This week was all about being who I am, and staying true to that/me. Who I am is a particularly hard sentiment to hold on to when insecurity rears her ugly head, my own head putting me in situations that leave me feeling like I’m not enough. In those situations if I can get back to…
Trader Joe’s should be no one’s primary source of wine. But it’s just so convenient, and it has great prices on household-name wine—perfect for keeping your wine rack stocked. The top 5 wines I’m currently buying at Trader Joe’s are: Dearly Beloved I Thee Red – red blend – $7.99 – this is the perfect…
Mama’s sissies are in town. They are my aunts and I love them! It’s a family girls weekend, and I couldn’t be more excited. Or grateful. We also got to see my baby cousin who is now 4, which is apparently not baby anymore but I don’t care, because she is the best. And she…
I guess a mini-deodorant isn’t that heavy. But in backpacking, weight is everything. Swipe contacted me just a few days before my recent backpacking trip offering a sample, so I gladly opted in. After all, a few packets of wipe-able deodorant are way lighter than the lighted deodorant stick. Plus, they’re biodegradable, so I don’t even…
No, Really, You Can Drink More Water Sitting in the airport waiting on our third amigo to drive out to Asheville for the bachelorette weekend, I spotted Cassie drinking out of a Reduce WaterWeek water bottle. “Cass! Is that the refrigerator bottle from Cait?” “Yes, we all have them. My parents, my brother, everyone.” “Those…
Happy International Day of Yoga! A new yoga mat for me has been long overdue, but I finally got this gorgeous purple eKO Lite Manuka mat. Baby’s first nice yoga mat. I almost feel like a real yogi. But what really makes me feel like a real yogi? Yoga mat spray. That you don’t have…
I live and die by online shopping—a holdover from living in the mountains and not having access to a store that sold normal underwear. Not fancy undies, just normal-people-underwear. Aspen, Colorado does not sell this. I digress. My new go-to for supps, clean beauty, health, protein, and all that healthy stuff is LuckyVitamin, as discussed…
Y’all. Life is crazy and busy and [too] full and stressful and wonderful. I’m so grateful for everything—for the chance to completely escape into the wilderness, to climb thousands on thousands of feet, through rain, hail, sleet, snow, and sunshine, to breathe in the fresh, deep, alpine air, to celebrate love and marriage with my…
Dirty (clean) little secret: I LOVE baths. I have always loved baths. I thought I needed a hot tub until I realized all I really ever wanted was a bathtub. You know what makes baths even better? wine Epsom Salt. And not just the stuff from CVS—although it’s fine in a pinch—if you want to…
A story of wtf. This is the story of a time I bought a house, and my mom came in town to help me with some remodeling, and I only had 30 minutes at the gym while she walked my dog around the neighborhood around the gym, and I ran into my favorite trainer and…
