As a person with constant anxiety, I don't feel TOO different then normal, but I've been doing a semi-good job of not allowing myself to get too wrapped up in the whole awfulness of politics and Covid 19 and everything. I did get way too upset about a dumb social media interaction this week and the fact that our mailman is refusing to deliver our packages and lying about it, but ya' know...I'm doing okay.<br />
<br />
One of the things I'm trying to do right now is focus on positive things more...not rocket science, but it helps. First, since I'm now unemployed (again), I take time in the morning after I wake up to sit in bed with my dogs and read while I drink my coffee. I open up the blinds so I can see our new bird feeder and the sun and it's been really great for my mental health rather than spending the morning reading Reddit and feeding my anxiety. Some great books I've read lately are:<br />

Mike and I have been going on daily walks which really helps and I feel so so lucky that our weather has been so gorgeous. If it was snowing this whole time, Mike would have lost it a month ago. Since we do nothing but hang out with each other, we kiiinda ran out of things to talk about, so we listen to the <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-fake-doctors-real-friends-60367049/" target="_blank">Fake Doctors Real Friends</a> podcast and it makes us laugh out loud and distracts us from all the nonsense.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

Another positive distraction I'm newly obsessed with is photographer Jamie Beck's Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jamiebeck.co/">jamiebeck.co</a>). She's been posting a new photograph every day and they are absolutely gorgeous and she shows in her stories exactly how she got the shot. It's inspiring and brings a little beauty into every day. You can also buy posters of her art <a href="https://jamiebeck.co/" target="_blank">here</a>. These are a few of my favorites:</div>

Another little bit of joy in my days is our new bird feeder and wild animal food for our local squirrels. This has become such a cliche in the time of isolation, but I'm okay with it! We got two bird feeders at Home Depot and special food for the squirrels because they kept eating the bird food. It's super entertaining and I've of course named the squirrels (Ralph and Minny). Ralph is getting a little too brave and now comes onto the patio and gets realllly close to me when I feed him so we may need to talk about boundaries, but it makes my day when the animals come by.</div>

Last, but not least, something that brings us a lot of joy is that we set up a little game area in the common grass part of our apartment. We put out our white trash tennis set (the ladder game whose name we can't remember) and cornhole. We go out and play sometimes and we've seen other people using it. Every time someone else uses it, we get SO excited. It's nice to give people who can't leave the property something fun to do!</div>

I am in a foul mood today so I decided to do something that is distracting and makes me happy. Hence, a new pinspiration post!<br />
<br />
Emma Watson wore this super cute outfit to Wimbledon in 2018 and it spawned a series of photos of her taking her seat in front of Tom Holland and his dad who are 100% trying to look like they aren't freaking the deak out, which makes me love it even more:<br />

I went a little more casual with my recreation, mostly because I cannot stand white heels, but also because this look felt perfect for a little more casual of a day. I would wear it as a tourist somewhere warm or for a day walking (and drinking) around San Diego. Oh man, I can't wait until we can leave this house...

I went faux leather on all the accessories, but there are TONS of options for both pieces if you're not set on shopping vegan. You could even go full Meghan Markle and get <a href="https://www.sarahflint.com/products/grear-saddle-vachetta?wickedsource=google&wickedid=361882839107&wtm_term=&wtm_campaign=2058654705&wtm_content=81475195172&wickedplacement=&wickedkeyword=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEqjBCtzf8KV46-T3BvpKND2VxUIMjbu_fQLWOAR5PcAtBvqqU2sZlQaAvNOEALw_wcB&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEqjBCtzf8KV46-T3BvpKND2VxUIMjbu_fQLWOAR5PcAtBvqqU2sZlQaAvNOEALw_wcB" target="_blank">these </a>sandals that are dreamy, but super pricey. I also would love to wear some colorful shoes with this look to add a little personality, but the book clutch does a pretty great job of that.<br />
<br />
Would you guys wear this? If so, where?<br />

