When I launched DailyHap, I gave myself the title of Boss, Badass of Site & Strategy. Who knew that many years later someone else would name me something similar?! I’m taking another Boss title, for an established company rather than my own: Director (Badass) of Strategy & Solutions. I’m moving on from Alorica, where I…
Typical | Feel Good Friday 030819
Typical: A ridiculously awesome OC weekend kicks off with birthday happy hour at the Cannery, bleeds into Cassidy’s and a late night, Saturday brings the bridal shower I flew in for (amazing), a lil day drinkin’ at Pacific City, a lil night partyin’ in Newport, and Sunday beach flag football and then volleyball all afternoon,…
A Big Damn Week | Feel Good Friday 030119
This gratitude list was meant to be about my Marriage Certificate Trio visit—for which I am still obviously exceptionally grateful for—but this week contained so much more… How is it possible only 7 days have passed since the last Feel Good Friday? Last weekend was a marathon, epic Austin weekend (sans ANY visits to bars—hooray!).…
Love It: Kosas Tinted Face Oil Review
This review has been a long time coming because, frankly, for me there was a steep learning curve to Kosas tinted face oils. First, if you’ll remember, I interviewed founder Sheena Yaitanes for Orange Coast mag when she launched her first products, amazing lipsticks—article here. She’s deeply charming and honest, so when she launched the tinted…
Dang, It’s Not Feel Good Monday | Feel Good Friday 022219
Over the weekend, my dad and I engaged in what I lovingly call “prison labor”, where we move stones around my backyard. This time, we were moving half of my limestone patio to the other side of the yard to claim more grass and build a patio from my house out my giant sliding glass…
Book Report: So Good I Read It Twice
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is a must-read. I almost exclusively read digital books I’ve checked out from the library on my iPad through the Kindle app. It’s not as complicated as it sounds. But sometimes I don’t pay attention to the return dates, and the thing with digital library loans is they…
Bridesmaids Dress Shopping
Y’know, it can be terrible, or it can be really alright. I’m pretty involved in the choosing of the bridesmaids dresses as the maid of honor in an upcoming wedding, and I have to confess that while I love fashion, this endeavor is a challenge. Like, the bride who I obviously love with my whole…
Love Love Love | Feel Good Friday 021519
Love! I love the rhythms of life. I love morning coffee. I love sunshine. I love my gym. I love the bouldering gym/coworking space/yoga studio. I love yoga. I love my house. I love my yard. I love my patio. I love working remotely. I love my dog. I love my friends. I love my…
Fauxliday Should Totally Be a Word
Valentine’s Day is really pissing me off this year, and y’know what’s even worse? GALentine’s. The actual eff is a Galentine’s day? A made-up version of an already-made-up holiday?? And does anyone even use the word Gal anymore except to say gal pals which is about as annoying as the day in question so perhaps…
