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 »

Airport & Friends
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 »
Secondhand Saturdays w/ Chels: Kitchen Spruce for $20
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 »
Carrot Juice for Breakfast?
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 »
Ep. 3 “All Aboard” / General Jackson Showboat, Nashville
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 »
Secondhand Sundays w/ Chels: $20 In My Pocket
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 »
Scones on the Pacific Coast Highway
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 »

Thankful for Thursday
By: Chelsea I had “one of those days,” yesterday. When I woke up this morning, I was thankful for Thursday and for… the auto brew option on the coffeemaker. The good friend it is always has hot coffee ready for me. And for the sunrise through my kitchen windows; it even made its way to … Continue reading »
Super Simple Soup – Use What You Already Have
By: Chelsea On Monday morning I opened my fridge and found that I had a lot of leftover vegetables that had been purchased with good intent of eating. I may have chosen a slice of pizza over salad one night (chocolate over celery, an extra scoop of egg salad nix the tomato), and now there … Continue reading »