Mike had never been to Hawaii and I had only been to Kona with my sister for her bachelorette party. I was excited to introduce him to the delicious food and views. I was a little nervous about him getting bored, but we planned plenty of activities to go with the lazy beach relaxing. We had a great time even though it's not 100% our type of vacation...a little too much driving and not enough power walking to cheese plates, if you ask me. Mike said it's something he could see himself doing about every five years to relax and eat our body weight in fish.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos!<br />
<br />
First, we landed, went grocery shopping, and got settled in our Airbnb. We stayed <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/plus/29608523?source_impression_id=p3_1585412826_y6Rp1HxxRTYO6H1c" target="_blank">here</a>, which I highly recommend (aside from the god awful pillows). For dinner that night, we ate <a href="https://www.coconutsfishcafe.com/" target="_blank">here </a>and it was fine, but not anything THAT exciting. I dunno, if you put cheese on your fish tacos, I'm not buying it. BUT the service was really good and they were very accommodating with my sister's dairy free and her husband's gluten free diets.<br />
<br />
The next day, we started early with snorkeling with <a href="https://www.pacificwhale.org/" target="_blank">The Pacific Whale Foundation</a>. I'm so glad we chose them to snorkel with because they are a nonprofit who are awesome and also educate about conservation. Mike had never been snorkeling, but I knew he would love it and he took to it...like a fish to water...sorry not sorry. It was really fun and we got to see a turtle! They told us to alert each other if you saw a turtle and I was lucky enough to see it and screamed TURTLE to everyone like an insane person. You're welcome, everyone else in the water.<br />

I 100% don't remember what we did the rest of that day, but I think Mike, Brian, and I went walking around an indoor/outdoor market, had some shaved ice, and had cocktails <a href="https://southshoretiki.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

To end the night, we drove to a beautiful cove not far from our Airbnb to watch the sunset and Mike and I had dinner <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Aloha-Maui-Food-Trucks-267263953909356/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARBc1N70QjhaxDlwW2gWgLkyS2wdqk7v7j-z94caNeLN4ZIepjDgfAZWwFJyeydRzNHs1la9sW_fEC-0&hc_ref=ARRsF12de5RqjdERMUYzQXMkBVtSRqN0cMpKG3KONDzYlAZ7oPBxhJ25JvtRXkZ2exw&fref=tag&__xts__[0]=68.ARArrRjQH4IpEDqzEjSl5qkckxqtOsyF7Z2oVHy76XzAd23a7Kh2I_Rq1kowpwQAwTYsAPEL-azgg9_797YdZeSJoGoRiEN0_yrOwXEkZfd3Ql6MV0jquOnN3azUeGeNE4sBkXEfQKXKTCB4oVQujnRyCzw6ZmG9sjuKfC3QW6bXGr-lovOChlQ-8NSEP5ydwNQvCtb0FAw6Cni77wacuiaQ1qyUAA9QEU6MI1Yw-LfZpRD49KlRlI7YyR3g&rf=199594414104386" target="_blank">here </a>which was amazeballs. We ordered from several food trucks, trying ahi sliders, fish tacos, and more. You sit outside surrounded by tables, food trucks, and twinkly lights, and try not to be scared of the wandering chickens because they are cute, but also...are they going to peck my toes?!</div>

That night, we went to dinner <a href="https://www.lineagemaui.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, which I was SO excited about. Mike and I fell in love with the chef/owner Sheldon on Top Chef and couldn't wait to try his food. It for sure did not disappoint.<br />

We had some snacks and cocktails <a href="https://www.millhousemaui.com/" target="_blank">here </a>where Laura and Brian had had dinner earlier in the week and went <a href="https://waldorfastoria3.hilton.com/en/hotels/hawaii/grand-wailea-a-waldorf-astoria-resort-JHMGWWA/amenities/restaurants-bistro-molokini.html" target="_blank">here </a>for some drinks and lunch?

