I’m doing BFree Yoga‘s Happy Body Happy Mind 21 Day Challenge, and it’s pretty lax—do some yoga, meditate, feel good, boom. But I wanted to do all 21 days of yoga in a row as part of it. Well, per yogic tradition, the universe has other plans. Great plans! Fun plans! But not yoga-every-day plans. So…
Or, the random thing I labeled this FGF long before I sat down to write it. And to be fair, I love bike commuting. To happy hour, to volleyball, to the gym, to anywhere, it makes me so happy to be outside and NOT in a car! I am so grateful for Shoal Creek trail…
Well, I made some new friends and biked around once the weather cleared up and had some awesome dinners with awesome people and it’s beginning to almost feel like I live here in Austin. Which is good because technically I moved here 5 months ago next week (although I long joked that I was moving…
Despite the deluge of rain the past few days weeks month, I managed to squeeze in some much-needed yard work last weekend. I asked my dad to help me—I wanted to tear out some bushes for an herb garden and move some stones around, he decided we should trim all the tree limbs and brought…
“You’ve been doing house stuff for the last two weeks” a friend complained. “I’ve only been home for two weeks.” The past two weeks have indeed been all about my house, but it’s finally coming together! The design inspiration post is coming next week, but suffice it to say that my taste is, as always,…
I mean, it’s perfect. I debated what to do with this kitchen alcove/nook, but making it a coffee bar was definitely the right move. Thanks in no small part to the most amazing, badass, delicious drip coffee maker of ever, that I just got after coveting my facebook girlfriend for life’s for years… It’s the Zojirushi…
A week ago, I was on an airplane flying to LA from Amsterdam. After a weekend of wedding shenanigans, I finally landed back in Austin on Monday at midnight. Tuesday, I closed on my new house. A friend who I am exceptionally grateful for helped be excited for me when I was too tired to…
I am 34 tomorrow. Thirty-four is somehow so much older than 33, and two weeks ago I prepared a post for this Feel Good Friday that didn’t actually feel very good, deep in the angsty throes of self-reflection about what it means to be a certain age at which I suddenly feel like I should…
Travel. I am grateful I get to travel! Norway was beautiful, soul-searching, painful, and I’m deeply in love with it (sounds a bit like love eh?). Copenhagen was quick and charming. More on both to come soon. And now I’m off to the Circling Festival and Amsterdam… wish me luck! Follow my adventures on ig…
Tomorrow, I depart for Europe! Today, we discuss the kind of person I am and want to be. Last weekend, I played a volleyball tournament all Saturday where you switched teams every game—it was really fun, and I got to meet a bunch of people. That night, I was exhausted but felt pressure to go…
