Insanely rich in color and texture, Kosas lipsticks are awesome. They have literally changed the way and frequency with which I wear lipstick. Granted, I was already getting into it with Urban Decay, and I do still love some of the crazier shades offered by UD. Kosas are different. Kosas are for every day, for…
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.

Idaho (at least book the trip) 2. [redacted] 3. Closure [redacted] 4. Stain coffee table 5. Sand dumpster-diving entry table + buy…
This was my weekend last weekend: And sure, it took me and the dog a little bit to recover from what was supposed to be two nights backpacking covering just 13 miles to two nights backpacking over 20 miles (landslide got in the way), but I think we’re both grateful for the opportunity to go…
