Fun Stuff
Almost finished with a super fun month-long project that the company I work for, CreativeLive, kicked off for February. It’s called 28 to Make! 28 days of simple creative exercises that take 20 min or less and really spark your imagination. I’ve had so much fun with this and even snagged some new tools (ink & […]
I had my passport before I had even turned 1. Before I was eighteen I had moved 5 times. Since then, it has been a move almost every single year. That’s a lot of packing tape and trips to Home Depot. For all intents and purposes, I am a modern nomad, endlessly searching for a […]
It’s funny, the new year always brings freshness but here in the NW it brings more and more grey. We’re a long ways from Spring and warmer days. On certain days the cloud blanket loses its coziness and instead feels a little heavier and it starts to creep into your activities in a moody fashion. […]
Capping off my fall travel spree I zipped down to SF for a little fun. Let’s start with my old neighborhood, the Mission. Visited Mission Pie for a bite (and a drink) and even spotted Phil himself at the original Philz Coffee. All in all, a sunny and fabulous visit.
We’ve all been there. Meeting your friend’s significant other for the first time is always a little, well, sketchy. You just never know. All parts of you are hoping this will be the dream scenario: the person is great, your friend is happy, and bonus you dig them enough to potentially have Friendsgiving with them […]
Portland is known for delicious food. On this most recent trip down to the Rose City I paid special attention to the details in the eateries themselves. It has always been an interest of mine and lately, I’m beginning to see it developing into a passion. 23Hoyt sits in the NW area of the city […]
I have a dear dear friend who goes by @Featherscroll on Instagram. Early on in our friendship we made a tradition of sketching together (even if it’s stick figures which I usually do, she however is SUPER talented). We started meeting every Wednesday morning over coffee before work and when schedules and location got more […]
It’s amazing how sometimes forcing yourself to take a break and see the sky and breathe the air will just fuel you. Hey, coffee doesn’t hurt either it’s true. What about both? In a really happy turn of events we’ve started little coffee breaks or lunchtime photo strolls at the office. Today I had a […]
Maybe you’ve heard of Salt & Straw but don’t get all the fuss. It’s just ice cream, right? WRONG. Insanely long line? Worth it. Too many flavor options? Worth it. But I have to get to Portland to eat this stuff? People, worth it. Also, they have a shop in LA so West Coasters I […]
Once upon a time in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood there lived an adorable little coffee and wine shop named Vif. No seriously, it’s that cute. The food is that tasty. Vif has all the comfort of being a heroine in a storybook all cuddled up by the fire with your woodland creatures singing to you. I […]
