First World Tea Problems As someone who is newly vegan and caffeine-lite, I’m still trying to hard to form new habits. One of my favorite habits was enjoying a nice cup of coffee at one of our many brilliant Seattle coffee shops, or savoring the gourmet concoctions CJ would make for me on a Saturday […]
Shop
I like a lot of things. I like to write about the things I like.
My World is Being Rocked by a Lady
By a lady fantasy writer! I cannot even begin to express the euphoria I feel when I discover a new author, book, or series that can pull me out of my life and take me on an amazing adventure. Even though I devour books like french toast (I like french toast, ok?), it’s rare to find a book […]
Meg’s Lindy Shoe Review
I give my shoes a lot of attention. They’re in a good number of my Good Morning, Seattle photos and they have their own galleries on my blog. But I never photograph my dance shoes! Partially because I don’t wear them on my morning walks, and also because they are often…well worn. In the seven years […]
Bluetooth Headphones Improve My Day
My morning walk might be the most important part of my day. It gets my body moving, I get to enjoy fresh air, pick up a cup of coffee, listen to music, and essentially meditate before my day begins. I require three very important things for my walk to achieve all my goals: a comfortable […]
E-Readers Made Me Forget the Author
I had coffee this afternoon with a friend who is a novelist and a publisher. We’ve frequently talked about the pros and cons of the e-reader vs physical books, but today I shared with him how e-readers have entirely changed the way I interact with a book and author. Kindle Love I’m a huge fan of […]
Special Delivery: Caffeine to Face
Waste Not Last January, I made several resolutions – most of which I don’t remember. The one I DO remember was my resolution to be less wasteful. As a person who frequents coffee shops, I was tossing out multiple paper cups per day. At work, we have paper plates and plastic(corn)ware that are often chosen over the […]
Ode to My Fitbit
Technically Perfect…for me. I love my Fitbit One. It’s been essentially glued to me since the day I got it. I chose this particular Fitbit for three reasons: It had a visible display with actual numbers reflecting what I’ve done during the day (as opposed to arbitrary light-up dots). I can wear it in my bra […]
This Week’s Happy: New Apartment Therapy Book!
One of my absolutely favorite blogs to read is Apartment Therapy. I like to save up the week’s posts until Saturday morning so I can spend the first hour of my weekend snuggled up in bed looking at all of the beautiful home ideas. Blogs like this one inspired me to try painting my great-grandfather’s cabinet. (Check out Domestic […]
Product Review: Things That Suck – Vacuums!
Ultimate Vacuuming Power…in an itty bitty living space… (Yes, that was a reference to Aladdin. I was a child of the 90s, ok?) I’m sure I’ve mentioned it, but I’ll say it again: My husband and I live in a very small (and very fabulous) loft, so we’re always looking for ways to conserve space […]
Product Review: The Anti Cat Barf Device
I have two cats with two distinctly different feeding requirements. Roxie Loves to Eat Roxie is a fat cat. Her favorite hobby is what one might call “gorge and purge“. The rules of this activity are simple: Eat really, really fast. Relocate from hardwood to carpet. Barf all recently consumed food onto aforementioned carpet. Return […]
