By: Chelsea We are all busy. Existence is a full-time gig; an all or nothing event. However, when did we (myself included) begin using the word BUSY as the predominant adjective for every single act. I am busy sleeping, eating, exercising, working, grocery shopping, spending time with friends, cleaning, errand running, getting ready, planning, living, … Continue reading »
I arrived at LAX more than an hour and a half before my flight. “Impressive,” my internal self-chatter beamed. I usually cut it a little closer to the wire giving myself an hour tops to wait, but this was somewhat of a mother’s day surprise so I didn’t want to take any chances. My preparation … Continue reading »
I have been searching for a chair-esque, quasi-bench piece of furniture for months. Type chair bench into a Google search and many, many options flood your visual cortex. Google takes one quite literal these days. If chair : one, then bench : ten. There is no in-between. Booth is even worse. You will wind up … Continue reading »
At the end of last year I bought a juicer from Target on clearance for $18; it was down from $60 so it was a deal I could not pass up. I wouldn’t consider myself a “juicer” – I love eating. However, after recently reading the book Clean and following Dr. Oz’s detox week bonanza, … Continue reading »
By: Chelsea Join me on the General Jackson Showboat down the Cumberland river in Nashville, TN. So often we view the places we visit from one perspective, predominantly the ground. However, I relaxed and lounged my afternoon down the river and crept up behind downtown Nashville on a showboat. Wined and dined like a queen … Continue reading »
By: Chelsea Went out for a bite and a margarita with my boyfriend tonight. Caught a few funny responses from the mariachi band, but they sure played a cheery song for us nonetheless! Happy Cinco De Mayo! Be safe Continue reading »
By: Chelsea I purchased Clean (as an iBook) by Dr. Alejandro Junger a few years ago. My mom actually told me about it after an NPR program. I am kind of a nutrition, self-improvement, wellness, yoga book junkie. Funny thing, I actually forgot this read was on my iPad. Sorry, Dr. Junger, it has nothing … Continue reading »
By: Chelsea “You gotta try the biscuits.” The same short statement from a whole lot of strangers. Now I am not a Southern girl, but with a breakfast like the one I had at the Loveless Cafe in Nashville, I actually feel disappointed that I am not a Tennessean by blood. The biscuits are served … Continue reading »
By: Chelsea Move over GROUPON. I just spent $20 for $300-$400 worth of clothing. If you’ve listened to the catchy radio-friendly version of Thrift Shop, you’ve probably heard that even Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have to spend time “popping tags.” Pop tags: When you have so much money that all you do is buy clothing. … Continue reading »
By: Chelsea It’s time to get outta town. I love Los Angeles, but sometimes I need to feel space. Surrounded by concrete and bumper to bumper traffic, an open road and ocean are the contrasts I am craving. So my boyfriend and I packed up a breakfast picnic and hit the road for a PCH … Continue reading »
