For days and weeks I would walk into the lovely Green Yogi yoga studio in North Manhattan Beach, CA. And for days and weeks I would admire the gorgeous handmade malas wondering if I should buy one. But each week, mala after mala would be sold to someone... and although so beautiful, none of the … Continue reading Mala Mala Beads, Y’all
Curaçao, Plow!
Yikes, this might have been the heaviest and most dramatic episode of the The Bachelorette EVER. Time for my always delightful recap/commentary. We open with Emily contemplatively walking along the shore's edge in Curacao, wondering who to pick.. reflecting upon her hot reality men... she leans down to write "Emily + ?" into the sand … Continue reading Curaçao, Plow!
My Second Try on Rebbecca’s Famous Banana Cake
When Aussie was here, one of the discoveries of the many many topics we covered was our mutual love for banana baked goods. Aussie claimed that his aunt's banana cake was the best recipe there was. I decided to attempt to make and taste "the best banana cake ever" for myself. I opted to make … Continue reading My Second Try on Rebbecca’s Famous Banana Cake
Club Meditate
Since May 2012 I have been in a whirlwind- and never stopped. I went on trips to Thailand, Napa, and Jacksonville. I fundraised and attended an event for my non-profit. I put together a Fourth of July gathering. I had a cute Australian distracting me (in a good way) for three weeks. I continued teacher … Continue reading Club Meditate
Breaking Lawn
It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through. - Zig Ziglar I like this quote because it pretty much describes what I went through the last few mornings. Last week, I decided - for some odd reason- to host a … Continue reading Breaking Lawn

Hometowning
It's Tuesday which means Bachelorette recap day. Let's get into it. Cray Cray Chris I still think he is creepy. The opening shot, when he is in Chicago, and he's not speaking- I actually think he is handsome for a moment... then he has to go and ruin it by speaking. I'm trying to figure … Continue reading Hometowning
Oh, I Love You, Summer
“What day is it?" "It's today," squeaked Piglet. "My favorite day," said Pooh. ― A.A. Milne I am a big believer in living in the moment, appreciating what is front of you RIGHT NOW. What is front of you right now? For me, it is summer. Not some flaxen hair girl, but the actual season. … Continue reading Oh, I Love You, Summer
Pop the Cherry
Another 2 in 1 post. First up- Pitting a Cherry- the elegant (and gadget-free) way. How do you get that pesky pit out of the cherry? I've seen paperclip methods, gadget methods, messy methods, but I think this method from Food 52 might be the cleanest and easiest. Kitchen Confidence - Courtesy Food 52 Hacking … Continue reading Pop the Cherry
Why American Parents Drive Me Nuts
Firstly, I get that writing about a topic like this (when 75% of my friends are parents) could be social suicide. But I've never been one (at least in recent times) to not blurt out how I feel about things. So I'm gonna let it fly. Secondly, full disclosure here, I am not a parent. … Continue reading Why American Parents Drive Me Nuts
