Homemade Orange Honey Body Wash

I told the Pilot that it’s time to prepare… my hippie is about to be unleashed in a serious way. Never before have I been in a land where all of these natural options are at my fingertips. I fondly remember the time in Tucson when I called a natural health store to see if…

DIY: Cutoff Shorts

It’s not quite full-blown summer here in Tucson, but with 90 degrees in this week’s forecast I figured I’d share one of my favorite staples for warmer weather – cutoffs. They are simple, and CHEAP. This tutorial is very easy and requires zero sewing. First, you need to find jeans to transform. The best place to…

Award for easiest adjustment to the move goes tooooooooo….. Caroline!  Quite a few of you have asked for an update on how she’s doing, so I figured it was about time for a little Caro update. (Our last Caroline update is here, and here’s the story about her adoption.) Over the past week, she has…

Last weekend in T-town

Our last one “living” in Tucson, for now 🙂 Friday, the Pilot took my brothers, Livi and me to fly the A-10 simulator. Livi loved it and I did two full rolls before crashing. Chicken salad, picnic-style on the patio. Photo on a tile that the movers broke :/ Tiny fishtail: Saying “see ya later”…

the vitamix tango +meals/fitness/who knows

Weekend, feel free to stick around a little longer. Not only have we been living up our last few seconds of time here in Tucson, but I’m ok waiting until the unpacking begins (even though let’s be real, it will be nice to get it over with). A funny story: Livi thinks our base hotel…

OOTD: shades of grey

I can confidently say I’ve worn sneakers every day this past week. The Skyscapes pretty much haven’t left my feet, and they’ve been the perfect “moving” shoe: super comfy, light and match pretty much everything. I like the fact that I can dress them down (wayyyy down in jean shorts and a too-old-but-I’m-never-letting-go-of-this-one U of…

Fancy sweatpants of the year award: the jumpsuit

Last year, my “fancy sweatpants” was the maxi skirt. This year: the jumpsuit. I’m one in, and already obsessed. (Tory Burch sandals/ long necklace from the madre) I ordered this fun printed jumpsuit on Shopbop a couple of months ago, and wasn’t quite sure I’d be able to pull it off. When it arrived, it…

Hi guys! How’s your day going so far? So glad to hear that so many of you are joining in the “Plank a Day” challenge! Abs in April, babyyyy.
