A couple weeks ago, an Eagles-fan friend of mine and I booked a last-minute trip to Seattle for the Eagles-Seahawks game and to see my only-ever adult roommate (excepting my brother). We left Friday after work and booked the insane return flight time of 6am Monday morning, in time to work. As you can see…
aka you’re me or my mom, heading from Newport Beach or Austin, respectively, to Columbus, Ohio, in November. Brrrrr. Faux celebs fly with carry-ons only, suckas! Wear on plane: denim athleta jeans, rag & bone tank, patagonia flannel, green plaid sorel boots (EVERYONE NEEDS A PAIR OF THESE THEY ARE BOMB and unbelievably comfortable for…
My friend Matt nerds out over gear shopping. I wish I was like Matt, because I want the best deal on the best camp stove but I do not have the patience for comparing weights down to the ounce and features down to the speed to boil … for my camp stove, do I want…
There’s a distinctly steamy, balmy, summery quality to summer nights at the lake. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter what lake or river, if you’ve got a dock and some water, there will be cicadas chirping quietly, water lapping softly, laughter punctuating the peace in welcome staccatos. Perhaps there’s a breeze that…
I do a pretty good job of being me all the time—there are different me’s in different settings, sure, but I think I do a good job of being me. However, there’s something extra amazing and special about those times or with those friends you can just completely be yourself with—no me’s required, all me’s…
From girls going on boys weekend to crashing a sabbatical to staying home and doing nothing, my Memorial Day weekend 2017 plans have been in flux for weeks—and they still are. I want to go somewhere, but somewhere Nali can go, that’s an easy drive, and is cheap. Easy, right? Nah, I’ll probably end up…
It feels like I live in Aspen again—I’m here for my bestie’s 30th, but working remotely for a couple days too. It really is like the old days: I’m posted up at the library to work and chowing down on kale salad at Peach’s while laptopping away. I get to wander town, take ski break…
Because it’s just too classic American! Because I’m just obsessed! Look at this gorgeous Pendleton travel luggage set. The suitcases are $230-$270. But in reality, I never ever take that much luggage anywhere. I barely take more than a tiny carry-on. I am far more likely to use an Away suitcase, a new brand with…
OptOutside this Black Friday … <–and create a cool social media graphic to let everyone know. Or maybe you want to shop. I don’t blame you, except the crowds. IF you’re going to shop, these are my current fave brands/retailers … yes, I’m a little outdoor adventure biased this year. And they’re mostly online brands,…
You guys, I know I’ve fallen in love before—with Lake Tahoe over the 4th of July two years ago, with Lake Ear or whatever it’s called in Sandpoint, Idaho—but this time it’s really real. I am in love with a cabin. On Aspen Mountain. That you get to by riding in the back of a pickup…
