Being Me Bliss | Feel Good Friday 052617

I do a pretty good job of being me all the time—there are different me’s in different settings, sure, but I think I do a good job of being me. However, there’s something extra amazing and special about those times or with those friends you can just completely be yourself with—no me’s required, all me’s…

Second Fam | Feel Good Friday 051917

This is one of my favorite views in the whole world. Portland took awhile to grow on me, but this condo and patio did not take any time to grow on me—they are the second home of my second family. I am incredibly grateful for my facebook gf and her parents, who really treat me…

Research List: Last-Minute Memorial Day Weekend Trips

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. Here’s a list: Hawaii, Tahoe, Aspen, Mammoth, Omaha, Austin (Feb, April, Dec), Fresno, Rae Lakes/Kings Canyon, Asheville, Pebble Beach/Paso Robles/Santa Ynez, Portland, Denver & Aspen, Joshua Tree, a few camping weekends in there, Houston, Tahoe again for New…

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…
