From girls going on boys weekend to crashing a sabbatical to staying home and doing nothing, my Memorial Day weekend 2017 plans have been in flux for weeks—and they still are. I want to go somewhere, but somewhere Nali can go, that’s an easy drive, and is cheap. Easy, right? Nah, I’ll probably end up…

Feel Good Friday 031017
The happiest soul! As I gratitude-listed last week, being back in Aspen made my soul happy, mostly because of my bestie and other friends there, but also because—gasp!—the mountains have won me over, they own my soul now. Fresh air, fresh snow, blue skies a color blue only found in Colorado … it’s all a…
Happy Soul | Feel Good Friday 020317
It feels like I live in Aspen again—I’m here for my bestie’s 30th, but working remotely for a couple days too. It really is like the old days: I’m posted up at the library to work and chowing down on kale salad at Peach’s while laptopping away. I get to wander town, take ski break…
Travel | Feel Good Friday 123016, the Last Friday of 2016
You guys, I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list—of places I went this past year.

Always Obsessed With: Pendleton
Because it’s just too classic American! Because I’m just obsessed! Look at this gorgeous Pendleton travel luggage set. The suitcases are $230-$270. But in reality, I never ever take that much luggage anywhere. I barely take more than a tiny carry-on. I am far more likely to use an Away suitcase, a new brand with…
Family Brag | Feel Good Friday 120216
I’m gonna brag here for a minute. Not even humblebrag, just straight up brag. Y’all, my family is awesome. Not just my mama, dad, and bro (happy 30th!!), but my entire extended family of aunts and uncles, cousins, cousin/brother (NOT a weird TX thing), cousins-in-law, cousin’s girlfriend, and baby cousins!! Everyone gets along so well…
Jet Set | Feel Good Friday 031116
Mammoth to Omaha. An unlikely turn of travels, from road trip to jet, but grateful for both. A ski weekend with two feet of snow (!!!), Nali playing again in the snow, my badass new work team, a deeper understanding of my new job… Awesome. Exhausted. And excited.
TK | Feel Good Friday 012916
TK is the magazine terminology for “To Come”. No one knows why it’s a K. It’s used in print drafts when you’re waiting on a detail, like: age, TK. What’s next for me is TK. I am leaving the publishing world behind after a wonderful ten-year tenure, though I hope to still be involved in…
Hawaii | Feel Good Friday 010916
Bags all packed! Fabulous new weekender courtesy of my bestie via Little Bird Consignment in Aspen. Hard to beat a place this gorgeous. North Shore, Hawaii. Grateful for the week’s vacation, relaxation, adventure, and company. Crouching Lion. Fantastic hike. Waimea Valley (including the fall) … basically an outdoor museum. $16.
Idaho, You Gotta Go (Idaho, Part 1)
This is real life. #nofilter More reasons to go to Idaho: Go to Idaho: Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced: pond-ə-ray) Deer Ridge Lookout in the Purcell mountain range Small House Winery Eichardt’s. I hear they have a great salad (get the garlic fries). Trinity at City Beach. I call it Tripity, ok? P.A.T.I.O.
