Just mere days after completing my first half marathon, I had signed up for my next one. My legs were still sore and the pain I felt after finishing that race was still fresh in my mind. And yet, I coughed up the $85 and put the March 24th race on my...
1. Spent some times volunteering at the zoo this weekend for my Junior League placement. I'm looking forward to affiliating with the New Haven chapter when we move. 2. It was 40 degrees with 35mph winds for my half marathon on Sunday. But in the end,...
Last Wednesday, I spent the evening talking skincare and make-up with my sweet friend, Casey. While not only knowledgeable about skincare (she's a Licensed Esthetician and PCA SKIN® Certified Chemical Peel Professional), she's also an all-star...
We're moving! I can't believe I'm writing this but it's officially official! This summer we'll be making the trek from Dallas to New Haven, CT. C has been accepted to Yale's MBA program and we couldn't be more excited (and I couldn't be more...

1. I bought this book which I started to pour over this weekend. I have so much to learn but I think it will be really fun to finally begin to master my camera. 2. C had his first triathlon of the season on Sunday. It was chhiiilllyyyy and super...
It wasn't too long ago that I was raving about the new Kiehl's products I'd just picked up. While that system seemed to work for me for over a year, I could tell it was time to change things up. My skin has been all over the board - super oily, super...
I was pumped to receive the KitchenAid pasta maker attachment for my birthday from my little sister! It was even funnier when the exact same thing showed up on our doorstep. First wedding registry present and we had to return it. But props...
