The pandemic has been a scary unknown, but one thing we do know is that we’re supposed to stay away from other people in order to stop the spread of the virus. This becomes a bit more difficult when you live in a home with 19 roommates.

Last weekend my friend Ash and I organized a peaceful protest for the motorcycle community of Los Angeles in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. We didn’t know what to expect, or how many people would even show up, but I made a flyer and we spread the word as much as we could.

I moved into Starcity’s Penmar location last October. It’s an airy, bright, brand new building in Venice, California, and I fell completely in love with it! I’m linking all of my decor and furniture below.

I was recently missing pancakes, but hadn’t made them since I became vegan and gluten-free, so I had no idea what to do. I also find that most pancake recipes are filled with sweeteners and unnecessary ingredients. So I decided to develop my own super simple, sweetener-free, vegan and gluten-free recipe! I also added on a delicious, clean, 2-ingredient sauce.

The one thing I miss most about the outside world (other than seeing friends of course) is my daily outing to grab a tea latte.

I already suck at being single. But add a global pandemic into the mix?? This felt doomed from the start…

You guuuuys. You know that I eat super clean, but yo girl also loves SNACKS. I’m so excited to introduce you to Dirt Kitchen Snacks! They air dry veggies, some of which are rescued from being thrown out and wasted (total win for Planet Earth!), spice them up, and package them so they’re super portable and super delicious.

When I was younger, in my teens and 20s, I was a tomboy and stark feminist. No man was allowed to open the door for me or carry my luggage or pay for my dinner. What, you think I can’t do it myself! Of course I can! I had a lot to prove.

Just spent a girls’ weekend in Austin, Texas! It was my first time in Austin, and really in Texas (I was in Waco for a few hours in 2006, but I don’t really count that). We didn’t have any major plans for the weekend other than exploring Austin. And explore we did!! Here’s a little guide to the places we ate and explored.

Had such a fun time today exploring the Museum of Illusions in Hollywood, Los Angeles. There are multiple rooms with all kinds of crazy illusions that you can pose inside of. Ever wanted to fall off a cliff? You can! Scale a building? Yes! Fight a huge octopus? Mhmm!

If you’re going to shop this Black Friday weekend, might as well support small women-owned businesses! Here are my top picks.

Those that are close to me know that I’ve been struggling for the past year to define who I am. I’m divorced. In my marriage, I lost who I was. I gave it up. I took everything I loved and believed and put it aside to be the right person for my ex-husband.

This weekend I had the pleasure of staying at The Row in Reno, Nevada. I’d been to Reno a few times post-Burning-Man, but never really explored the city or the resort casinos.

Another day, another hotel review! Obviously I love collaborating with hotels, and LA is one of my favorite places to visit, so here’s another gorgeous LA property for you.

By now you guys know how much I love the Kimpton Hotels brand, so of course I was super excited to stay at one of their LA properties that I’d never been to: The Everly Hollywood.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m a professional photographer and a San Francisco local. So what does that mean? That I know all the best places to shoot!

I’ve been a huge fan of smoothie bowls ever since they became a thing (how did we ever live without them?!). But I’ve noticed that oftentimes, acai bowl bases in cafes are mixed with apple juice and other super sweet juices that I normally wouldn’t drink (plus they cost a fortune!).

I see a lot of people using LinkTree or a similar service, especially to add multiple links to an Instagram profile. I want to tell every last one of you, don't do it!! 

Fun fact: I found yoga in ‘04, when I was 18 (this was before the internet was hugely popular and everyone knew everything at all times), and have practiced on and off ever since.

Everyone knows the LBD (little black dress), but tbh I prefer a LBR (little black romper)! Anyone else?
