Don’t you want to be there? On a beach, in Australia, filled with brightly colored houses and sunshine. I do. Thirty-year-old me is going to be here in July of this year, spending the month with my fiancé in Melbourne. The idea of me traveling for a month AND turning 30 both sound forei… << go on! read the full blog post >>

Wearing the same black Lululemon Wunder Unders to yoga class over and over is kinda like going to a party and only talking to your best friend. Sure, your bestie or closest gal pal can hold a great conversation but there are a ton of other interesting people at the party with whom to mingle!

“We don’t make important decisions in our life for rational reasons.” These words bounced and echoed on the walls of my brain one early morning last week. I heard them in a podcast while walking my dog. Maybe it was on This American Life? Or perhaps RadioLab?  Either way, o… << go on! read the full blog post >>

Let’s start the weekend with chocolate. With cookies. With chocolate chip cookies. RAW chocolate chip cookies. These are a new favorite recipe and one I find myself making excuses to make on a weekly basis. Birthday? ‘Thank you’ gift for a client? Because the day ended in a &#… << go on! read the full blog post >>

It’s the end of the month and it has been a full month. Deep breath! I’m playing landlord/liaison for my recently relocated fiancé (swiftly learning 2 > 1 on the ‘life-stuff’ front).
