Minimalism is a bummer.

100 Days of Happy: Day 4

4.9.2014 #97 - Covers of "Dancing On My Own" by Robyn At this point it is (or should be) a pretty well-known fact that I am completely obsessed with Robyn. The Swedish popstar rose to prominence in the mid-90s with "Show Me Love" (yes, it's the same Robyn), only to... Continue reading

100 Days of Happy: Day 3

4.8.2014 #98: Ridiculousness Pro-Tip: Never watch Rob Dyrdek's Ridiculousness at the gym. Some backstory... I've been trying to be better about going to the gym in the mornings lately, and since that's usually a near-epic struggle, I trick myself into thinking it's fun, relaxing "me time" by letting myself watch...

100 Days of Happy: Day 1

I'm back y'all. It's been a while. I was in Baltimore this weekend for a baby "sprinkle" celebrating my wonderful sister Claire (second baby + same gender as the 1st = much more casual shower, aka a "sprinkle"). While I was driving back today, along beautiful Route 20 South, through... Continue reading

As part of my goal to become a healthier, more wholly nourished person, I would really like to start focusing on plant-based foods as the basis for my meals. Fruits, vegetables and legumes offer a wide array of vitamins, minerals, and proven health benefits, their cultivation and production is kinder... Continue reading

It's 1:42am, my bedroom is approximately 900 degrees, and I have to get up for work in like 5 hours. And I can't sleep of course, because I fell asleep on the couch earlier, in front of an episode of Foyle's War with a massive portion of creamy pasta in... Continue reading

My sweet friend Valerie posted this on her blog the other day, and it's the most beautiful thing I've read in a while. Sometimes it's so good for your soul to learn about what makes your friends feel happy/safe/loved/excited/inspired/energized... and I've never experienced anything like watching Val raise her son...

I promise i'm going to stop writing posts about fire...

...but first, this: I've listened to this beautiful cover of one of my all-time favorite Springsteen songs like 47 times today. John Mayer, you may be a head-scarf wearing idiot, but DAMN IT IF YOU DON'T JUST HAVE THE MOST SOULFUL WHITE BOY VOICE IN THE WORLD. Continue reading

This girl is on fire

OMG it's been a month since I posted last... y'all. I'm the worst. In an effort to win back your love and admiration, I think we should talk about a universal crowd-pleaser, a fan favorite, a shoe-in, a real ace in the hole: Jennifer Lawrence. More specifically, Jennifer Lawrence as... Continue reading

Stray Observations

Thursday, October 24 looks like this... 1) All they play on the radio is Maroon 5 songs and commercials for laser hair removal. 2) I ordered Thai for lunch; when I opened the container my first thought was, "this is an exceptionally small amount of food for which I just... Continue reading

Wednesday Mensday: Adrien Brody

Since we're on a quiz roll today, here's another one: what do Lucy Liu's 2013 Golden Globes look and Adrien Brody have in common?? Answer: I'm 99.9% sure I'm the only person on earth who's head over heels in love with both of 'em. Adrien Brody is the example I... Continue reading

"Do You Live in a Bubble?" Because I sure as hell do.

A friend forwarded me this quiz from PBS Newshour this morning, and we both had a good laugh filling it out... she got a 9, I got a 36. Out of 100. Yikes. Some of the sentences are certainly worded... creatively... but in all I think it's an interesting perspective... Continue reading

Coming Attractions - August: Osage County

I love movies, and I love movie trailers (I like to get to the theater about 30 minutes before showtime for this express reason), so I thought it might be fun to do a regular feature where I pick a trailer for an upcoming film and ask what y'all think... Continue reading

Boss Lady Mondays: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

While many of you might be confused as to why I chose a woman whose main responsibilities are smiling, waving, collecting flowers and wearing clothes that sell out in 12 minutes as this week's boss lady... in form of reply, I give you this photograph: Because if Kate Middleton can...

Blog Love (part 1 of many)

(taking allergy medicine and reading Dlisted... ~~*cAN't u C iT's wE WHo 'bOUt ThAT LifE??**~~) I think it's safe to say that most bloggers started out writing because they first found other blogs that they read regularly and connected with, and wanted to contribute something to the blogging community in...

A Study In Pink

The other day at work, my coworkers and I got into a discussion about the whole concept of "being excited for fall"... when you live and work in a small college town near the Blue Ridge Mountains, experiencing all the clichéd dramatic changes of fall is not so much a... Continue reading

I got my first paycheck from my new job the other day, and while it's definitely not enough to afford the condo I had my eye on (major bummer), I feel I'm entitled to some sort of frivolous treat to celebrate my newfound taxpaying. I originally hit up the Urban... Continue reading

Return of the Mack

Guys. Sorry. I'm back now, I promise. As some of you may or may not know (and may or may not care), I recently started a new job... I am an account manager in the university division of an educational travel company and I work in Charlottesville. It's a great... Continue reading

(the artist, showing young whippersnappers what's up with her denim shirt game) I'm working on getting some ducks in a row today... sending e-mails, paying bills, filling out paperwork for my new 9 to 5 gig, and working on a fun styling project for one of my favorite mamas. Speaking... Continue reading

wednesday mensday: david beckham

Feeling truly out of whack today. I basically went off the grid for the past 5 or 6 days (as evidenced by my spotty blogging) and am paying the price: e-mails have gone unanswered, voicemails unresponded to, and texts have been read and immediately forgotten about. If you are one... Continue reading

There's a lot of craziness going on in the news today, and that's a lot to deal with on top of the usual Monday hideousness. I hope your day isn't too much of a bummer, but even if it is, this sweet and simple cover of one of my all-time... Continue reading

Boss Lady Mondays: Mindy Kaling

Hey y'all! Sorry I've been MIA lately... I can't believe it's been 6 days since I blogged last! That was exactly the opposite of my goal with this blog, so I promise to try and avoid so much radio silence in the future :) If it's any consolation, the reason... Continue reading

wednesday mensday: Rafael Nadal

I love Rafael Nadal because I love Spain, but I also love him because... because... well I had a point but then I got distracted by THOSE ARMS. In honor of his US Open win on Monday, I thought it only fair to give this week's Wednesday Mensday honors to... Continue reading

The Salad Days: Mediterranean Farro Salad

If a salad doesn't have any greens in it, is it still a salad? If a tree falls in the woods and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? If Jimmy Kimmel punks us, will Miley Cyrus finally end her ruthless assault on contemporary society... Continue reading
