In celebration of this long-awaited milestone—I know, I know, you’ve all been holding your breath for this checklist—let’s focus on the little luxuries of life. Highly recommend defining as much as you can as luxurious; life feels better that way. WHAT IS MORE LUXURIOUS THAN $64 DEODORANT? Rollr is beautiful, dirty hippie deodorant with no…
I get to see my best girls and favorite fam this weekend and I am so excited! We booked a last minute trip to Playa del Carmen for Memorial Day weekend and I am so excited! I gamed out some points so it’s mostly free except an expensive return flight home putting us in San…
A question I’ve been posing to myself more and more recently … Birkenstock Florida Platform sandal – a bit of a platform, three straps, and just a different vibe than the ubiquitous (and by that I mean I personally wear them EVERYWHERE despite my misgivings at buying them two years ago) Arizona sandal. But is…
Modular. Simple. Female-Led. If you don’t know, I drive a 2013 single cab short bed Tacoma. It is basically a base Slate, with roll-down windows, manual locks, and not a single frill. No bluetooth, though it does have a radio. No maps. No cameras. I LOVE IT. I don’t need any of that, I don’t…

To be clear, he does not read this blog. I’m not sure he ever has. But nonetheless we’ve got to mark the milestone birthday for my beloved husband that had us spring skiing, dining in a mine, and celebrating all weekend long with friends in Idaho Springs! I’m pretty sure he felt loved, but I…
Immediate asterisk: it should be noted that I absolutely HATED the book Eat, Pray, Love, but I am not above a cultural reference. The majority of people using it probably haven’t read the navel-gazing, narcissistic book anyway. Throw it out the window 
— The relaxing solo road trip to retrieve the Highlander, who has…
I’m grateful for a busy week, despite the perception of me as a current lady of leisure … … who is doing the family’s taxes, preparing for a remote car purchase out of state with registration and insurance in another state, planning a bunch of other family stuff, doing a budget—the work really never ends,…
New beginning of what? No one knows! While many single people lament dating, I loved it. It’s just so fun: you never know what will happen next! You never know who you might meet! You never know who you will swipe on, and how that date will go, and if your next great love affair…
