Just yesterday, after recommending this whiskey to the umpteenth person (and after giving it as a gift, and, ahem, enjoying it myself), I realized I need to share it here. Go buy High West Distillery’s Barreled Manhattan. It’s delicious, hand-labeled, special, and perfect for any occasion. In O.C., you can find it at Costa Mesa’s…
My mama is the best. Everyone who knows her thinks so. I am lucky enough to get to call her all the time—and some times, I do mean ALL the time. Tiny frustrating thing at work? Call the mama. Sort of exciting news? Call the mama. Possibility of exciting possibility? You guessed it: call the…
I am a red-meat-eatin’ Texan (grass-fed only, duh), but I’m also a good dirty hippie who loves her some clean, plant-based products like these beauties. This brand-new line of supplements—protein, probiotics, and Omega-3 spray—being produced right here in Southern California (LA) is called Ora: ora.organic. I love these products. Ora claims to be the first…
Y’ALL. I turn 30fun in less than a month. 30 has been good to me. Tumultuous, adventurous, full of love and laughter. Here are 31 more things to accomplish before I turn 31: 1. Idaho (at least book the trip) 2. [redacted] 3. Closure [redacted] 4. Stain coffee table 5. Sand dumpster-diving entry table + buy…

Last night at the gym, my male training partner pointed to a guy on TV and said, “how did that guy become the head of a chicken company?” and I said, “he’s an old white guy.” I frequently point out how much easier it is for an old, white guy to succeed at business. This…
I’m super boringly lucky, right? Like I’m still grateful for my friends and family and dog and body and work and life. Rrrrreat. (or whatever the sound of a record stopping is) Listen, my life is not sunshine and rainbows all the time. But I am trying with all my heart right now to live…
I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to…
I like today’s date, the #17. I am grateful for Nali, and that she wasn’t in the car with me when I got in a lil accident earlier this week, and that everyone involved was okay. I am grateful for some awesome friends. I am grateful for the HB Compound, with neighbors who have my…
Y’all know I sometimes get obsessed with brands that are doing awesome things with giving back, recycling, and the like, but it’s been a bit since I’ve discovered one I so instantly became obsessed with.
