Hey remember that time Refinery29 loved my Pinterest boards for their “country-rustic flavor“? Yeah, that was last year…kinda fun. Well, this rustic country aesthetic I like is getting a moody, wintery filter lately. I think the weather out has inspired me. I think it also helps that I’ve been getting up at 6am every day … Continue reading »
It rained all last night. Maybe that’s why I slept like utter crap? As soon as the alarm went off, I rushed to the kitchen to fire up the stove to boil water for coffee. My Monday morning respite can be found somewhere in the pour between my french press and my orange-to-red ombre coffee … Continue reading »
↬Apartment Therapy I’ve been traveling a bunch lately, and work has just been insane. It’s left me craving a vacation – and thank goodness I have one coming up. Fortuitously planned in conjunction with my 30th birthday no less. I have five solid days at the beach coming my way and it’s got me craving … Continue reading »
via Martha Stewart This week kicked my ass. Not that things were particularly busy, or any task remarkably difficult, but it was one of those weeks where my skin was a little too thin to be dealing with some of the people that came my way. Difficult people will always be difficult, and haters are … Continue reading »
I’m a sucker for twinkle lights. Don’t you think a smattering of twinkle lights on a patio, a roof deck, around a tree…just make an evening outside? I do. And now that the heat is turned up, and I’ve surrendered myself to it, an evening by the grill and a picnic table in a flowy … Continue reading »
Isn’t how it goes…you get back into working out, get yourself on a schedule that starts to feel good again, life starts to feel all nice and balanced…and then you get sick. That’s how it goes for me at least. While I’ve spent the past week on my couch alternating between sleep and something that … Continue reading »
Wow. Well. It’s been three weeks since I last posted. Needless to say I’ve been busy! I went to South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW) in Austin, Texas for work – and who am I kidding?! For play, too. I ate my freakin’ face off. It was great. Highlights included braised short ribs with sweetbreads, tempura fried … Continue reading »
I wish I had a balcony like this to be sick on all weekend! Ya know. A girl sends out a call (plea) for chicken soup and she gets not one, but two, responses! I spent the majority of the weekend sick, out of breath and coughing my way around my apartment. My cold medicine … Continue reading »
So last week I took a poultry butchering class at Hill’s Kitchen. I’m a firm believer in fate. My life is also a string of ironic turns and twists in which I throw ingredients away thinking I don’t need them or they’ve passed their prime…and then need them not even a day later. Yeah. I’m … Continue reading »
Something about freakishly warm weather in February makes me panic for red wine. I can’t get enough of it lately. Ironically, I’ve been drinking white wine almost all winter. As if to give cold weather the finger. “Screw you…it’s cold and I’m drinking Torrontes! You’ll be around forever…you and your icy breath. I don’t need … Continue reading »
