I don’t have a lengthy daily beauty routine, but there are a few products that I love and use almost every day. 1 I put Lancome Aquatique Eyecolour Base on my lids and under my eyes. A little bit goes a long way to cover up veiny eyelids and dark circles. Not that someone my…
Thighs Clapping Playlist
I grew up with the infamous Napster, making playlists and burning CDs to play in my sweet little red Saturn. Napster and Saturn have since ceased operations, as Wikipedia would say. Now there are several online streaming services to choose from and for the last couple years we’ve been using Spotify. I initially thought it was…
Goldfish Book List
Anytime I hear about a book on MPR or hear a recommendation I jot it down, because I have the memory of a goldfish. The number of notepads I go through at work is astonishing. Many times I go through them and find a forgotten report/email/presentation I’d promised. Below is my goldfish book list. Big Magic by…

Reading A Dog’s Purpose. I needed something light after my last two books, but didn’t want to buy anything. (I should really get my butt back to the library.) Both Nolan and I have read it and I’ve borrowed it to several people. It’s a good read for any dog owner. Cooking Lots of Blue…

I actually wish I would have done this for all of our vacations, because I…

Cause it’s my blog and I can write whatever I want! In reality, I don’t DIY enough to consistently develop content, and because…
Mix it up
I love mixing up my workouts, because it’s good for your body and I get bored really easily. From Orange Theory Fitness to classes at Lifetime Fitness to hot yoga to the barre to CorePower Yoga to Tracy Anderson Method videos, I’m always up for trying something new. I’ve long wanted to try SoulCycle, but the closest studio is…
In case you cared what I’ve eaten the past two weeks
Thanksgiving came and went so fast, as did this berry twist pie that Nolan put some serious time into. The past several years Nolan has taken the cooking reins and done all the cooking. Not only that but he makes these hilarious menus. 2015 Thanksgiving Menu Holiday Brie en Croute How French of me! Sugar…
Copy/Paste
Blogging is way easier if you just talk about things you find online and not actually do anything. Like: Make this salad Buy this cycling tank and get on my trainer set up again. Boo winter. Hope that it’s this snowy at Winter Park come January. Convince myself that these won’t look like they were…