After dropping off Laura and Brian at the airport, Mike and I had time to kill so we did something that we should have spent a whole previous day doing - resort hopping. We had drinks and dinner at a few of the resorts and walked the gorgeous beachside sidewalk to each one. It was such a perfect ending to our trip.</div>

One of those days we also had a beach day and I forget which one? This is a great blog. Oh but at the beach, I ventured out into the ocean because Laura convinced me and then,while alone, saw another turtle and lost my shit and ran/swam back to the beach because I thought I was going to hurt it or it was going to bite me? Either way, it was graceful AF.</div>

Stupid stupid snow. BUT it can be really beautiful sometimes. A couple of days ago it snowed here and, since we are officially fidgety from being cooped up inside, Mike and I ventured out for a walk in it. It was so peaceful, quiet, still, and just beautiful. It felt like we were in another world. Here are some photos Mike took that day.<br />

I loved this one because it was so simple, classic, and really seemed effortless. You could wear it to school or work or really anything not too fancy. And it's made up of all classic pieces that you will wear again and again. Here is my shopable recreation:</div>

Which Dakota look is your favorite?Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06766737888075065154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296364817804128541.post-49218317569864943062019-08-15T14:56:00.003-06:002019-08-15T14:56:58.208-06:00Owls!I've loved owls for as long as I can remember. Maybe I have a sort of kinship with them because I too have giant eyeballs and a tiny mouth. And always look cranky. In college, some of the boys would sing the tootsie pop commercial song because I look like the owl in it apparently? You know, instead of just being nice and asking me out on a date.<br />
<br />
Anyyyyways.<br />
<br />
A couple months ago, Mike and I saw some people walking the green space near our house looking up excitedly at the overpass above us and we realized there were three owls up there, so Mike came back with his camera. Here are the pictures I finally uploaded and edited!<br />
<br />
Owls!<br />

After typing that and channeling the author of the book I'm currently devouring right now (<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29340182-shrill" target="_blank">Shrill</a>) I decided, yes you can pull this off. You just need to be confidant and really not give a fuck, no matter what size you are.<br />
<br />
So yeah, here's today's Pinspiration!<br />

One of the things I love about this look is, even though it's a little odd and trendy, it's still composed of classic pieces that you can wear over and over. Black booties are a closet staple, that silk skirt can be dressed up or down in so many ways, and the sweatshirt can be worn with jeans any time. So even if you pay a little more for some of the pieces, like the booties I used were about $100, you're going to use them a ton.<br />
<br />
I went a little different on the sweatshirt because I thought a vintage NASA sweatshirt was just too perfect for this eclectic look. I also went for a smaller purse that can be worn as a belt bag because it's vegan and cute.<br />
<br />

So back in February, I was (happily) unemployed, we had resigned ourselves to the fact that we weren't having kids, and we were sick as hell of the snow. So, in very un-Valerie fashion, we impulse bought tickets to Paris for April.<br />

Paris was somewhere I, like most people on the planet who aren't from there, have always wanted to visit, so I was super excited to go.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stayed at <a href="https://www.villa-beaumarchais.com/" target="_blank">this </a>hotel because it wasn't super expensive or fancy and it was in our preferred neighborhood. I would recommend it because we don't really give a crap about hotels except if they are clean and safe. This one was really quiet and the people were nice and it was within walking distance to a ton of things. Here is the cute view from our room:</div>

The first day, we landed in Paris, got super lost in the damn airport, picked up our travel wifi rental (such a handy thing to do when in foreign countries), walked in like fifteen circles trying to find where ubers can pick you up, gave up and took a taxi, and got to our hotel. After showering and rallying, we headed out for our half day in Paris.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, I'm gonna be real here. I'm really glad we did this trip and I overall had a great time, but Paris is not what I had envisioned. As an American, you are surrounded with images and platitudes about how romantic and dreamy Paris is. You see photos of flower covered cafes and baguettes, and the Eiffel tower. Which, for sure, are there, but also it's a mother effing city. It's filled with graffiti and traffic and vagrants and crime and garbage and it's A LOT. I may be a total idiot, but this didn't dawn on me until we set out that first day and I was like ohhhhh yeah this isn't the most comfortable place I've ever been. So that first day, I was a little overwhelmed, nervous about the language barrier, and pretty jet lagged. I didn't take a ton of photos, but we did walk around quite a bit, saw some sights, and had a great dinner.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, we got some much needed caffeine at <a href="https://www.brunchinparis.com/" target="_blank">Neighbors</a>, a super cute place near our hotel, then headed off to the <a href="http://www.sacre-coeur-montmartre.com/" target="_blank">Basilica of the Sacre Cur</a>. I had read warnings about scams people will run to get you distracted so they can pickpocket you near this area and really about pick pocketing all over Paris. This was the only time we had to deal with it at all. This group of people were accosting tourists trying to give them bracelets and being really charming, trying to stop you to distract you. We told them no and kept walking, but one even grabbed onto Mike at one point to stop him. It was the only time I felt really nervous, but we just kept walking and telling them to leave us alone and that is why we have crossbody bags, amen. Here are some photos Mike took at the Basilica and the walk from there to dinner, such a gorgeous view!</div>

