The older I get, the more strongly I feel about taking steps to ensure a lifetime of learning. I’m a naturally curious kinda gal, so gaining new skills and insights is hugely energizing for me. In fact just last weekend I took a photography workshop, and I can already see an improvement in my shooting […]
It’s been SO hard to keep this fun news under wraps, but at last I can let the cat out of the bag: My wedding is featured in the Winter 2018 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings! It just hit newsstands this week, and I definitely freaked out a few Target shoppers when I finally got […]
Although I was born in California and by now have lived here for much of my life, I’m pretty certain that I’ll never scratch the surface of all the greatness this state has to offer. From the towering forests of the north to the sprawling deserts of the south (not to mention everything in between), […]
It’s been nine months since my trip to India, and not a week goes by that I don’t experience a reminder of how that journey has impacted me. Sometimes it’s a big picture smack on the head—I’m still constantly struck by the vastness of that country’s landscape and the richness of its cultural heritage—but more […]
If you do only one thing this weekend, download the new podcast from my work wife Caroline Lee. It’s called Out of Line, and even if I weren’t Caroline’s biggest fan I’d still think it’s brilliant. Caroline sits down with public figures who are known for their online presence, then chats with them on a […]
One of our favorite things to do at Light Lab is open our doors to guests. After all, we put so much work into getting the space up and running that it’s fun to welcome others into our home—and yes, to show if off a little! If you’re in the LA area this Sunday evening, […]
I have known Elizabeth Dehn of Beauty Bets for almost as long as I’ve been blogging, I’ve always been in awe of all that she has created (Pinterest maven! skincare guru with One Love Organics!), and her latest endeavor is no exception. Over the years we’ve been through similar life changes as our relationship and career […]
This blog post would more aptly be titled, “I’ve got nothing to say but I also can’t simply say nothing”. As I’m sure is the case for most of us in the U.S right now, getting back to a normal routine after the Las Vegas shooting feels challenging, disrespectful, impossible. As someone who has always […]
Happy Labor Day Weekend! This week leading up to the final summer holiday has definitely been a doozy. Like everyone, I’ve been glued to the news for updates on the flooding and devastation wrought by Harvey; and here in LA we set heat records with temps soaring above 100 degrees for several days in a […]
I have a complicated relationship with many aspects of my physical appearance—it’s part and parcel of being human!—but the one I have always adored without reservations is my hair. Oh sure, I could find something to complain about if I looked for it. My strands stubbornly refuse to hold a curl, for example, and they […]
Last Sunday I attended an Enneagram workshop. (Do you know about the Enneagram? It’s an ancient personality typing system that’s uncannily accurate. Take this test to get your Enneagram number! I’m obsessed!) Anyhoo, I’m a Type 4, and true to type I tend to notice what’s missing in a situation before noticing what’s good about it. […]
After months of anticipation, I am so excited at last to share the official photos from my India travel last February! As I briefly mentioned on my return, my journey to the country was with Jaipur Living, an incredible home decor and lifestyle company that was born out of a sister company called Jaipur Rugs in […]
