Classic Sunday Dinner
In my mind Sunday dinner equals family, gathered around a table, for a hearty meal. Ideally, the meal should be eaten at a leisurely pace, with the table cleared between courses, a tablecloth, and linen napkins. In my mind nobody does hearty, leisurely, cuisine quite like the French. My go-to Sunday dinner:
Desktop Organization
It had never once occurred to me to “organize” my desktop. Sure, I purge every now and again, search, find, and lose – but never have I really organized this space that I use every day, all day long. I just hadn’t put much thought into it. Until I came across Iheartplanners, a blog dedicatedContinue reading “Desktop Organization”
30 Minute Laundry
Laundry isn’t exactly the sort of topic that gets everyone all up in a lather with excitement, but it’s something that must be done … into each life a little Tide will fall. When I’m home for a good long stretch, Sunday laundry day is one of my favorite days of the week. And, byContinue reading “30 Minute Laundry”
My Gear List
Prepping for my next big voyage: Toronto, Amsterdam, and London. Is it in bad taste if I thank the tragic Ebola outbreak for saving my Labor Day weekend and cancelling my leg in Pretoria? Figured I’d share my packing lists: After a luggage-check mishap in the UK earlier this year I am now firmly committed toContinue reading “My Gear List”
Pretensious D-Bags and an LA Blow Job
Here I am, at a Hollywood hot spot, post $35 blow out, sporting my “Kelsey” (apparently named after a celebrity I know not) manicure, drinking a glass of $15 Pinot Grigio. All this Hollywood glamour brings only one thing to mind, “Pretensious!” Sitting at Sunset and Vine I’m eavesdropping on some would-be-perhaps-is “Film Guy” pontificateContinue reading “Pretensious D-Bags and an LA Blow Job”
Home Organization: Make-up Brush Holders
I am an addict. I am addicted to make-up tutorials and home organization videos. I know, there are more important ways for me to spend my time, but they just don’t offer the same mind-numbing thrill as turning on a good “Get Ready with Me” make-up montage while prepping, primping, and priming for a day atContinue reading “Home Organization: Make-up Brush Holders”
Airport Zen
Park and Ride drop offs; shoes-off-tech-out security screenings; gate change; screaming kids; and octogenarians who have never flown before all collide into one frenetic, frustrating, infuriating pulse during the experience that is airplane travel. But, when you travel as frequently as I do (just got my Platinum Medallion welcome kit, WooHoo!) if you let the airportContinue reading “Airport Zen”
Never Eat Where You Can Sit to Pee
A few general rules to follow when traveling abroad … 1. Never carry what you can roll. 2. Eat before you’re hungry. 3. Never miss a chance to pee.
Not a Victim
When I tell people about places I’ve been, or where I’m going, I occasionally get “The Look”. The Look is that face of disapproval that screams, “Do you want to be raped, murdered, sold into sexual slavery, and then dumped into a septic tank?” It’s a rhetorical and silent question, but if I had theContinue reading “Not a Victim”