We ended the night with dinner at <a href="https://ilovebuvette.com/" target="_blank">Buvette</a> for a super delicious meal and great service. Honestly, this meal helped calm my nerves; food can do that, can't it? I also felt pretty great about our ordering, even though we did have to google some things. We went flexitarian on our trip because we wanted to experience everything in Paris, so at Buvette we had the traditional carrot salad, some tartines, dessert, wine, blood sausage, asparagus, and I can't even remember what else. It was delicious.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next day, we started with breakfast and hot chocolate at <a href="https://www.angelina-paris.fr/en/" target="_blank">Angelina</a>. We had heard about this place on the Paris episode of Somebody Feed Phil. Do you guys watch this show? You should. He's so charming and happy and it's great food porn. Moving on. Angelina is known for it's hot chocolate and that definitely did not disappoint. The omelet was garbage though, not gonna lie. Oof.</div>

While wandering around and, let's be honest, getting lost as hell, we happened upon a restaurant named Le Basilic for lunch. We didn't take any pictures there, but look at how dreamy this bitch is:</div>

Mike had snails which he loved and I chose not to try because hashtag texture. I had a seafood tartine that was one of the best things I ate that trip and we both enjoyed glasses of sancerre. We had so much sancerre this trip and oh man was it a great idea.</div>

We had a light lunch that day because we had cheese tasting planned later in the day. Cheese tasting was Mike's (obviously genius) idea because, HAVE YOU MET ME?!

Then, (seriously I cannot believe we did all this day two), we were off to Notre Dame. Of all the things we did this trip, I am eternally grateful that we got to see Notre Dame before the fire. Not only was it breathtaking to look at, but we were lucky enough to visit while they were having mass. It was quiet and serious in there filled with whispers, smoke from the candles, and prayers. We stood to the side and listened to the priest, and I felt myself well up a little bit because I knew this was a special moment that I would never forget.</div>

Day three we started with coffee at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fragmentsparis/" target="_blank">Fragments </a>and then headed off for some dreamy carbs at <a href="http://dupainetdesidees.com/" target="_blank">Du Pain et des Idees</a>. David Lebovitz said this place had the best croissants in Paris and we don't know from much, but they were GOOD.</div>

Then we went to <a href="https://haussmann.galerieslafayette.com/" target="_blank">Lafayette Gourmet</a> which is basically a fancy mall that Mike wanted to walk around. Truth time: I did not enjoy this. My feet HURT by this point. We had made the smartish decision to wear shoes that we knew would not give us blisters, but we sorely underestimated how many miles we were going to walk each day and the bones of my feet hurt so badly by day three, I was not in a great mood. Also, I hate shopping. So I was a little bit of a fusspug during this part of the day...but Mike had fun, we bought some mustard and chocolate (not to be eaten together) and Mike took this pretty photo of spices:</div>

Then we stopped at another place recommended by Anthony Bourdain, <a href="http://www.harrysbar.fr/" target="_blank">Harry's Bar</a>. It's basically a New York bar plopped in the middle of Paris and it's got delicious cocktails. It was the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail (or two) and rest our aching feet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a rest at the bar, we headed off to check something off our Paris bucket list - a jambon in a gorgeous park. Honestly, this is one of the reasons we allowed ourselves meat...I'm not going to Paris and skipping a jambon! We got ours at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lepetitvendome/" target="_blank">Le Petit Vendome</a>, a teeny tiny, bustling place known for its jambon and it did not disappoint. We took our sandwich to a park and felt very Parisian and happy.</div>

