Did you know that in pregnancy around 28 weeks they test you for gestational diabetes? You drink some vile sugar concoction then you wait an hour and some nurses take your blood, it’s gross but if you throw up they just make you drink the poison water again so you might as well just keep it down. If you fail…

27 Weeks and Counting
7 weeks ago, we had our 20-week ultrasound, it’s supposed to be an exciting time the 20-week ultrasound it’s the longest appointment, it’s the big anatomy scan and at first it went great – but then the doctor called. My doctor called the day of our ultrasound, so I knew that something was wrong, I knew it in my bones,…
Cravings
No, not the cookbook by Chrissy Teigen, but I do not-so-secretly want to become her best friend and cook with her in her immaculate kitchen. I’m talking pregnancy cravings… the very real reason that I tried to convince my boyfriend to get me pulled pork and mashed potatoes at 11:30 on a Tuesday night (spoiler alert, I was unconvincing). Pregnancy…
Naming my dog was Easier
There is nothing on this planet that will make you realize exactly how many people you’ve held grudges against like trying to pick a name for your kid. Mackenzie? Nah, she was a little snot. Thomas? I dated a Tomas once, that’s a hard no. Also, Matt and James for the same reasons. One of my best friends dated an…
Coming Spring 2021
Pregnancy is hard. It’s not all, “Oh! You’re glowing.” and “Such a cute bump!” I’m 13-weeks pregnant and the bump just makes me look chubby, the glow is probably some Bio-Oil I accidentally rubbed on my face, and I haven’t had this much acne since I was 13. The acne really is the worst, I remember when I was a…
Virgin Hotels San Fransisco
If you follow me here (or anywhere), you’ll know that there are very few things in this life that I love more than travelling around this beautiful world (my dog, snarky pop culture commentary, and my boyfriend). As part of my travels, I’ve been fortunate enough to stay at some pretty amazing hotels around the world. But very few have…

You only get one totally and completely free service. It’s a tough life, isn’t it? If you’ve never visited The Ten Spot, it’s a…
Pura Vida
When I left for Greece in May, I promised myself that I would travel more, I spent too long focusing on work and not enough on seeing the world. In September I starting planning my next great adventure, Costa Rica 2016. We leave on January 1st, not a bad way to start the new year if you ask me. Pura…
The one Thing I Never Talk About
This blog is my space, I tell a lot of stories here, I talk about a lot of things. I’ve been open about my politics, my not-so-familial relationship with my bio-dad, and my relationships; those are the things I’m not afraid to talk to you about, those are the things I can be strong about. When I write about my…
From it’s Complicated to We’re Over
When the big ex and I broke up in 2009, I was just starting to transition from account executive to community manager; so while social media was relatively new to my professional life I was already deeply involved in the space on a personal level. That break-up was one of the worst I’ve ever been through. He cheated. I was…
