I LOVE this necklace. And I could have sworn I’d written about I AM THAT GIRL before, but it looks like I haven’t. The organization is all about educating and empowering the next generation of women. They say: We are shifting girl culture. By building a community for girls to be seen, be heard, and…
Buy my little brother’s book! A Beautiful Apocalypse ($4.99 for ebook, $17.09 for paperback) The book signing party on Tuesday night in Austin was a smashing success, Jordan gave a great little speech, and a few local zombies stopped by too. I haven’t read the book since an early draft, but if the finished product is…
Y’all know I sometimes get obsessed with brands that are doing awesome things with giving back, recycling, and the like, but it’s been a bit since I’ve discovered one I so instantly became obsessed with. Meet Parks Project. I don’t even know where to begin. The rad designs? The butter-soft fabrics? The protecting, preserving, and…
“What’s important in your life? This is dealing with things on a different level. All of these are relating to different kinds of stress, where does that stress show up in your life? Digestion? Skin?

Politics of diamonds aside (they have loads of other precious stones anyway), Diamondere is donating 100% of proceeds from sales on its entire site today to relief efforts in Nepal! 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…
This post could have been titled “Own up to it or go ahead and die.” As in, that’s what my mom said when I ran a post by her about sex, relationships, and birth control for this blog. Because we’re talking about your body … we’re talking about the choices you’re making … and fundamentally,…
I have recommended many hairstylists over the years, and perhaps that’s because my tastes have changed as my tastes have changed. Over the holidays in Austin, my family got to talking (read: gushing) about Victor, who cuts my dad’s hair and my brother’s hair and my cousin’s hair and all these other people’s hairs. They all…
All I want for Christmas is to save more money (in direct contrast with my wishlist, perhaps). I’m not one of those budget-ers, despite enjoying the tough love in the You Need a Budget blog (I haven’t used the software) and employing the budgeting tool in Mint.com—which I do use to look at all my finances…
I literally cannot think of anything cooler than competing in a lifting (cough, cough CrossFit style) competition ON THE BEACH. A lifting comp on the beach! Badges for Life is a new competition in Southern California on the beach in Huntington Beach. Epic pictures. And that’s why we all compete, right? #abzzzz Formed by a…
Fabulous French bistro laV is opening today! I love, love, love the Aspen-Austin connection, which I wrote about here. One of my girlfriends was lucky enough to attend all of the pre-pre opening festivities a couple of weeks ago. She scoped it out for all of us, and had this to report: “The ambiance is…
