I never thought I would be a "California Girl" in yoga pants, toting a mat and talking about the benefits of hot yoga, but here I am, working out. My friend Melissa talked me into trying a class with her and I am HOOKED. I have never taken any classes at a gym, I've only … Continue reading A Bag for My Yoga Class – Getting Crafty
I won an award at work for my contributions to internal process improvements. The award, believe it or not, is intended to be experiential. I could do just about anything I wanted as long as it wasn't *really* dangerous. I couldn't go sky diving, as an example. I initially thought about doing something practical, like … Continue reading SeaWorld is AMAZING
I love the internet and hate it at the same time. It's full of wonder and horror in equal measure. I mean, where else can you find the cutest pictures of animals and snuff porn on the same page? At least at a library you have to dig for it.... When I started getting back … Continue reading The Way Back Machine Saves the Internet

I decided that the loss of my hair was an opportunity to improve my styling skills, just like I did with my make up. I have some new hair tools to tell you about!! Learning new styling techniques was not anywhere near as hard I as I thought. It takes practice and experimentation and that's … Continue reading Hair Tools – What to Do to Plump Up
When my parents arrived earlier this spring, one of the first places we stopped was the Getty Center Museum. (I made them stop at the beach first, but that is another post) Visited the @gettymuseum with my fam yesterday. This lovely little cloud was kind enough to frame itself with the architecture. #gettyinspired #LA #art … Continue reading Getty Center and Museum With The Parents
On the same day we visited LACMA, my family and I went to the La Brea Tar Pits. It's a location that I've wanted to visit since I moved to LA but never made it a priority. The history of the La Brea Tar Pits reveals so much about how LA developed geologically and the … Continue reading La Brea Tar Pits – Our Visit
