When I was little, I wanted to be a radio dj the worst way- I used this cassette recorder to sample my favorite radio songs & mix and match vibes like I was running a show. 😂 I also called in to stations all the time requesting tunes (um am I aging myself here? ...maybe? definitely. but um yeah that was a major slumber party move & I’m owning it.)…

Supporting #smallbiz in #Denver is important now more than ever which is why I’m always trying to feature them for you! Here are my go-tos:
As mentioned on my stories this week on on the ‘gram, @olivihuh & I are launching our bb project @kombuchatpod soon! 🎙We’re so excited!!
Read MoreSo many of you have reached out this past year about being at a crossroads.
Maybe you lost your job, maybe it disappeared overnight like so many of us in the event world, or maybe you started working from home & realizing - this gig isn’t for me. Whatever it might be, there is no greater time than now to reinvent yourself. Seriously! You have more tools at your fingertips than any human in history…
Read MoreSunday Routine: Slow morning (this is key), take my time making breakfast, work on a few of my own project goals (nothing busy or task-driven, more like big picture), yoga in the afternoon, breathwork whenever I want to reset, some good self-care stuff (face mask, body scrub, etc.)…
Read MoreI’ve had so many of you reach out about how to find a side hustle so that you can start a #smallbusiness or #freelance your skillset and eventually quit your day job and set your own rules, both of which I started doing a couple of years ago and now make a full time income from! But how do you get started? How do you figure out what you might like to do? Here are 3 tips to start discovering direction:
Read MoreThe holidays look different for some of us this year, and I know that many will be spending it alone or with family via Zoom. If you need a fun some fun ideas to spice it up, leggo:
Read MoreWhen I first started posting on the ‘gram, it was to document all of the cool concerts & festivals I was a part of while I was working in the music industry & moonlighting in music photography. I’m not even sure on my record for shows in a year... but it was a lot back then & I kept riding that wave into the next one, which ended up being...
This year looks so different than what I thought it would. It was supposed to go like this:
I was supposed to be traveling 1-2 weeks of every month, mostly internationally
I was supposed to have a calendar full of new restaurant & bar openings, concerts, & other #MileHigh happenings
I was supposed to attend a big graduation, be the maid of honor in a wedding, & spend every holiday with family…
Do you remember those exercises in elementary school where you’d have a whole word bank of adjectives & you’d have to choose 5 and make them into a sentence? Like, “The sheep is fast and pretty and brave and sensitive and angry?” And you would just wildly choose them at random because homework and let’s get it done, right?…
Read More“I somehow had equated being kind with saying yes.”
“I didn’t want to let people down.”
“I was afraid to fail or hurt someone’s feelings.”
“I didn’t want to miss out.”
Ever found yourself feeling the feels with one of the above? Ever found yourself overextended or exhausted, with no one to blame but yourself?
Denver's newest food hall, @junctionfoodanddrink, is officially open today! I attended their VIP Soft Opening last weekend, and loved this new Mile High spot! This chef-driven,12,200 square foot food hall features Junction’s very own bar, and an eclectic collection of 11 artisanal food stalls including…
Read MoreY’all know this girl loves an afternoon spritzer, so when @drinkaurabora sent their new flavors my way, I couldn’t wait to try them! They just launched in all @WholeFoods #Colorado locations AND they offer free shipping on their website…
Read MoreIf you’re rethinking life during COVID, you’re not alone. I think it’s making a lot of us reconsider, or forcing those of us who have to find a new role, to ask what the heck it is we really want to be doing with our lives, where we should live, and who we should be spending our time with…
Read MoreThis weekend, I took an adventure to a different set of Colorado peaks, this time featuring a tiny town called Como full of abandoned railroad buildings which leads to the spellbinding Boreas Pass. Boreas Pass Road ascends from Como, winds along the Continental Divide at over 11,400 feet, and descends into downtown Breckenridge. It’s one of Colorado’s top #leafpeeping destinations, an hour drive, and has some of the most gorgeous golden and red aspens you’ll find in the state. It’s been my #1 leaf-peeping destination so far!
Read MoreLast weekend, I visited the #SpanishPeaks of Colorado and per your request, here’s a guide of where to stay and things to do! Jet down before snow season to enjoy their peak fall weather and the color change of the leaves. 🍃🍂 BTW: Looking for the top 11 places to see Colorado’s leaves change? I wrote a guide on that for you too!
Read MoreOne of the most fun parts of our trip was treating ourselves to hot chocolate and churros at Chocolatería San Ginés. The chocolate is thick for dipping, not for sipping (learned this the hard way)! We had an amazing dinner at Café Comercial; make sure to have a reservation to enjoy this spot. Breakfast at Adorado Bar is a must and will fill you up for the whole day. We also had seafood paella at a casual lunch spot we happened upon. I wish I’d caught the name; it was delicious.
Read MoreOur first day was a full Antoni Gaudí experience! We visited Park Guell, did a self-tour of the semi-creepy but beautiful Sant Pau, entered the magnificent Sagrada Familia (worth every cent!), and did a walking tour to see Casa Batlló, Casa Amatller, Casa Lleo Morera, Casa Mila La Pedrera, and Casa Vicens (which is very close to the AirBnB I stayed at by the way). The next day we toured Museu Picasso…
Read MoreI’ve actually lived in Boulder, Colorado before, so it was a treat to be invited back by the historic Boulderado Hotel for a stay recently. You can read my full feature on that adventure here. Below I’ve also offered other options for things to do in the area in case you want to explore the city a little more than I did on my last stay…
