With the arrival of fall comes beautiful foliage, costume planning, boots and cozy layers. Oh, and PSL (aka Pumpkin Spice Latte). via GIPHY Blech! Amiright?! Just because I really don’t like PSLs doesn’t mean I don’t like pumpkin-flavored things. For the record, pumpkin chocolate chip combinations are some of my favorite! Here’s a round up…
Summer is a time of healthy living: sunshine, sweaty activities, outdoor adventures, fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s also a time of living it up, of saying “yes,” of kicking habits off to the wayside. There’s been a lot of disruptions to my routine this summer. Friends visiting, seeing someone in town for just the summer,…
Springtime in Portland is full of beautiful blooms and drastic weather swings. Last week we had a 90-degree day full of sun and beers on patios (yup, there was a lot of sunburnt Portlanders around town the next day) and then Monday was 50 and rainy. After spending the weekend in Vegas (weekend recap to come!) in…
They say trends come and go, but I think it’s more that they go through cycles. And I know it’s more than just the 90’s being alive in Portland… Or finding my grandfather’s ski onesie… InStyle even just put out an article about how the 90’s are making a comeback! Nothing say’s 90’s more than…
Goodbye, childhood. I’m not purposefully being dramatic, but I’m literally having to say goodbye to a big part of my childhood. My parents are selling the home I grew up in. whaaa… When I was home over Christmas, I had to help my mom go through everything in the house with the knowledge that it…

Or even to have a great run only to be hobbling around for a…
Living in Portland has ruined me for coffee forever!
I went to see Coco last night. (Side note: amazing!) The theater showed a holiday-themed Frozen “long short” beforehand, centered around holiday traditions. While my date and I were not as impressed as his 3-year-old niece probably would be, it got me thinking about traditions. I LOVE Christmas. The snow, the lights, the trees. Yummy…
I love fall. Beautiful foliage, blue skies, that crisp in the air. Boots and sweaters. I’m from a place famous for fall (Blue Ridge Mountains, anyone?). Fall in Breckenridge was hard for me. Undeniably beautiful… … but incredibly short lived. Fully “bloomed” aspens usually only lasted a week, maybe two. And then bare trees and…
I’m back in the land of #bikinilife. Yup, I’m back at the beach. As much as I love living in the mountains and truly think that’s the place for me, life wouldn’t simply not be complete without some beach time. Science says so Luckily science is on my side on this one. A recent study…
