My goal is to get all caught up on travel posts before my big summer vacation. It is a rather lofty goal, mind you, because I still have to tell you about Hawaii and Victoria, B.C. at the very least….

YAY! Today I’m bringing you my very first In The Fitting Room video ! I stopped into Lane Bryant and Maurices recently to check out their new offerings and try on a variety of items. In…

I’m back at KATU’s Afternoon Live to share my tips for print-mixing! This seems like a bit of an overwhelming topic to a lot of people. I know plenty of folks who would never dream of…

The weather is finally starting to turn sunny ( but as I type this it is cold and rainy, of course ). My allergies have been insane, making me feel completely miserable and unproductive….

The last couple of weeks have been full of allergy-related stuffiness and migraines. I’m sick of it. And because of that, I haven’t been as productive as I would have liked. Still, I did manage to…

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” - Steve Jobs It is easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. I’m just as guilty of it as anyone,…

It is still incredibly cold in my neck of the woods, and I’m longing for Spring. I need more sunshine to combat this anxiety and depression. I need decent weather for getting out in…

Fresh breath, clean teeth, and proper oral health are very important to me. To this day, I have only ever had one cavity, and it was so teeny, tiny that it was hardly anything to write home…

My latest Afternoon Live segment was all about styling graphic tees beyond jeans and a t-shirt. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing jeans and a t-shirt and your comfiest sneakers, I…

One beautiful afternoon in the fall, before the weather turned cold and icy, I ventured to Laurelhurst Park in Portland to take some photos. I’d never been to this park before. It was…

Today’s look is one of the crop top examples I used in my latest Afternoon Live segment on breaking the plus size fashion rules. It features this cropped sweater from Leith, a Nordstrom brand I…

Today’s post is brought to you by the letter V, for Valentine’s Day and Va-va-voom! I long put off trying on the somewhat intimidating bodycon dress, but every time I try one on I surprise myself…

This month on my latest Afternoon Live segment, I decided to start the new year talking about the “plus size fashion rules” and how to break them. We’ve all heard these “rules” - that plus size…

Some might say that I’m presenting my year in review a bit late, but I don’t like to half-ass things. I like to do things with my whole ass. That takes time. And while I strive for…

Slowly catching up over here with another outfit post! This time I’m bringing you what I wore to Friendsgiving. That weekend was so hectic! I did a KATU segment in Portland and…

Happy 2019!! I’m back with a brand new outfit post! I wanted to keep this post short and sweet to get back in the groove of things. I still have a ton of stuff to share with you and hope…

Today’s post is a little jaunt through this year’s trip to Zoolights at the Oregon Zoo. Last year, I took you with us on our first Zoolights experience and showed you what I wore also. I…

Hey y’all!! I hope all of you are enjoying final preparations for your holidays, work breaks, and time with your family and friends. I will have a more Christmasy post coming at ya on…

My teeth have been a source of insecurity for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, my canines grew in a little crooked and stayed up in my gums. I wore braces from 8th grade until…

Today I’m bringing you a gift guide filled with items I use and enjoy! There’s a little bit of everything - from practical to frivolous - so I hope you find something awesome to gift a loved…
