  • I went for a walk over

    October 15, 2018December 12, 2018

    I went for a walk over the weekend and picked up some shells. Storms tend to wash them all up, which meant Michael washed up a ton. So there I was, picking shells, and just

  • The Beach House

    October 8, 2018December 12, 2018

    Well, we did it. We bought a house. Excuse me while I take a long, deep, try not to stress, breath. It’s about a 12-minute drive to the beach, so it’s not technically a beach

    This one’s been stuck in my head for a few days now, however, it all came together in my head tonight when I went for a run. Yeah, I might’ve been choked up a bit

  • Au Natural for the Coconuts

    October 3, 2018December 12, 2018

    Since it’s Breast Cancer awareness month, I figured now is a great time to talk about natural deodorant. Not just because the stuff I’ve tested smells amazing, but I think it’s an easy yet crucial step

  • IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS

    IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS …clear, blue, with a side of gorgeous. Oh, fall at the beach. I adore you. Something I love about where we live is how you can’t really see the beach

  • Early Morning Power Hour

    September 30, 2018December 12, 2018

    One morning a week (I wish it could be more than that ) I cruise down to the beach for a sunrise run. It’s usually this 20-minute interval run, but then I realized I’m really in

  • Embrace The Squint

    September 27, 2018May 2, 2023

    Fun story: When I was a teenager, a woman sat me down and told me I needed to learn how to smile correctly. She said my eyes were too squishy looking and I needed to

  • This is my white sand camouflage

    September 26, 2018December 12, 2018

    This is my white sand camouflage suit. It had me at hello.  Thanks Gillia Clothing for the jumpsuit, and for making me feel oh so vintage-y chic and a little closer to Hawaii whenever I rock your gear.

    September 24, 2018December 12, 2018

    It’s officially Fall, and it’s a rainy Monday, which means it’s the perfect time for a moody Fall mood board. After living here for a year, I can say it’ my favorite season. Actually, it’s

  • HUJI Days

    September 23, 2018December 12, 2018

    Disposable cams. Love ‘em, yet haven’t used one for at least six years. HUJI Cam saves the day.  It’s an app that basically mimics the look and feel of a disposable camera. Which, in a time

  • Some Beauty Newness

    September 21, 2018December 12, 2018

    Just felt like showing off the new cut and color, all while rocking some beach waves and some natural makeup. Since all four of those combined tend to give a gal some extra pep in her

  • Happy Feet

    September 17, 2018December 12, 2018

    A side effect of indecisiveness is…happy feet. Why stick to one color when you can use the whole box, and why decide on one motif when you can just try out a few. Works for me. In

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart

    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
