanging out on my patio (rosé in hand, probably). Last weekend, the patio hosted a super-fun graduation party on Saturday. We played Sunday volleyball. Then, post-vb we ordered Thai food and spent the next several hours just lounging around. It was perfect. The…
VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
“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 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…
OMG! On a rainy Sunday morning in Newport Beach, I woke up, made coffee, and strolled over to Lido Marina Village with Denali. Remiss in visiting the up-and-coming, completely revamped village/nabe/new shopping center, I can’t believe it took me so long to get over there. It’s absolutely adorable! And the shops. Oh, the shops. The…
If you can’t Thug Yoga in Aspen, then you gotta do other yoga in O.C. As Jessica Biel once said in response to how she maintained her banging bod, “I do a lot of yoga.” So like any good faux-celeb… I do a lot of yoga. Remember when I finally found Ekam Yoga? There, I…
