THE IRONY!!! My posts this week were pre-scheduled, and couldn’t have been more on-the-money for the daily events of my life. It’s a wild ride over here, folks, and my confidence in myself has immediately been tested. But I’m still confident. And the view is indeed better from the high road, so that is where…
As we transition to a new year, this nugget from a yoga class in April (!!!) feels particularly apropos. I get really caught up in the next life pose—the next step, achievement, or thing to do. But I’m working on showing myself loving kindness in transitions, as they’re as much a part of the practice…
Vulnerability breeds confidence, and so it follows that 2020 will be the year of confidence for me. After a long journey through a lot of self-questioning, I’m emerging very comfortable with who I am. Feeling calm, cool, collected. Confident. I may not—definitely do not—know exactly what I want (aka I do not have, er, 2020…

Compliments. What anyone wants out of their outfits is compliments. I LOVE to shop, but have been trying hard to pare down my closet and not spend money, two goals that are NOT in line with a shopping habit. And yet, I’ve never even tried Rent the Runway Unlimited, or any of the brand-specific monthly…
The last friend Christmas party turned into backstage at EDM show… The “slow” week turned into long days and a big presentation at work… The manis from ManiMe continue to impress, transforming how this girl sees nails and nail art… The hilarious texts I get from my friends continue to make me so happy and…
“Appreciate yourself. Is there something you’ve been wanting appreciation for? Thinking you deserve? Don’t wait for someone else to acknowledge you, acknowledge yourself for what you know you’ve done.” Caitlin, today at BFree, during savasana Wow, ok.
After a failed dipped powder gel nail situation, I was resigned to a fate of traditional if chippy manicures forever. Enter life-changing ManiMe, an awesome new company that uses images of your nails to make custom gel stickies that stay on for up to 10 days. Sounds amazing, but does it deliver? YES. After a…
What a jam-packed weekend and week! I know the holidays are usually a busy season, but I don’t remember them being THIS intense before. Nonetheless, let’s get to gratitude: The best Tanukiversary one year anniversary party ever! My amazing family and friends were there with 50 of our closest people we don’t know. It was…
This is the coolest art project of ever, maybe. French secret street artist JR (think Banksy but a photographer) collaborated with Tehachapi prison to create a mural on the roof of the prison, only visible from above aka an airplane. Then they added the stories of the 48 inmates featured to their interactive app—which is…
