explore: Waitomo Glowworm Cave, New Zealand
Let’s be honest: New Zealand is to Australia what New Jersey is to New York. Yet, if everyone knew about a certain hidden gem, people might think differently. Located in Waitomo, once you enter the Waitomo Glowworm cave, you are gradually greeted to the radiant glow of thousands of glowworms that illuminate the waterway during the … Continue reading
live: Spring Gardening Ideas
April showers bring May flowers. It is safe to say that spring is officially here, and if you delayed on planting seasonal flowers in fear of a freak winter storm, there is no need to delay any further: it looks like you’re in the clear. Some of my favorite flowers are in bloom during this … Continue reading
appreciate: Chloe Cockburn
It is still a common misconception that people can’t find the time to do all the things they are interested in. If anyone needs yet another example that this is possible, look no further than Chloe Cockburn. Cockburn is an acclaimed civil rights lawyer by day, but when she isn’t working on policy reform, she is painting a collection of gorgeous abstract … Continue reading
listen: “Digital Witness” by St. Vincent
YouTube is a great source for parodies that comment on the state of the union or the affect of media through song, but it has been awhile since a song directly addresses the subject head on. Enter singer/songwriter Annie Clark aka St. Vincent. With her new single, “Digital Witness”, she talks about people use and are … Continue reading
drink: Jalapeno Margaritas
I have publicly admitted that one of my guilty pleasures is the Bravo reality television show, “Vanderpump Rules“. Since the finale aired, I’ve been feeling withdrawal symptoms from not hearing Stassi’s snarky asides and Kristen’s catty comments every Monday night.

Every year, a new food craze is born . Last year, it was kale. This year, it feels like chia pudding, or anything with chia is becoming popular with food aficionados (though I like to think I was ahead of the trend). Not only is chia pudding pretty to look at, it’s also healthy and … Continue reading
wear: Kat Graham’s Style
It’s easy to fawn over people who dress classically, who never veer away from the expected norm; I do it all the time on this blog. But every now and then, it doesn’t hurt to praise those who are not afraid to take fashion risks ( and successfully pull them off) and actress/singer Kat Graham is one … Continue reading
live: Agate Coasters
Move over crystal, agate is having a moment. The beautiful, colorful rock formation with its ribbons of color gradation of different widths and shapes is quickly becoming a design staple. From glasses to table table tops, there’s no way to avoid it, and why would you want to? The gateway to ease myself into the beauty that … Continue reading
