Are you tired of holiday tunes yet? No, me neither! I could listen to variations on ‘O Tannenbaum’ pretty much 24/7 this time of year—and sometimes do, much to my boyfriend’s chagrin! But even though the Nutcracker Suite never gets old, it’s nice to mix it up too. Which is why I’m sharing this holiday […]
Last week I chatted with the amazing Jessica Murnane for her One Part Podcast, and the interview is now live! Jessica had reached out to me after reading the intro to Sage Living and wanted to know more about the journey that led me to write the book. We chatted about the relationship between our […]
Don’t quote me on this, but I read somewhere that in the last year alone, more photos were taken than in all of previous human history. That’s a ton of images, isn’t it? Most of them, like the snaps I send my mom of my pets wearing funny outfits, are ephemeral and needn’t exist anywhere but in […]
It is so easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of holiday stress. Even when I have the best intentions, I can quickly slide into a crabby, cranky place that spoils the fun for myself and everyone around me. I then make matters worse by heaping on the judgmental self-talk: “What’s wrong with you, Anne? It’s the […]
Happy Thanksgiving to all who will be sitting down to a feast this week! If you’re still looking for Turkey Day menu inspiration, here’s the perfect Thanksgiving appetizer, a tangy holiday cocktail, and a pumpkin creme brulee for dessert. I’ll be spending time today and tomorrow with family in Reno, but expect me back with a full […]
As I’m discovering, releasing a book is basically just a really great excuse to get out and talk to people! Case in point: This Saturday I’ll be hanging out and signing books at Rolling Greens Los Angeles as they kick off their annual holiday market! Come out and say hi, take a mixology class with the […]
Releasing a large body of work is a daring exercise in vulnerability, and a book is no exception. Yet as scary as it is to pour your heart into something and offer it up for public fodder, it’s also a valuable lesson in feeling the fear and doing it anyway. I’m grateful to say that launch of […]
A few weeks ago I had the chance to attend the Oddball Comedy Festival where the HP Sprout Truck Tour was making a stop. The Sprout truck is basically a tech education experience on wheels, complete with experts on hand to answer questions and impress with their prowess. I’ve shared my explorations of the Sprout’s […]
Perhaps I’m biased because I live here, but I’ve gotta say: LA is a pretty cool city. Over the years it’s gotten a bad rap as a vapid sprawl, but the reality is vast, vibrant territory full of adventures just waiting to be had. The city’s ever-evolving cultural landscape makes for a constant deluge of […]
When I first started blogging, what I loved most was getting off the computer and meeting with colleagues for some real-world inspiration. With the digital landscape so crowded these days, IRL interactions have become more valuable than ever! That’s why I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at the Digital Influencer Lab, a 1-day blogger conference […]
We all have that friend. The one who buys a white sofa with full confidence that it will remain in mint condition forever. Who wears white tees and dresses with impunity, even while eating chips and salsa. She’s always artfully yet effortlessly put together, and she makes life look easy. As much as we’d love […]
