TK | Feel Good Friday 012916

TK is the magazine terminology for “To Come”. No one knows why it’s a K. It’s used in print drafts when you’re waiting on a detail, like: age, TK. What’s next for me is TK. I am leaving the publishing world behind after a wonderful ten-year tenure, though I hope to still be involved in…

Because We Love to Shop and Do Good: Athleta + Schoola

How cool is this? Schoola.com resells clothes and proceeds support different causes that schools are championing—so schools host used-clothing drives, mail in the clothes, they’re sold online, and proceeds go back to the school. So Athleta, well, we all know Athleta (some of my fave workout shorts)—premium athletic wear line from the Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy…

Glitter Step One | Feel Good Friday 012216

These friends of mine are the real gems in my life. Another friend died last week—though my heartache was for the friend of mine closest to him, not my own—and it brings up all the old feelings of love and loss stemming from JB’s death (9 years ago in April). It was from losing my…

Challenge accepted | Feel Good Friday 011516

I was feeling less in shape after some very boozy pre-holidays and still searching for the next thing to be training for, so it seemed like a reasonable way to kickstart myself while figuring out what…

I Bought FOUR of This

And I’m not even embarrassed. I used to have three of the same shirt in different colors, and I thought it was extreme. Now I own four of these: Listen, these are layering gold. Long, long, long, perfect over leggings and under sweaters. Tucked in, they magically add no girth to your pants but flawless…

Hawaii | Feel Good Friday 010916

Bags all packed! Fabulous new weekender courtesy of my bestie via Little Bird Consignment in Aspen. Hard to beat a place this gorgeous. North Shore, Hawaii. Grateful for the week’s vacation, relaxation, adventure, and company. Crouching Lion. Fantastic hike. Waimea Valley (including the fall) … basically an outdoor museum. $16.

The Year Of Glitter

2016 is the year of glitter. I love glitter. Like a kid loves glitter. 2016 is the year of glitter. The year of shining, sparkling, jumping, sticking, spinning, ecstatic glitter. I declared 2015 the year of openness. It was indeed an open year, but … Did I find what I was looking for, when I wasn’t looking? I’m…
