Little B | Feel Good Friday 082517

She’s loud, she’s overprotective, she’s grouchy, she’s an old lady, she gets sand in my bed and refuses to leave the beach sometimes, she scares old ladies walking weird and kids skateboarding and friends who come over and strangers who manage to make their way into my house and I don’t mind it when she…

My Dirtiest Hippie Adventure Yet: Kefir

My quest for the best probiotics to help heal my freakin’ face is well documented on this blog (here and here), but turns out the probiotic holy grail is probably kefir. Made-at-home, DIY kefir.

The Great Mascara Quest of 2017

6 players. My midget-y eyelashes. Former beauty editor alert! Since Paula’s Choice discontinued Fantastic Lash, I’m left sans go-to mascara, as I don’t care for their replacement. So the Great Mascara Quest of 2017 began, aided by Sephora’s Lashstash to Go box, which features five deluxe mascaras in black—and a voucher to come back and…

Compliment or Insult: Yoga Edition

I hesitate to even label this a Compliment or Insult but it’s kinda too funny to skip … We know I’m both an avid lifter and yogi, and Shannon is one of my favorite yoga teachers, and I’m at her Tuesday/Thursday 7:15am class on a more regular schedule than anything else in my life—except maybe…

Perspective | Feel Good Friday 072817

A week of perspective! Last weekend’s failed camping excursion could have been a bust but turned into an absolutely awesome girls night and all-Sunday-long fun.
