Blog Archive: When I Lived in Austria

I’m working on deleting some old blogs because, well, who needs to hear about 19-year-old me’s drama and inner rantings?  I came across this little gem, which speaks volumes about my life when I lived in a gorgeous 13th Century Carthusian Monastery in the foothills of the Austrian Alps with some of my favorite people.  It still feels like a dream…   Alright, I’m finally awake, and able to write…

Spinach Salad

Few things make me happier than discovering a new bit of culinary genius.  On a recent trip to New York, I visited the Chelsea Market for the first time.  Note that I have been to New York more times than I can count (it’s only 3.5 hours away from DC, and I have several friends who live there), and I HAD NEVER BEEN TO THE CHELSEA MARKET.  #notOK.  Anywho, at the…

Winery Wednesday!

  These might look a bit familiar…  I love love love the Virginia wineries, and have been to several..  Allow me to share some of my recommendations on Wednesdays! So, I became a bit of a wine-o since I’ve moved here. Who knew that some Virginia wines rival those of the Napa/Sonoma region? Some even better, in fact. Virginia Viogniers (a light dry wine) have been busting on to the…

Blog Archive: The Best $5 Ever Spent

Is it me, or did Monday come way too fast?  I usually am a very intentional weekend relaxer, but I feel like I was constantly rushing this weekend..  What’s up with that!? Saturday some friends and I made the short trek up to Frederick, MD to go to Flying Dog Brewey, which is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while..  What I did not know is that $5 gets…

Why Basic?

I was chatting with a friend of a friend who kept saying, “that’s so basic.”  Feeling out of the loop, I inquired as to the meaning.  “You know,” she said.  “Basic girls wear leggings with Uggs and oversized sweaters..  They drink pumpkin spice lattes and carry Longchamp bags.”  Had I not been wearing a dress at the time, she would have described my outfit and lifestyle perfectly. I do what…
