Today marks the first fashion-related blog post I will do (unless you count my little shopping jaunt at Nordstrom to snazz up my sad sense of style). I’m not sure how frequent of an event a fashion post will be because 1) I am really, really NOT at ease in front of the camera and …
One thing I LOVE doing is cooking, which is why long weekends are SO nice: more time to spend in the kitchen. This recipe is one of my favorites from Plenty, a cookbook baked up by one of London’s premier chefs, Yotam Ottolenghi. I modified a few things (because the first time I made this I …
One of my favorite happy hours in Denver can be found at Lime XS, which serves generously strong margaritas for $5 until 6pm. Coupled with free salsa and fluffy chips (yes, I do mean fluffy- well, really, deep fried but I try to focus on the fact that they’re fluffy and crispy rather than the fact …
In the mornings that I head to the office in Denver, I reflect on commuting in NYC, London or Paris and wonder which scenario is better: 1) an hour long (plus) commute staring directly into someone’s sweaty armpit with no personal space of my own 2) a 15-minute easy breezy bus ride or 45-minute walk …
Today I BEGGED HBL to take me to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Strangely, this is a place I’ve always wanted to go and it isn’t too far of a drive from Denver, so I thought, today is as good a day as any! Sadly, it wasn’t very blog-worthy. The most noteworthy events included cool rock formations driving …
Remember my absolute obsessive love over pastries? Couple that with the weekend and you get me trying my hand at all sorts of crazy carb-infused recipes to replace the lack of good places to go in Denver. A few weeks ago I had my sister and her boyfriend over for breakfast, so made grapefruit donuts …
This past weekend I worked on perfecting my guacamole skills to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. You’d think I got sick of eating so much guacamole, but I DID perfect it so you didn’t have to! Easy Peasy Glorious Guacamole You’ll need: 2 large avocados 1 small heirloom tomato, diced 1 small red onion, diced 2 …
Although I’d love to say I’m a fashionista, or even a fashionista in training, I know full well that my sense of style is very, very boring. Open my closet or drawers and you’ll see beiges, browns and blacks, with a splash of grey here and there. Nothing too exciting. So, since spring has sprung …
Today was a cloudy, snowy day. Yes, I’m talking about 1st May 2013. Tragic. To try and forget that I’m living in a real life igloo when most people are out sunning themselves, I met my friend Amanda at the Wynkoop Brewery. As we sat talking about everything from wedding planning to Lena Dunham, it …
In addition to being a community manager, I do a lot of freelance work- or, should I say, guru work. (You’ll see what I mean below.) And before I found a nice home at a proper company, I was doing freelancing full-time. I get loads of questions about how I got started in the freelance …
