Brand Highlight | Balthazar & Rose
A few years ago for Christmas my husband bought me, my first Fauta from Balthazar & Rose. Proceeds benefited (RED) an organization my husband is passionate about.

Wear it Wednesday | How to look stylish & be functional in the mountains
I live in Colorado, the pervasiveness of functional clothing is everywhere, and when you plan to spend any amount fo time outdoors, functional is necessary. But you can look cute too.

Honestly, probably no one will notice, in general a little effort makes it easy for everyone to look like they belong [...]

33 Things for my 33rd Birthday
I’m 33. Let that sink in for a moment. Phew. Okay, so I’ve been chasing big dreams for the last few years and even if it looks like sunshine and rainbows from the outside I’m here to tell it is not. Lots of late nights, lots of waiting to get paid, lots of NO’s, lots [...]
Painted Mines 2019
On a recent visit with a friend, we ventured out to Calhan, Colorado to hike Painted Mines Park. This interpretive park is in the opposite direction of most things in Colorado Springs, you will need to leave town and go east to Calhan. I’m really great at getting lost and with the help of my [...]
