Last year, I shared my winter and summer skin routines, and a lot of those habits have stuck. But as I continue to get nerdier and more obsessed with keeping my skin healthy, I’ve adopted a few new habits as well. Currently in my medicine cabinet: So what does my routine look like morning and… Continue reading skin routine for changing seasons

tbt tumblr vol. 2: charming outdoor things that do not reflect my life
It’s roughly ten million degrees in DC right now, and I am NOT a happy camper about it. I told my mom that I live on the surface of the sun. This is patently not true, and there are way hotter places to live. I just think I genuinely enjoy complaining about the weather. This… Continue reading tbt tumblr vol. 2: charming outdoor things that do not reflect my life
luh croy
I’m obsessed with La Croix. I drink at least one every day, usually a couple. Note: it is pronounced Luh Croy; it is not real French. It originated in Also-Fake-French La Crosse, Wisconsin. Under no circumstances should the R trill at all. It is not Lah Crrrrwah. Luh Croy rhymes with The Boy. Just deal… Continue reading luh croy
small happy weekend (summer)
What is your ideal weekend? I have had a great, great weekend this weekend, and it helped me realize that my favorite weekends have a lot in common with the “Small Happy Life” piece floating around this week. Here are some things that would be great additions to a small, happy weekend for me right now.… Continue reading small happy weekend (summer)
dogmato
Seed distribution. We all learned about it. And now my favorite dog ever has put it into practice. When I was home a month ago, I could not figure out why there were tomatoes growing in my parent’s front yard and in their front flower bed. There was some drama last summer because my mom discovered the… Continue reading dogmato
quiet days
With all that’s going on in the world, I am thankful to be snuggled in with a big, sweet dog and not scared or threatened tonight. I’m also glad that Ib is safe in DC, instead of on a reporting trip to Ferguson, MO, where two of his coworkers are not so lucky. Feels providential… Continue reading quiet days
home again home again
It was a long couple weeks wrapping up at work. Long hours, tying up loose ends, and making sure everything is set for my successor. But the payoff is real. I’m now at the lake with the family and no work dragging my mind away from the tasks at hand: relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the… Continue reading home again home again
the new city of brotherly love
So after all my biznatching over United on Thursday, my favorite brother eventually did touch down in DC on the morning of the 4th. We had an absolutely delightful 4th of July weekend tooling around the city and laying low in the apartment. Literally laying: I kind of wanted to leave this air mattress set… Continue reading the new city of brotherly love
indulgences
This hilarious spot is around the corner from my block, and I sometimes walk by just for my own personal satisfaction. You never know when you may need these services. What’s up. Astro Donuts. The one in the upper left is a creme brulee donut, and LET ME TELL YOU, it was arguably one of… Continue reading indulgences
maxin’, relaxin’
How have we already gotten to July? The only reasoning I can come up with is if June was about ten minutes long. But in the midst of travel and crazy and work, there’s been a few things to enjoy while wearing this bright red scarf, my Shinola, and some Clubmasters. The plants stay home to… Continue reading maxin’, relaxin’
