Nine weeks. With the Safe-at-Home order in effect, a teenager not in school and the ability to work from home, I’ve been home for that many weeks. In all these weeks there has been soooooo much extra time. Time that used-to be spent going to restaurants, shopping or on a vacation. You’d think in all […]
i launched a podcast! 🎙
Podcasts have been on the top of my list of favorites since 2015. The discovery of the podcast Serial (season one is still the OG in my book) led me down a rabbit-trail of entertainment, learning and storytelling I could never have imagined. Podcasts are the modern version of the old-time radio show, though I […]
quick daily makeup: quarantine edition
I ❤️ makeup. As I’ve gotten older and actually learned more about makeup, the purpose of each product and their application, I’ve grown to love it even more. There is just something about a trip to Sephora or the Nordstrom beauty counter than can bring some sunshine to a gloomy day. During this quarantine/self-isolation/shelter-at-home time, […]
quarantine thrivival kit

Eat. Beach. Sleep. Repeat. Wednesday day should have been renamed WindyDay. Back to the pool it was! I was able to read well into my book club’s February pick, Such a Fun Age. While I love being near the water and having my nose in a book, what I was really excited about was Date Night! […]
Grand Cayman!
“Sometimes one needs to be out in the wind and next to the Sea. It clears the mind and fills the heart….Making way for a brand new start.” -MEM There aren’t a lot of things I will wake up for at  2:30 a.m. The beach is one of them. And, when the beach is Grand […]
The Writing Workout
Hello? Is this thing on? We’ve all experienced the same feeling when pressing the power button on a remote or some other battery-operated device we haven’t seen in a while. You know the feeling of uncertainty. Is it going to respond? If it doesn’t, is it just the battery or has the device given up […]
Let’s Be About the Small Things
“That bodysuit that snaps at the crotch that you insist on wearing with high-waisted jeans and a Brighton belt is a mistake.” 100% percent. It was a mistake in the early 90s and, bless it, it is a mistake in 2017. (I’m looking at you, high school girls.) Scattered throughout Melanie Shankle’s soon-to-be-released book, Church […]
