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.

There was a moment during my Tahoe trip last weekend for the Fourth of July when Matt, who is basically acting Dad as he was the weekend planner and former Tahoe resident, said, “When we’re on a trip together, we’re family.

Mmmm my fave coffee: local roaster Wilson Coffee. CrossFit Balboa with their Balboa Buzzed blend (pic cred: CrossFitBalboa.com) first introduced me to the Costa Mesa!-based roaster. Then I took a trip over to the place for myself, which, don’t be confused, is NOT a coffeeshop, or really even a storefront. It’s nonetheless charming, and each roast…
