I Got a Tattoo.

Chickpea Salad Sandwich
The weather in Colorado is so perfect, it’s ridiculous (sorry Texas friends). All I want to do is be outside 24/7, whether it is in the form of running, hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, doing yoga in the park, playing volleyball, reading in my hammock, or just having a picnic with friends. All this activity though […]
I Quit! Why I’m Taking a Break From a Job I Love

San Sebastian is One of My Favorite Places
San Sebastián, Spain quite possibly my new favorite place!

Texas Veggie Fair 2014
Yes the State Fair of Texas is 20 minutes from me, but I opted for a better fair this year, the Texas Veggie Fair! This was the 5th annual Texas Veggie Fair here in Dallas. Last year, over 7000 people celebrated with food, products, live music, speakers, games, activities + information which promote healthier, kinder, more sustainable […]
