Taking the next few days to be with my favorite people, so you’ll have to excuse my lack of verbiage. (Or perhaps be grateful for it?) Listen: High on the Beach – Lana Del Rey Watch: Um. X-Files. Duh. Read: The Life-Changing Art of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #2
I’ve been reading quite a bit about mindfulness, the power of positive thinking and good vibes. So I decided to take a break from my hum-drum grey/black/other neutral wardrobe for a burst of spring. What is they say? No bra, No problems? Here’s to hoping that’s true. xx Jumpsuit: Free People Continue reading Rose-Coloured Glasses
Life is moving fast these days – with travel, work, new projects, unfinished business and posting on Instagram, I’ve had little time to chill aka make extravagant meals. In fact, I’ve been feeling a bit rough around the edges, which always calls for comfort food that I can make in less than fifteen minutes. In the colder winter months, meaning anything under 72 degrees, I … Continue reading Sunday Supper: Sausage Stew (In Less Than 15 Minutes)
I’m currently posted up in Palm Springs at conference, a large latte in hand and eight hours of boredom ahead of me. I only hope that your Friday is more entertaining than mine. The following will be a regular Friday feature. On previous incarnations of this blog, my random recommendations were generally well-received by the grand total readership of roughly five people. For your entertainment: Listen: … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #1
If you followed my old blog, you probably know that I have a hard time staying in one place. Multiple times a month, I find myself with itchy feet, ready for a new adventure, which very often takes me up to SF. But I’m sure my friends are rather over my biweekly visits, especially when I kick them out of their own beds and drag … Continue reading Girls’ Weekend: Paso Robles
I’ll let you in on a little secret. When I was in high school, my favorite outfit was an over-sized Tweety Bird sweatshirt, bell-bottom jeans, a 6-foot long pink yarn scarf and purple bifocals. There aren’t even words to describe the tragedy of my pubescent self. I’ve improved slightly with age and newly gleaned skills in eyebrow plucking and makeup application. For instance, I … Continue reading Play On Basics
I’ve always found soups rather boring and underwhelming. The texture is always sort of mushy, seasoning never strong, and overall, just blah. However, my family gifted me with an handheld liquidizer/emulsifier over the holidays and I’ve been going HAM on the whole soup business. The goal? A flavor fusion, high on the seasoning and bacon. Always bacon. A few notes on my cooking, I do … Continue reading Sunday Supper: White Bean Soup with Bacon, Thyme and Curried Brown Butter
Welcome to the new Notes & Sojourns! The first iteration of this blog began when I lived abroad in London. I wanted some way to catalog my experiences, which mostly took the form of snapshots and mooning about boys back home. Later, it became a collection of snippets of consciousness and recipes. Then I turned 27. And my subconscious came reeling out with all the … Continue reading Welcome.
