I wasn’t nervous to hike 23 miles, 10,000+ feet of vert, and for 10.5 hours, although it was something I’d never done before. No, as we set off into the Grand Canyon, I was most nervous that I’d miss out on spectacular views because we’d be too busy hiking. Thankfully, this didn’t turn out to…
If you’re in SoCal (San Diego specifically), get ’em in the flesh: the booty shorts, tanks, and more awesome stuff I haven’t even tried yet.
“This ingredient has become quite the bees knees throughout the past years,” a man says to me in a thick Kiwi accent, charming even while spouting a terrible pun (that I obviously love). I’m on the phone with Russell Cowley, a former top chef in New Zealand in the ’80s who has partnered with a…
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I’m somewhere on my way to hiking the Grand Canyon, with some friends I am very grateful for, but today I want to talk about being grateful for Game of Thrones. And Silicon Valley. Because I watch these two shows with a very important friend of mine, and I am grateful…

They already did this on Tuesday. As I’m not actually a celeb, I cannot spend the cash to buy myself a bling ring whilst donating…
Back to my This is Life in … roots, a post on This is Life in a Motel. As I mentioned in Apartment Search, I am still looking for the perfect apartment. In my quest to not settle for anything less, perhaps paradoxically I moved into a motel (a motel, it should be noted, that is…
Or, the most amount of selfies I’ve ever taken. The logo tank is the new logo tee, and I have bought (literally) whole-heartedly into this trend. I have roughly 354 tank tops bearing the names of CrossFit gyms, yoga studios, competitions my roommate competed in, etc. that I wear routinely to the gym, to yoga,…
A most perfect trip. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Once-in-a-lifetime. The Kentucky Derby crew: THE. 141st. KENTUCKY. DERBY. The Derby Outfit (shoedazzle came in at the last min with killer stupid comfortable wedges): The day before the Derby, we had a girls day at Kentucky Oaks, where I wore my Derby hat I…
