Once upon a time, Michael and I celebrated Valentine’s Day in the Hallmark way: cards, flowers, chocolate, jewelry, and a mandatory “nice” dinner. But it quickly grew stale, and once we began traveling we began to celebrate it in a more understated way. It’s certainly a strange holiday (here’s a brief history, if you’re wondering), …
On Monday I shared my final looks for the 10 x 10 Challenge, and now that I’ve returned to my full wardrobe and had a few days to reflect on the challenge, I wanted to share my final thoughts. Missed ’em? See all the Winter 10 x 10 Posts here: Preview | Days 1 – …
We did it! Yesterday was the last day of the Winter 10 x 10 Challenge (confused by those words? Start here!), so I’m going to go ahead and share the final four looks with you today. On Thursday, I’ll share a wrap-up of the challenge which will include my favorite + least favorite outfits. This …

Hi 10 x 10 Friends! Three days down, seven to go. I’ve really enjoyed seeing everyone’s item choices and outfit combinations so far (although I think my favorite ones are always towards the end of the ten days, where we all have to get a little extra creative to change things up)! At the end …

noma, the restaurant by New Nordic Cuisine pioneers Rene Redzepi and Claus Meyer, is reopening soon with a new concept, so I thought I’d share our experiences dining at the restaurant’s first iteration back in June 2015. Edit: Since publishing this trip down memory lane, the restaurant has reinvented itself multiple times—head here to learn …
Before Michael and I take any type of trip, we are usually very busy planning an itinerary. While it may seem counterintuitive to spend time that could be used for creating a travel plan watching television, we always dedicate a couple of hours to watching TV shows and films set in, or about, the place …
About a year before we visited Nashville, we visited Memphis, Tennessee (I imagine most people visit those two cities in the opposite order). This was back in July 2016, nearly nine months before we started this blog. I plan on sharing some of our past trips in this space this year; I hope you don’t mind!
There are many external reasons why I’m ready to say farewell to 2017, but internally I’ve never felt happier and healthier: Despite an unexpected move from our condo, Michael and I settled into our new space almost seamlessly. By visiting the gym almost daily, my body has grown stronger and leaner. By removing unnecessary clutter …