Then we headed off to walk some more (shocker!) and stopped at <a href="https://www.pierreherme.com/" target="_blank">Pierre Herme</a> to get some fancy treats for Mike and then to lunch at <a href="http://xn--l%27avant%20comptoir%20st%20germain%20des%20prs-7de/" target="_blank">L'avant Comptoir</a>. This was somewhere we were super excited to try, because this chef is crushing it right now in Paris and his food is supposed to be amazing. L'avant Comptoir is his more casual place, where he is doing counter service, but with fancy food. The menu is photos hanging from the ceiling and everyone shares a giant mountain of butter. It was weird and great.</div>

Then we stopped for more treats at Maison Eric Kayser (seriously, how are we not obese?) and headed to the <a href="https://www.tourmontparnasse56.com/en/" target="_blank">Montpamasse Tower </a>for the view. Okay, we were pretty tired at this point and nothing was in English and we couldn't figure out how the hell to get to the observation deck, so we went to the restaurant at the top and paid for expensive and shitty cocktails, but the view was great and we got to rest our feet, so...</div>

We also went to the <a href="https://pss75.fr/saint-sulpice-paris/" target="_blank">Church of Saint-Sulpice</a> that day, but I don't have any pictures of it for some reason. It's beautiful inside though if you feel like googling and there was a drawing class there spread throughout the church working on various pieces, which was cool to see.</div>

Then, we stopped at <a href="http://www.compagnienyc.com/" target="_blank">Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels</a> for some natural wine and (of course) a cheese plate. We saw this American couple meeting up for drinks after the husband got off work and I was so intrigued with their situation and what does the wife do all day, she's so lucky, but also they must be so overwhelmed and do they speak French? So many questions...</div>

We finished the night by grabbing dinner at <a href="http://l-as-du-fallafel.zenchef.com/" target="_blank">L'as du Fallafel</a>. This is one of the most recommended restaurants in Paris and it's a walk up window serving fallafel. Click on the marais hashtag in instagram and half the photos are like ours:</div>

It's a cool spot that feels very local, where you sidle up to the counter and the bartender makes everything, from your sandwich to your espresso. We hung out there for a long time, resting our feet, drinking our beers, and checking out the regulars. </div>

Day five was the day we were headed home, but of course we found some time to eat! We had crepes at <a href="http://xn--breizh%20caf-meb/" target="_blank">Breizh Cafe</a> which is actually the place we were supposed to have dinner the night before. They were SO GOOD. We ordered really well, both savory and sweet, and we got to share our wifi with some clueless American sisters who spent the whole time afterwards frantically checking their social media, bless 'em.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, we saw a pug!</div>

We stopped to quickly buy some chocolate gifts for the moms and then headed to the airport. Even with delays, we made it home and ended up being the last flight allowed in due to the snow. The train ride and drive home sucked, but we were so happy to see our pups and unload our smuggled in French cheeses. I was nervous about the cheese, but the immigration dudes at the airport were way more concerned with the buckwheat flower Mike bought. They thought that was really weird and asked if we got it from Russia? Nope, but it sure has made some tasty crepes since we've been home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, I'm so glad we visited Paris, even if it's a never repeated trip for us. The food was amazing, the people were mostly nice, and we saw so many beautiful things. I would just suggest you wear ugly shoes that protect your foot bones, even though wine and cheese does help.</div>

Since I stopped blogging, the site that I used to make them closed and so I had to archive all the posts since the links broke. But I want to start doing it again! Pinspirations are me taking super cute outfits I find on Pinterest and recreating them with actually purchasable items.<br />
<br />
I started out with a tough one, but an outfit I would 100% like to wear in real life. You know, if I actually worked in an office and didn't wear workout clothes all day...<br />

