Saturday was a banner day in my pretend celebrity lifestyle. Glitz, glam, and the gym—in reverse order. First up, Power 106 All-Star bball on the NBA Nation tour at Universal CityWalk. <— I missed this shot, clearly. Also, yes, those are Dunks crica 1998. Something about Nike sponsorship… Didja know?

You Are NOT A Celebrity When it Comes To Crop Tops
Dangit, I move to California and all the sudden I’m wearing short pants and short tops and short … well, I always wore short shorts. I am from Texas, after all. The Crop Top. I wrote over there —–> (fashion sticky notes) that crop tops should go back to where they came from (the 90s). However, I…
Happy Summer! Wear Sunscreen. Wait, Should You?
I’ve long been an advocate of sunscreen, and I don’t leave the house without SPF 28+ on my face. BUT. I only use sunscreen containing physical blockers, so I’m not putting chemicals onto my skin. I try very hard to stay out of the sun between 11am-2pm, when it is strongest. I usually wear a…

Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend … There is a long-standing debate: is the proper spelling for cut-off jean shorts “jhorts” or “jorts”? Jhorts are a summer staple in Texas.

Real Hiking Motivation
I wrote about hating hiking here. But I do appreciate many things about hiking: the beauty of my surroundings, the relatively low-impact exercise, and how much Nali loves it. I also love that I can watch the seasons literally change before my eyes. This is less than thirty minutes away from my house, door to…
Cold-Brew Iced Tea
I have a sudden, all-consuming obsession with iced tea. It could be because summer is winding down and I’m holding on to it with everything I have, it could be because I recently read a book where the main character loves southern sweet tea (I’m that easily influenced), it could be because I’ve gone on…
