Horses. I love horses. I love to ride but don’t get much of a chance to out here in SoCal. Last weekend in Asheville, we only went on a trail ride and walked and trotted, but it’s still wonderful to be around horses. I have a terrible sense of smell in general, but I LOVE…
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…
The bikini was created/first appeared at a poolside fashion show in Paris on July 5, 1946. The then shockingly skimpy design, dubbed the bikini after the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, took twenty-plus years to really catch on … and now we’ve moved to even more shockingly-skimpy designs with the prevalence of thong bikinis (remember…
This time of year for most of my adolescence, I headed to summer camp. Camp Olympia was, and still is, the most magical place on earth. Camp was a place I thrived, where I felt happiest, safest, most comfortable in my own skin. Camp was where I most fully learned to embrace who I am,…
A few days before our backpacking wedding trip to Rae Lakes—which I still owe this blog pictures of—a LifeStraw water bottle arrived for me. Now, we’d already invested in the Sawyer filtration system, which for backcountry backpacking is an ideal weight and easy-ness. But I clipped my new LifeStraw on my backpack anyway, and boy…
These are my new computer glasses. I LURVE them. I have never worn glasses in my life, but after reading about how horrible working at a computer all day is for your eyeballs, I felt compelled to save my perfect eyesight with a little blue-light-filtering, magnifying, glare-reducing pair of totally hipster computer glasses. felixgray.com, $95.…
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…
hey! this was scheduled to post on Friday! Dangit. Rae Lakes loop. Now. 46 miles in 5 days. That’s where I am, and that’s where I am headed in this picture. #ActuallySheCan tank gifted by the organization. #ActuallySheCan is a campaign, sponsored by Allergan, that aims to foster important dialogue around what modern female empowerment…
