You’ll have to forgive me for indulging in some good ole fashioned nostalgia because this year was a freakin’ doozy. SO many amazing trips, the year split by a big move, the most perfect scenario of moving next door to my little brother … the most amazing people in my life … 2018 is GOOD…
(This was supposed to post yesterday!! Travel is a bear) Let me tell this incredible man, role model, and jokester HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday to the dad who builds benches with me, trims trees with me, excitedly pretends to be killing me with an extension cord after working in the yard, teaches me how to…
I’m doing BFree Yoga‘s Happy Body Happy Mind 21 Day Challenge, and it’s pretty lax—do some yoga, meditate, feel good, boom. But I wanted to do all 21 days of yoga in a row as part of it. Well, per yogic tradition, the universe has other plans. Great plans! Fun plans! But not yoga-every-day plans. So…
I made the mistake of browsing a few comments on this amazing youtube vid and while I’m certain readers of my blog are well aware of the following, I reiterate: feminism is about equality.

A faux celeb summary of my solo female travel adventure for 2.5 weeks living out of an adult backpack in Europe… I had an awesome time, nothing life altering happened, I was safe as could be all the time, I loved all my airbnbs, I love Norway, and I am happy to come home. To…
Being a faux celeb, I’m certainly not going to do what the tourists are prescribed to do!… except, that, I want to see all the good stuff in a mere three days and there’s a reason the tourists do what they do. There’s a Norway tour called Norway in a Nutshell that takes you from Oslo…
“You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” I’m really feeling this quote right now (I posted it years ago on my instagram, at the time I…
Nali is happy. I am happy. Content. At peace. San Antonio is awesome, I can’t wait to go back. Low-key July 4th was awesome. VB at Aussie’s was awesome. This weekend is going to be awesome. The Handmaid’s Tale is absolutely horrifying but captivating (I’ve been binge-watching on a free trial of hulu). The next…
