Lake Tahoe!! When I was the minister for my best couple friends’ wedding last summer, we all laughed about how perfect it is that I’m permanently on their marriage certificate: we’re the marriage certificate trio! Never was that more apparent than the five-day Tahoe trip we took last weekend. There’s so much to be grateful…
What I’m watching: (it’s a nice contrast) Insecure Ballers Suits What I’m boozing: (no surprises here) A surprisingly awesome Chilean pinot noir Rosé of cab is still my fave – Lot 557 Modern Times Fruitlands sour beer What I’m wearing: (aka wanting to buy more of) L*space reversible haley top for volleyball Kork-Ease platform sandals,…
There’s a distinctly steamy, balmy, summery quality to summer nights at the lake. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter what lake or river, if you’ve got a dock and some water, there will be cicadas chirping quietly, water lapping softly, laughter punctuating the peace in welcome staccatos. Perhaps there’s a breeze that…
I do a pretty good job of being me all the time—there are different me’s in different settings, sure, but I think I do a good job of being me. However, there’s something extra amazing and special about those times or with those friends you can just completely be yourself with—no me’s required, all me’s…
This is one of my favorite views in the whole world. Portland took awhile to grow on me, but this condo and patio did not take any time to grow on me—they are the second home of my second family. I am incredibly grateful for my facebook gf and her parents, who really treat me…
From girls going on boys weekend to crashing a sabbatical to staying home and doing nothing, my Memorial Day weekend 2017 plans have been in flux for weeks—and they still are. I want to go somewhere, but somewhere Nali can go, that’s an easy drive, and is cheap. Easy, right? Nah, I’ll probably end up…
The happiest soul! As I gratitude-listed last week, being back in Aspen made my soul happy, mostly because of my bestie and other friends there, but also because—gasp!—the mountains have won me over, they own my soul now. Fresh air, fresh snow, blue skies a color blue only found in Colorado … it’s all a…
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…
You guys, I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list—of places I went this past year. Here’s a list: Hawaii, Tahoe, Aspen, Mammoth, Omaha, Austin (Feb, April, Dec), Fresno, Rae Lakes/Kings Canyon, Asheville, Pebble Beach/Paso Robles/Santa Ynez, Portland, Denver & Aspen, Joshua Tree, a few camping weekends in there, Houston, Tahoe again for New…
Because it’s just too classic American! Because I’m just obsessed! Look at this gorgeous Pendleton travel luggage set. The suitcases are $230-$270. But in reality, I never ever take that much luggage anywhere. I barely take more than a tiny carry-on. I am far more likely to use an Away suitcase, a new brand with…
