I like to attend the Aspen Business Luncheon whenever I can. It’s hosted every week with a different speaker and covers any topic you could think of—from joint replacements to entrepreneurship, with speakers from former Secretaries of State to Directors of Important Things In Aspen. Yesterday’s, however, was one I couldn’t miss: Aspen Women of…

Aspen: Winternational Red Bulletin Dine Around Weekend
And just like that, off-season is more or less over in Aspen. Sure, the next few weeks will be slow-ish, but this weekend is JAM-PACKED with events like any other summer or winter weekend, thanks to the 2011 Nature Valley Aspen Winternational Audi FIS Alpine World Cup. Basically, the fastest women in the world (downhill ski…
Better-lookin’ jorts
I have a pair of jorts that I’ve had for quite some time. Since my eBay buying phase, when I ordered a pair of Hollisters that were too short for these long legs. Probably early college, let’s call it. They have fit me more or less the same way since then, as my shape may…
Connecther
Like the shopping sites I’ve mentioned before, new Austin-based non-profit Connecther.org is focused on making life better for global women and children. Only Connecther.org provides collective giving and increased visibility to smaller scale 501c3 projects. By aggregating and consolidating hundreds of women and children focused non-profit projects, Connecther provides a platform for a single donor or a donor…
“I eat better than you.”
Awesome conversation overheard today after yoga: Woman 1: “You have the most amazing back, what do you do?” Amazing Back Woman: “This [yoga] and my diet.” Woman 1: “What? I guarantee I eat better than you.” Amazing Back Woman: “Nope, it’s all in the diet.” Woman 1: “I eat better than you. You eat meat.”…
Hiking motivation
I’m obsessed with pinterest, and there are tons of different ways to use it. I’m not super into motivational posters, but a lot of the pinners are. I was surprised to find myself chanting this in my head during my hike today… I do not actually enjoy hiking. Everyone in Aspen does, so I have…
Whoops
An update on my Wendler 5-3-1 … it was going awesome, until I skipped an entire week of heavy weights while traveling and then attempted new 1-rep maxes. This is apparently a poor choice, as I failed in every single one. The good news is, I now know what it feels like to bail on…
Austin: Craft Night at Aviary & Legendary Beads
There are trifectas of awesomeness like the upcoming Charlie’s Angels remake with Minka Kelly (who didn’t love Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights when she picked bad boy Riggins to love?), then there are trifectas of getting things done, like Austinites Tolly Moseley, Candace Carlisle, and Cory Ryan—three ladies who know how to throw a…
Wendler 531
I’m doing it! Just finished week 1. Pretty excited about it. Still yoga-ing a lot too. I think they work well together. Hit it hard, stretch it hard? Also funny: how this article: i-heart-powerlifting-and-im-not-bulky-or-masculine went totally viral in a day. CrossFitting women all love powerlifting. I love powerlifting too. What was it about this particular article or…
Aspen: Wine and Heels
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend Aspen’s latest ladies’ night craze: Wine in Heels. It’s a women-only (save for a few media men) wine and food pairing geared toward educating women about wine and food and creating networking opportunities. It works. Wine in Heels is hosted on top of the Dancing…
