Hi again, friends!
The Man and I have a lot of fun things on the horizon, and I thought I’d share some of them here with you since it’s been a hot minute.
A Photo Check-in
I’m back to share a little peek on what’s been going on lately. I’m just going to dive right in with photos and captions, for time’s sake.
Full disclosure: This recap consists mostly of food, outfits, and the adorable Harper-pup. Enjoy!
Spring Break in La Jolla
AKA: A Jolly Gorge-Fest
But first: I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted on The Real Life! I love my job, but work demands a lot of my energy. Blogging is a little too similar to my job sometimes, and as my goals and responsibilities grow at work I’ve felt like the last thing I want to do is more posting. Sorry, guys! I’ve also been prioritizing my mental health and listening to my inner guidance system. When blogging stopped being fun and turned into an obligation (and a way for me to impose perfectionism onto myself) I knew I needed to take a break.
Speaking of breaks… I’m so excited to share a recap of our lovely Spring Break vacation to La Jolla! The Man booked this trip for my 31st birthday, and it was worth the wait.
my portfolio + current endeavors
Hi again, friends! I’m been busy with a few new things a-brewin’.
I finally got around to creating a professional website, to serve as my content creation portfolio and also as a home for a side project I’ve been working on for a while.
Harper-Doggo Updates
Warning: This blog post is FULL of cuteness.
In the past two months, Harper’s personality has gotten even more fun. She has more gumption and sass than any dog I’ve ever known! (Most of the time it’s cute, but other times it’s not. We’re working on that.)
A Photo Attack From Christmas
I’m the worst and haven’t found the time or energy to post simple updates on this blog since we got back from Swarthmore. Forgive me!
Instead of writing a full-fledged recap, I’m just going to post all the photos along with 1-2 sentences about each one. Enjoy!
Outfits of the Week
Finally Sweater Weather
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! With high temperatures in the 60s and even 70s for the past couple weeks, snowfall and lows in the teens have been welcomed by this winter-lover… minus the slipping and falling on my booty in the ice. Whoops! And Harper loves [to eat] the snow!
Anyway, before we take part in our pre-Christmas sushi-delivery dinner tradition and then head to Philly for holiday festivities, here are some sweater-weather outfits from the week.
Also: An exciting $2,500 giveaway!
My 31st Birthday Weekend!
A Long Run + Lots of Goodies
Happy Tuesday, guys! It’s a busy week at work, gearing up for another holiday week out of the office, so I’m a little late in recapping my birthday weekend extravaganza.
Nonetheless, it was a great segue into the actual early 30s… how is that real?
Outfits of the Week + Birthday Eve
Happy Friday, everyone! I can’t believe that it’s already been one year since my 30th birthday celebration… and tomorrow I turn 31! The workwives and I are heading to Homegrown Tap & Dough for lunch today, and then tomorrow The Man and I have a long trail run and a fabulous birthday dinner planned. I’m a happy girl.
Here are this week’s outfits!
Running, Food & Holiday Cheer
This weekend was a great one, particularly in the food department! The weather in Denver has hit record highs for this time of year… highs have been in the 60s, which means both of my runs this weekend were in shorts and a tank top. What? It’s December!
We also tried to get Harper in the Christmas spirit. Cute photos ahead!
