I chopped off all my hair last night, just about 10 inches of it. With a pair of dull scissors and my horrified housemates staring at me. Just kidding, it wasn’t nearly as dramatic, but there were quite a few snaps and lots of sweeping to do. There is something freeing about chopping off your hair, especially doing it yourself. I know in most media … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #10
My friends often joke that my musical taste is, for lack of a better word, schizophrenic. I often switch between Pavarotti and DJ Khaled, Fleetwood Mac and Lil Wayne and today, between Britney Spears and Ingrid Michaelson. Both women I’ve seen live and was definitely not disappointed. In fact, Britney’s Circus show was the most expensive concert ticket I’ve ever bought. And Ingrid’s was … Continue reading Listen: Britney v. Ingrid
I’m busy preparing for my first ever pop-up dinner, which is happening tomorrow night! Follow along at IG: notes_nibbles for live updates. My schedule is intense today, along with a deposition, a networking lunch and the farmers market. I also want to handmake my menus, bake the cake and do my soup today as well *wipes sweat off brow.* Lofty goals, but I think … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #9
I’m in the process of writing my first (and perhaps last) book! I am about 40% of the way through and it is proving to be a cathartic and creatively challenging experience. I am hoping to have a working draft by the end of August. In addition, I am embarking on a Whole 30 eating program this month. Though I have lost 17 pounds in … Continue reading Currently Reading.
I’ve been changing my thinking habits. Changing may be a strong word. Enhancing? I’ve been listening to The Lively Show on my way to work. This podcast is upbeat and provides insight on how to live your life with intention. (Read: Spend less time on social media). In an effort to manifest all I’ve learned, this weekend was a trial run. I listened to my … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #8 – The Summer Edition
Before I launch into today’s feature: BEYONCE. Yesterday, while at lunch, I received frenzied texts from friends re: Beyonce’s show in San Diego and two floor seats. A few minutes later, some executive decisions were made and I popped into the car with my friend Veronica (literally the best person ever) for a short four-hour jaunt to San Diego to see Queen B. The hysteria. … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #7
I feel an immense amount of personal momentum at the mo. At the same time, I feel scattered EVERYWHERE. Work has been hectic and I have my first speaking engagement coming up. I’m looking for additional opportunities, but not sure what exactly I’m looking for. I’ve been increasingly social as opposed to the last few weeks, with dinner parties and happy hours. I can’t even … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #6
Preparing for a weekend of skiing in Mammoth. JK. Because being nailed to plank of wood and thrown down a mountain is most definitely not my cup of tea. However, I will be maniacally taking photos of my pup frolicking in the snow and whipping up some hot toddys pre-hot tub soaks. Listen: Frightened Rabbit – Death Dream Their newest album is available for pre-order. Which … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #5
Despite my self-imposed exile from the dating world, I am super-stoked on the upcoming weekend. Adele. Flower market. My favorite spin class. Volunteering. Yoga. Meditation. MOCA art exhibit. Brunch. Dinner plans. Indigo dying. AND my new roommate is moving in! Plus everything else in between. Last weekend in Seattle, the girls and I had a running joke about only keeping things in your life that … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #4
I just spent the weekend traipsing through Seattle with some amazing women. We spent the days sipping coffee, meandering museums, sampling ginger beers, and supporting local shops (aka shopping sprees). I can’t wait to reveal my Seattle City Guide, but until then, here’s a catch up post from Friday for your latest cultural shortcuts. Listen: Future’s EVOL Topping the charts, like whoa. Into it. Obvs. … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #3
