There is something so wonderful about the seasons changing, especially when it's fall. I know it's clichè; but I am a total fall girl...especially when it comes to fashion. Blazers, deep hues, the temperature dropping just enough to reach for a jacket or scarf is always a...

While preparing a quarantine birthday cake I came across a delicious chocolate cake recipe (by add a pinch). I had to play with it a little to make it fit with my food allergies and taste preferences, but I am so proud of the results. The cake...
Animal print was huge this fall, and it isn't going anywhere! I am not sure if Tiger King mania is partially to blame, or if it's the fact that animal print can often work as a great neutral or base for an outfit. Here are some of...
I have long hair and prefer to get regular blowouts. When traveling to places off the beaten, that can sometimes be difficult to come by. Before our trip to India I knew that our time in the Tiger Camps would be difficult on my hair so I...
I have always been a big believer in the number 5. Not only was I born on April 5th, but my parents, my sister, and both of my boys have a 5 in their birth dates. So when I realized I was only one country short of...
I wish I could tell you that I found OhZone Clinics after researching the health benefits, but I was actually looking for a place to sweat after feeling bloated for several days in a row. I had heard about OhZone through friends and loved the idea of...

This week has been amazing. I have been focusing on the transition from Summer to Fall both in life and in fashion. The time between seasons can be tough as we leave one behind and look forward to another, but I always use it as a time...

Tie-dye is everywhere this season, and I have to admit I am thrilled! I think it's the Oregonian in me, but I have always loved tie-dye. You have to be careful because you can go overboard, so it's best to pick and choose your pieces. But it...
Pour your self a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together. - Elizabeth Taylor

Nothing beats a cocktail on the beach in paradise, but something that comes pretty close is getting a bartender on demand, whenever you need it. As someone who is involved with a lot of events, I always have a need for help – whether its servers or...
I am embarrassed to admit, it took me years to work a denim jacket into my wardrobe. They always seemed like they were more suited to the "effortlessly cool girls" and I didn't feel like I was one of them. Once I got my hands on one,...
