I Got It, Suckas! Urban Decay Naked Smoky

Y’all remember when I was a beauty editor and did fun makeup posts all the time—think My Chemical Breakup or that time the poor Vermonster had to be my smell tester for my all-natural deodorant quest? Maybe I got a lil lazy out here in Cali (when I wasn’t forced to try new things all…

FALL into Yoga at YogaWorks

It’s no secret that I love yoga, but I haven’t talked much about it recently—mainly because I haven’t been taking many classes (the move, the injury, the lack of a studio…) Which is why I’m excited to take YogaWorks’ Fall Into Yoga 14-day Challenge starting today. The challenge is $14 for 14 days of classes…

Ginger Lynne | Feel Good Friday 091115

I am grateful for Ginger Lynne, the Jeep. She has brought me on countless adventures throughout the beach cities, occasionally inland, one excessively chilly trip to Malibu, and off-roading in the desert only to be challenged by her return to the freeway (toddler temper tantrum).

Football has brought immeasurable friends, fun, love, and family into my life. I am Graced by Football (in Graced by Grit’s Delicious Tank in royal, which is…

Gettin’ GLAM | Feel Good Friday 082115

Here’s the faux-celeb part of my life—glitz and glam at OC Look 2015, hosted by Orange Coast magazine at a private residence in Newport Coast (where the real celebs live). The glam started with my gorgeous girldate and blowouts at Drybar, where they no longer serve champagne much to our chagrin, so we had to pop…
