Hello June.
I’m starting you out by doing a challenge because, well, sometimes I’m a little crazy, but mostly I like to consistently challenge myself. So, I will be giving up my most beloved Sassy Fit for just one month to embark on finding my inner yogi.
A local yoga studio in Seattle, Urban Yoga Spa, is doing a 30-day yoga challenge in June. Basically, you can sign up to commit to three... Read more

A couple weeks ago, I was out with some of my guy friends, drinking brewskies at The Polish House on Capitol Hill. (If you’re from Seattle and haven’t been, it’s a community center that opens on Fridays only as an Polish beer hall and restaurant. Totally awesome, I know). I can’t remember what exactly the topic at hand was, but one of them asked me something along the... Read more
Last weekend I made my first attempt at homemade ice cream, well – peach frozen yogurt to be exact. I had some girlfriends over for a “We Don’t Watch Lost” party (not that I’m knocking Lost, I just got off track a few seasons ago, and have yet to back on the wagon).
I pulled the recipe out of the pamphlet that came with my ice cream maker. Three ingredients total (2 cups of... Read more
Last week I purchased a Cuisinart ice cream and sorbet maker from one of my online shopping obsessions RueLaLa.com. (If you’re not a member, hit me up, and I’ll send you an invite. The deals are amazing!)
No, I totally did not need an ice cream machine. This is obviously up there with one of my most frivolous purchases ever. Although, I’m pretty sure my onion saver takes the cake in that... Read more
Tonight is the last game of the season for my kickball team, Ballstache. My time as coach is coming to an end, and I have to say, it’s been a rough season, to say the least. We’ve:
Lost every game, (even the closest of the closest games that came down to the last inning), leaving us the worst in the league. Breaks my heart, I tell you. I think they might be trading me out of Seattle. Guess I... Read more
Health, health, health I tell you!
Here’s what I’m up in a crazed daze about lately:
Trader Joe’s always and forever till I die, homie. More specifically, their salads and their new Mini Cafe Twists (made without dairy, butter, eggs or yeast). I’m not actually sure what they’re made of, but at only 30 calories a piece they’re pretty awesome with some strawberries and... Read more
Saturday I attended Seattle Fashion Week for the first time with part of the Girl Power Hour Power Team… we got all gussied up and hit the town in bright, springtime dresses. I felt like a princess, not only were we given front row VIP tickets, but Vera Wang was showing her Spring and Fall 2010 line at the show (her first time ever in Seattle!)
I’ve never been to a legit fashion show before,... Read more
How does your garden grow?
Yesterday I went to the Ballard Sunday Farmer’s Market with my family as part of our Mother’s Day adventures. Usually, we’re partial to the Fremont Sunday Market, which is a regular agenda for our family days. However, we decided to mix it up, and thank God for that. The Ballard market is amazing - full of organic fruit, homemade pies, ice cream bars, soaps,... Read more
I’ve been hearing about this Zumba stuff for quite awhile. First was from the lovely Chelsea from Chelsea Talks Smack, who I believe actually taught/teaches a class. Next, an insanely bright yellow sign cropped up in my neighborhood, advertising a Zumba class. And then the final straw, the studio I go to every week for celebrity bootcamp added a class.
So I had to try it. At least once. Like that... Read more
I went to work this morning with a little remnant of half a mustache on my finger.
Totally worth it.
Cinco de Mayo was silly and fun, per usual.
Sometimes, I think about things I want to be reincarnated as in my next life. Mexican is definitely on my list. Such amazing food, people and culture.
Ole!
