As much as I bring constant change upon myself what with my about steps in location, job, etc., I have to let you in on a little secret: I actually don’t much like change. It is very hard for me to accustom myself to a change in anything, from my hair to my bed to …
This recipe is going around the internet, having been featured on many of my favorite blogs including Lottie+Doof and Apron Strings. I thought I would give it a go and see how I fared. I’d say things went pretty well…in fact, this is my new favorite way to make pasta! It was light and flavorful, …
Yesterday was the 4th of July. As a rather novice student of culture and nationalism, I always find the 4th especially interesting. Not every country has a true blue independence day where citizens can pinpoint the moment, often long(ish) ago, when the line was really drawn between “us” and “them.” I think that having a) …
I love butter. Like, a lot. My nutrition coach Natalie Angstadt won’t like hearing that, but then again, if I didn’t, I wouldn’t need her as much! Last night I went all out by whipping up some pumpkin ravioli in a brown butter sage sauce. It sounds super fancy but is actually very quick and …

You know those lazy Saturdays where all you want to do is lie in the sun? I’m having one of those. That’s why I wanted to spend about five minutes making lunch- so I could turn back around and go right back outside. So, as always, I used Pinterest as inspiration to make something quick …
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 …
Pinterest is a dangerous, dangerous thing. I can spend hours staring at all the beautiful pictures without even realizing that time has gone by. In homage to the site that has inspired so many outfits, delicious meals and impulse buys, I decided that HBL and I would have a little Pin Party. We invited a …
Lately I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping. It’s 3:51am and I’m curled up on my couch with a cup of tea after giving up on falling back asleep. This is actually nothing new. When I was a little girl, I rarely slept. I had tons of phobias that kept me up at night, …
