OptOutside this Black Friday … <–and create a cool social media graphic to let everyone know. Or maybe you want to shop. I don’t blame you, except the crowds. IF you’re going to shop, these are my current fave brands/retailers … yes, I’m a little outdoor adventure biased this year. And they’re mostly online brands,…
I’m having a hard time deciding what I’m most thankful for this year. An abundance of blessings is perhaps the most I could be grateful for, but let’s also acknowledge that I make the choice to be grateful for the wonderful–and not so–things in my life. Perhaps that’s what I’m most grateful for, the awareness…
Cuz you most definitely need a little om in your life before/after all that yum. Check out donation yoga all over O.C. at one of their ten CorePower locations, list here. Say you’re in Austin, they got you too. Houston, where I’ll be, has no CorePowers. I’ll be looking for a class (and update here…
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.

You can really build this up without many coats, which is super ideal for daily use and my under-2-minutes morning makeup routine. But you can add more layers later and it doesn’t get chunky or clumpy. Perfect for…
Who rescued who? Denali was sick this week—and that turned me into a crazy hypochondriac mom who was certain she had cancer—but she is on the mend and healthy and I am so incredibly grateful. Despite her skittishness and other issues, she’s an incredibly easy dog. And she is SO full of personality … Grateful…
100% Recycled Down! How cool is this?? Patagonia has created their signature jackets and vests with recycled down. It’s a mix of 600-fill-power goose and duck down reclaimed from used items (mostly quilts and pillows), which is cleaned, sorted and resurrected. It offers identical performance benefits to virgin down. As if I wasn’t obsessed with…
Vote. Vote for the president. But more important, read your ballot pamphlet (California’s looks more like a phone book). Vote on the propositions and state ballot initiatives that impact your day to day life. Vote on the city council that sets the tone for where you live, and your congressional representation. Because even in a…
I take being a female and boss in the corporate world seriously.
