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…
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…
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…
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! 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…
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…
The deepest powder I’ve ever skied!! Mammoth got a mammoth blizzard and we got to ski it!! Who cares about the most boring game of ever when you get to ski feet and feet of powdaaaaah??? It was so much fun. I finally get it. All the time I lived in Aspen, I never got…
I’m off to Mammoth for our second annual Super Bowl weekend ski trip! I was asked recently what my hobbies are and the first thing I said was “travel!” followed closely by “and gym, yoga, playing sports …” but if you look at my calendar, it’s basically all travel all the time. It’s exhausting. But…
I almost tweeted a link to this article about AOC sharing beauty tips but believe my reaction is more nuanced than a tweet can contain. How badass is it that a young freshman senator is now collectively known by her initials just a few short months after her election? How badass is it that she…
As the tagline fo this site is ‘Glitz, Glam & the Gym’, it seems only fair that we touch base on The Gym. Going to the gym is truly playtime for me. Following programming and not having to think up my own workouts makes it even more like play, especially because I’m always learning new…
