Go Broncos! What to Wear to Super Bowl 50

The Texans are 100% my NFL football team, but lost in the first round of the playoffs (playoffs! made it, suckas!) My #2 team is the Denver Broncos, on account of my Colorado time, and friends who love the donkeys. So we know who I’m rooting for on Saturday. Here’s what I would be wearing…

Sweet Potato Pear Soup | Crowd-Pleasing Recipe

I’ve been making this stupid simple soup for over ten years (before ‘paleo’ entered anyone’s lexicon), but it had fallen out of my regular routine until I was cold last week and wanted something warm to bring for an engagement party potluck. This is the analog recipe: fatfree.com/recipes/fruit-soups/sweet-potato-pear-soup (how embarrassing) SWEET POTATO PEAR SOUP 1/2 onion, diced…

TK | Feel Good Friday 012916

TK is the magazine terminology for “To Come”. No one knows why it’s a K. It’s used in print drafts when you’re waiting on a detail, like: age, TK. What’s next for me is TK. I am leaving the publishing world behind after a wonderful ten-year tenure, though I hope to still be involved in…

Because We Love to Shop and Do Good: Athleta + Schoola

How cool is this? Schoola.com resells clothes and proceeds support different causes that schools are championing—so schools host used-clothing drives, mail in the clothes, they’re sold online, and proceeds go back to the school. So Athleta, well, we all know Athleta (some of my fave workout shorts)—premium athletic wear line from the Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy…

Glitter Step One | Feel Good Friday 012216

These friends of mine are the real gems in my life. Another friend died last week—though my heartache was for the friend of mine closest to him, not my own—and it brings up all the old feelings of love and loss stemming from JB’s death (9 years ago in April). It was from losing my…

Want to win all this?! Jennifer Decker did! Just leave a comment before midnight PST tonight (Tuesday, Jan 19) below with which flavor of Gaslamp Popcorn you’re most excited to try!

Challenge accepted | Feel Good Friday 011516

I agreed to do a Whole30 with a couple of friends. I volunteered, if we’re being honest. Why not? I was feeling less in shape after some very boozy pre-holidays and still searching for the next thing to be training for, so it seemed like a reasonable way to kickstart myself while figuring out what…

I Bought FOUR of This

And I’m not even embarrassed. I used to have three of the same shirt in different colors, and I thought it was extreme. Now I own four of these: Listen, these are layering gold. Long, long, long, perfect over leggings and under sweaters. Tucked in, they magically add no girth to your pants but flawless…
