Yesterday Emilie, HBL and I climbed a 14er; to be more specific, we hiked Grey’s Peak, which is over 14,000 high. It was quite the effort, let me tell you. While Emilie seemed to book it up the mountain, I was definitely lagging behind. I hiked the mountain on the left! Since I’m not as …

This past weekend I went to the Westword Music Showcase, a one-day music festival of local bands with some national and international acts thrown in to add a little spice to things. We started the day bright and early with the best of early morning beverages, Bloody Marys, followed by shots washed down with watermelon. …

Remember when I went to Nordstrom to revamp my summer wardrobe a little bit? Although I ended up with the Marc Jacobs and blue wrap dress, I got a furious email from my mother (among others) to go back for the DVF. My budget being blown, however, I was unable to do so. A few …
While driving around New Mexico, I started thinking about how different cultures emerge often in response to the environment around them. HBL and I spent hours driving through New Mexico and Colorado, imagining what people outside of the major cities do during their days. It must be so different from the hustle and bustle I …
New Mexico is one of my favorite places on earth. I can’t really explain why. It’s colorful, expansive and truly an enigma; there are green, lush mountains, monochromatic desert, rocky cliffs, sandy beaches (seriously!) and really everything in between. If a place like this can’t capture your imagination, I don’t know what will. I very …
If you speak any Spanish and are offended by the title of this post, don’t be! It’s a restaurant, so take up the naughty name choice with them! If you don’t speak Spanish but are intrigued, you can check out Urban Dictionary to see what I mean. ANYWAY, yesterday was a big day as a …
