The way a place smells can really take me back. I look back sometimes and honestly can’t remember what it feels like to be a teenager. Or to be so heartbroken in my mid-twenties. Today I walked into the gym that I spent years in. It’s had two different owners since I’ve been there and … Continue reading
You wanna know what forces you into living smaller + slower? Growing a human being! I am an energetic person, who, if you give me my 7-8 hours of sleep, likes to go-go-go until the last moment. (You guys, I write this blog to remind ME to slow down just as much as I do it for … Continue reading
Long time, no blog! 🙂 I’ve had this post milling in my thoughts for some time now, and you’ll soon see why I had to wait until now to write it. It was an incredible holiday season this year, much better than the previous holidays. I was super into it, work was busy and incredible, … Continue reading
The other night, my husband and I went on a date and saw The Gift with Jason Bateman. I was really excited to see it even though I really hate scary movies/thrillers. Something about the trailer totally hooked me and I really wanted to know who the true bad guy was in the movie. (Don’t worry, I … Continue reading

The cause is #unpluggedambush, a multi-tiered movement to bring meditation to those who need it in a fresh, inspiring, happiness-inducing way. On October 23rd, sixty of us gathered under the stars in Franklin Canyon Park (which is … Continue reading
I felt it as soon as I woke up. “No.” I’d been going, going, going for a few weeks. I felt it in my bones, sure as anything – to all of the plans I had laid out for the day, my body was saying a strong “NO.” I’ve ignored my body’s “no” before, and … Continue reading
I’ve been wanting to make my own kombucha for a very long time! I actually began a batch late last year – I grew my own SCOBY (that’s a symbiotic culture of bacteria & yeast, for the newbs) from scratch and had transferred it to sweetened tea and was just days away from taking my … Continue reading
Hi guys! I write this to you from bed, where I am currently sniffling on a dreary Tuesday! Sad times for me. I never usually get sick, but I’ve been sick twice in the last four months. Takeaway: It’s time to start taking better care of myself. More regular sleep, more kombucha, more days off. … Continue reading
Has it ever happened to you? You had a bad day and go to bed feeling crappy. Upon waking the next morning, you dread going to work. Traffic is a nightmare, and once you’re at work, it feels like every difficult situation that could possibly arise magically does. You get home only to snap at … Continue reading
