If there is a poster child for #IPlayLikeAGirl, it is me. Here’s me, just making history like a faux celeb trying out for a football team. I’ve actually made this point a bunch of times in conversation: I don’t want to play football like a man, I want to play football like a woman. It’s…

Snag Some of My Fave Workout Clothes—But at 50% Off
I cannot figure out how to make that headline seem less spammy. But here’s the truth: despite my well-documented tumultuous relationship with workout brand Ellie (here, here, here), the actual clothes remain standbys in my rotation. I’ve even given pieces as gifts (Go With the Flow), and there are still pieces I covet but haven’t ordered. They…
Happiness | Feel Good Friday 032015
Today is International Day of Happiness—and it’s weird for me to not be promoting that through DailyHap. So I write about it here instead, for Feel Good Friday! There’s an article I wrote pretty early on in DailyHap’s existence called Always Happy. There’s this myth that some people (me) are always happy, and that’s just not…
Jeepventures | Feel Good Friday 031315
The story of my first time off-roading in the jeep (named Ginger Lynn for the top pornstar name in her birth year, also fitting her coloring) with the best co-pilot I could have imagined—even though she unbuckled before the first hill “in case I need to bail” … TDS 2015 or bust! Literally. Obviously I’m…
Behind the Scenes Celeb: Costume Design
In the summer of 2006, I did costume design for a movie called Growing Out while interning at Shape mag and living in Brentwood—so celeb L.A. of me. ALL those clothes you see? I picked ’em out. Designed them, if you will. The movie I worked on is available on Amazon Instant Video ($1.99) and…
Making Space | Feel Good Friday 030515
I declared 2015 the year of openness, but so far I haven’t been all that good at making space. Sometimes it’s hard, because there’s so much we want to DO, that we pack it all in and forget that we can’t enjoy all the things without some breathing room around them. Earlier this week, we announced a…
Mason Jar Mug
I’ve been stalking the leather mason jar holder that turns a mason jar into a coffee cup since I put it on my Christmas list, but haven’t pulled the trigger on buying one. Now I know why. You can buy a handled mason jar at Michael’s for $2.99 with a straw through the lid (and…
My Little Life | Feel Good Friday 022715
In my little life, I can walk to the beach, across the street. I can walk to a corner store for something I forgot or a hungover house guest might need, or to one of three excellent restaurants when I’m hungry (Eat Chow ANYtime, Cucina Alessa for fancy, and where would I be without Cappy’s…
Blunt Cut
I have recommended many hairstylists over the years, and perhaps that’s because my tastes have changed as my tastes have changed. Over the holidays in Austin, my family got to talking (read: gushing) about Victor, who cuts my dad’s hair and my brother’s hair and my cousin’s hair and all these other people’s hairs. They all…
Football | Feel Good Friday 022015
My team won the Beach City Sports Premier league championship this past Saturday. We were all very excited; I brought mini bottles of champagne, and we popped them to celebrate. Football has been a big part of my life in Orange County. Playing on the beach almost every weekend almost year-round has been amazing, and winning the…
