  • Love & Marriage

    Love & Marriage

    Life comes at you fast and if you’re lucky…it’s a big beautiful mess of love, sweat and tears. On Sunday, October 4th… we got hitched. It was a randomly cool & rainy day in the middle of a heatwave in Los Angeles. Our family and friends laughed and cried right along with us. And trust…

  • We’re getting married!

    We’re getting married!

    Finally? I know, I know. After 10 years of friendship, which include 8 years of dating, 5 years of living together and 2 years of being engaged, we’re clearly in no rush for much of anything. So, we thought we’d go ahead and spend way too much money to party with our family and friends…

  • A Case For Nicole Warne*

    A Case For Nicole Warne*

    He doesn’t know what a Gary Pepper Girl is. He’s not quite sure what part of the world she hails from. He couldn’t tell you what her name is if his life depended on it. But whenever Nicole Warne’s gorgeous face flashes across the screen on my laptop (while we’re laying in bed watching yet…

  • Brow Game.

    Brow Game.

    Currently growing out my eyebrows because I’ve had the same brow shape since I was 14. Thought I’d share some inspo shots. Can you tell where I’m going with this? Happy Monday!

  • Uniform.

    Uniform.

    Lately, I’ve been craving a uniform. Mostly because figuring out what to wear every morning has gotten slightly out of control. I’ve tried to put outfits together the night before and yenno, it’s just not for me. So I thought a uniform would work. I don’t mean wearing the exact same thing every day (shout…

  • Happily Ever After.

    Image via Smitten Studio, who is in the middle of a house remodel I wish was my own. Waiting sucks. I’m 30, but you knew that. Up until now I’ve always felt like I had time. Time to do everything I wanted to do. Short term, long term.. “what’s the rush?” I thought. Now it…

  • Weekend Warriors

    Weekend Warriors

    So that happened over the weekend. It wasn’t without lots of swearing, splinters and a lot of “wow, they don’t fit. unscrew it!” — but we got ‘er done. I’ll be back with a bigger update (including those two sexy chairs in the back) once she’s sanded, stained and pillowed up.

  • Gangsters don’t dance, we boogie.

    Gangsters don’t dance, we boogie.

    Update: I’ve made modifications to my eating habits and am using NTC as a proper warmup for running. 15 minutes of almost any workout from the app and I can last a lot longer on the treadmill. Small victories, y’all! So it’s only February and I’m trying to party outside? Well, I do live in…

  • Goalkeeping.

    Goalkeeping.

    Update: My fiancé and I spoke at length after my last post and while I won’t get into specifics… I will say that he’s amazing. We’re moving forward, we’re growing. I may be taking the growing part a little too literal. Over a year ago, I wrote about wanting to change my body. For good.…

  • Bleh.

    That’s how I’m feeling.  I’m not sure if anyone still reads this, I’m too lazy to check stats. But if you happen upon this… can we talk? And by ‘we’ I mean ‘I.’ 2013 was eventful, for lack of a better word. I lost my mom. Got engaged. Turned thirty. All in one year. One…
