Things to do, check out, and buy this week! Workouts Simultaneously impressed and frustrated: this badass Brazilian surfed the biggest wave this year at 73.5 FEET TALL and it took the WSL 8 month to “verify” it … which they don’t do with men’s waves. WTF. To Do Listen to the new Sacks and the City…
Kerbey Lane is home to a host of adorable old houses, but you’d be for forgiven for never noticing them, even when you’re waiting for your table at Kerbey Lane Cafe. Most of them house random businesses—Drumz, I’m looking at you—so when colorful Adirondack chairs draped in Mexican blankets suddenly appear, they catch your eye.…
Dammit sometimes it sucks being a woman. No, it sucks being discounted automatically based on something innate, in this case gender, no matter who you are. I started this post a few months ago with the headline and a vague concept to rant about things that people tell me to chill out about because it’s…
I’m happy to occupy the random sweet spot that is between millennial-millennial and Gen-X-millennial, the group born in about 6 years that’s digitally-native with the benefit of experiencing a life (we remember) without technology. Cell phone when I could drive at 16. Facebook halfway through college. Early enough adoption of instagram that it was boring…
These are links I’ve emailed around to various friends, so thought I’d share them with y’all too. — As a woman, and feminist, and leader, in tech—from startups to literal IT—how could I not weigh in on this? First, read: The google engineer’s memo, in its entirety. Then, read: The google senior executive (YouTube CEO) response…
I HAVE BEEN WAITING for a year to be able to offer my fellow faux celebs a discount code on my favorite nerd computer glasses, and now it’s here! 10% off Felix Gray computer glasses at this link. I wrote about computer glasses—non-script glasses that magnify and cut down on blue light—here a year ago,…
On my last Aspen trip, I kept borrowing my gal pal’s Sorel wedges. They were unbelievably comfortable and look extremely cute (to boot). Since returning to sunny SoCal, I’ve still been obsessing over them. I just can’t decide which style I like more … And, lucky us, it’s just after bootie season, so these killer…
Because you’re never too old? As if I haven’t made enough lists of things I want? (here, here, here … in the last two weeks alone!) After a wonderful night around the fire pit in Houston, I must have one for my patio. I also need the instax bc I LOVE the photos that come…
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…
All I want for Christmas is to save more money (in direct contrast with my wishlist, perhaps). I’m not one of those budget-ers, despite enjoying the tough love in the You Need a Budget blog (I haven’t used the software) and employing the budgeting tool in Mint.com—which I do use to look at all my finances…
