Yellow, White, and Gray
Last weekend, I was throwing the football around in the backyard in shorts and a tank top. Fast forward to Thursday/Friday, and it’s 40 arctic-windy* degrees outside! Well hello there, Spring! 🙂 *My hair is all over the place in these pics, thanks in part to the above mentioned breezes. […]

Three Things: Pens and Pencils
I have always had a thing for nice pens, pencils, notebooks, etc., so I thought I’d share three of the ones I’m loving right now. *Also, I don’t actually grow – or intend to grow – orchids. I do paint a little though, and I like to flip through the […]

Gluten Free Breakfast Cereals
Some of my friends from grad school and I met up for dinner, and MAN! Ordering our food was a trip! Amongst the four of us, there was a serious gluten allergy, three lactose intolerances, one soy allergy, and a couple cases of acid reflux. Of course, the conversation turned […]

Navy and Olive
There’s something about monochromatic dressing that I’m into right now. Maybe it’s the ease of dressing (just throw on a few things in the same color…exactly zero time and effort expended), or maybe it’s that I get to wear my favorite colors head-to-(almost)-toe. It’s probably a little of both 🙂 Side […]

THE Denim Jacket
Yo. Post pause: My friends IRL know that when I start a sentence with either “Yo” or “Y’all” I’m about to say something serious. Like a couple of months ago when Similac randomly mailed me cans of formula and a note – addressed to me by my FULL name – […]

Little Luxuries: Aveda Hand Relief
To me, Little Luxuries are those small things that don’t cost a fortune – or anything! – but that never fail to bring a bit more shiny, happy Joy and Sunshine to my day 🙂 Man, I used to be an Aveda junkie back in the day! Sap moss shampoo and conditioner, […]

Monochromatic: Gray on Gray
Before I started trying to figure out my personal style and what it is that I truly like and want to wear, I never – ever – wore bright colors. It was all navy, gray, black, white, and tan all the time! I’ve overcome my color shyness since then (thank […]

Kitchen Basics: Mangos and Avocados
When I’m at home, not intending to share, and not trying to be particularly cute, I tear into mangoes the fastest way I can, and get about the business of eating it. Sometimes, though, it’s necessary to have mess-free mango cubes, like when eating on the go or preparing a […]

2 Ways to Wear Rust Colored Jeans
I picked up these rust colored semi-skinny jeans a while ago, and I’ve been wearing them to pieces. Side Note: I noticed that the price of these jeans – and not just these jeans…lots of items – fluctuates considerably on the Macy’s website. I got them last year for around […]

2 Ways to Wear Olive, Pink, and Burgundy
Olive, hot pink, burgundy, and navy (not to mention wide stripes, thinner stripes, and dots)… I know: it sounds like a lot, but I really do like the drab + bright color combination. Also, olive is right up there with navy and gray as my favorite pair-with-any-and-everything neutrals, so it […]
