Key ingredients for a smashing girls weekend in Vegas: 1) Good music 2) Cute outfits 3) Unlimited fountains of wine 4) $1.50 total in winnings from gambling 5) Heat! Since all the above items were doubly checked, I’d say my 24 hours in Vegas were jam packed with fun (and yes, excuse the rhyming, lots …
This morning before jetting off to LA, HBL and I stopped at Denver’s best kept secret for a light breakfast: the Duffeyroll Café, home to Denver’s best cinnamon rolls. When I moved to Denver (for the first time) from the East Coast, I was appalled by the lack of donut and pastry shops. I’m used …
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 …

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 …
