Lately I’ve been in a state of food malaise, which is very rare for me. Salads, which I often devour, have just seemed kind of blah. I think it’s because lately I’ve been relying on packaged salads from Whole Foods or the same thrown together mix of greens in between meetings and activities. Last night, …
This afternoon I got together with some friends to celebrate our reprieve from wintry weather (in April!) with some yoga in Cheesman Park. My friend Jessica Owens is working her way up through the Denver yoga teacher scene, so we were lucky to snag a free, “private” (quotations because we were in public!) session with …
Do you ever crave chocolate at really inconvenient, even inappropriate, times? For me, it’s always at 11pm when I’m working on a midnight deadline, or in between meetings when I don’t have time to cook something up myself and certainly don’t have time to step out. My wonderful Aunt T shared this five-minute chocolate mug …
Mom and Zig are in town, which means long brunches, trips to the mountains, good dinners out on the town and a little extra hustle and bustle in our lives with the little one! To celebrate the big 2-5 Mom took me, HBL, Jean, Mike and Zig out to dinner at Shells and Sauce, one …
Yesterday being the most important of days, my birthday (I am now a quarter of a century old- how did that happen!?) HBL took me to my favorite of favorite restaurants in Denver, Cuba Cuba. If you are ever in Denver, you MUST visit this cute little restaurant for caipirinhas, arroz con pollo (if you’re …
Almost two weeks into April and we’re still getting snow! To celebrate the snow day (rather than cry like I wanted!), I went to one of my favorite places in the city, Lucile’s Creole Cafe. Let me tell ya something: I already REALLY want to visit New Orleans, but every time I go here, my …
Yesterday was the first Friday of April, which means two things to Denverites: the first First Friday Art Walk of the year, and opening day for the Colorado Rockies. I am not much keen on baseball (sorry if that diminishes my American charm, but YUCK!), but since I work downtown, I was thrown right into …
Maybe one reason why I’m obsessed with Marie Forleo is her belief that you can be a multi-passionate entrepreneur. I can’t be tied down to one interest, one area of expertise, one passion for my entire life. It’s just not possible for me, there’s too much I want to see and do and taste and …
Is it possible to have adventures in familiar places? I used to think it was not possible, which is why I have a tendency to high tail it out of places once I’ve been there for any respectable length of time. But lately I’ve had a revelation: the most seemingly boring places can be full …
Just a little bit of introspection: There are very few yoga poses that are so uncomfortable for me as King Pigeon. From my gracilis to my quad to my ankle, I often feel extreme intensity as I stretch what seems like every muscle below my hip in this posture, and many a teacher has remarked …