This year, I made mine 40 and I'm crushing it so far (if I do say so myself). I've been so enjoying some of the books I've read recently so I wanted to share them here. Book nerds, unite!!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are a few of my top favorites:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34467031-manhattan-beach" target="_blank">Manhattan Beach</a> was really beautifully written and made me sad to leave the story. Definitely not an upper, but it's a great story and the characters feel real.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42966319-next-level-basic" target="_blank">Next Level Basic</a> - you can give me shit for loving this one all you want, but it was actually really fun and surprisingly really empowering. Like whatever you like and don't apologize for it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40097951-the-silent-patient" target="_blank">The Silent Patient</a> - finally a book with a believable twist! The ultimate quick read whose ending you probably won't guess, I sure didn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40539126-code-name" target="_blank">Code Name Lise</a> - it took me a bit to get into this one, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. This woman was so inspirational. I love that the author wrote her truthfully; she was flawed, but insanely brave and kick ass. And also, next time I complain about something, remind me that I've never had all my toenails pried off without SAYING A PEEP.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40597810-daisy-jones-the-six" target="_blank">Daisy Jones & The Six</a> - this book was so well written and the characters so believeable, that I kept wanting to google the band like it wasn't a piece of fiction. I immediately checked out a book by the same author because I loved this one so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32620332-the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo" target="_blank">The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo</a> - same author as the book above and just as good a book. Oh man, I love how she writes people. You want to hug them, slap them, and be them all at once. And borrow their wardrobes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37570546-maybe-you-should-talk-to-someone" target="_blank">Maybe You Should Talk to Someone</a> - this book made me cry a couple times and ultimately made me want to try even harder in therapy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34466922-sleeping-beauties" target="_blank">Sleeping Beauties</a> - I have obnoxiously sung the praises of this book to everyone in my family and I don't care! It's so good! Go read it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I forgot it was in my back pocket, pulled down those skinny jeans, and heard a thud. Took me way too long of a beat to realize that thud was my damn phone. Cue me crouching, with my pants down, on the floor of the bathroom to frantically dry off my phone.<br />
<br />
Samsung was not kidding about their phones being waterproof though, cause she's fine.<br />
<br />
WHEW.<br />
<br />
<br />
(Also, it was clean water, in case you needed to know that.)<br />

<br />
Packing for this trip was harder than others because I felt some extra pressure to not look like a gross American tourist because, well, it's PARIS! Also, I'm always a bad packer in this weather because it's not hot, not cold, it's all about layering and is unpredictable. I struggle with that. All in all, I think I did pretty well, although I didn't stick with all my planned outfits. I had the intentions to wear my Rothy's sneakers most of the trip, but my feet got pretty swollen with all the walking we did and they weren't comfortable with puffy feet. I will say, I'm glad we didn't wear ugly tourist shoes, but we could have worn a little more comfortable shoes for sure. I didn't get any blisters, which is honestly the goal, but my feet HURT. So bad. Like I teared up at one point. Doing 30k steps a few days in a row will do that to you.<br />
<br />
For my travel outfit out there, I wanted to be comfortable since we were taking a red eye and I was hoping to sleep, but I didn't want to look like I was in my pajamas when we landed in Paris. I also wanted to layer so I could stay warm on the plane.<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of these aren't the exact pieces I wore, but it's pretty dang
close. The American Giant joggers are super comfy and my Rothy's were easy to
slip on and off in security and on the plane. My actual Harry Potter sweater is

Again, not my exact pieces since pretty much everything I own is too old to still be online. I've got to give a ton of credit to my trusty Chucks, because they took a beating this trip! I wore the same no show socks I linked to in the first look and I cannot recommend them enough. They literally don't slip ever, even after more than 30,000 steps.<br />
<br />
Day two, we were going to do a cheese tasting and had breakfast reservations so I wanted to be cute with room for food, here's what I wore:<br />

Not gonna lie, I was pretty cold in the morning in this outfit, but thankfully it warmed up.<br />

A couple things about this outfit: first, I wear those American Giant leggings looser than she does, so they are more like pants, not workout leggings. Second, that is obviously not the sweater I wore because that one is PRICEY. Mine was an old Forever21 piece that is no longer online. But we all would like to afford the one I used, right?!<br />
<br />
By day 4 we were a litttle over it because we overdid it so much the first three days, but we still went out and walked and ate and saw. Here is what I wore:<br />

This one was pretty impossible to correctly recreate. The sweater is not bat wing in real life and is by designer Jeffery Parish who I cannot find a web presence for anymore and the top is an old J.Crew color blocked light sweater with pink sleeves, a pink bottom, and maroon details.<br />
<br />
Towards the end of the day, we stopped back at our hotel to pee, change, and let me cry about my feet for a second and I changed into this:<br />

And now we're home and I've only worn pajamas, leggings, and workout clothes, yay!<br />
<br />
A couple things I learned: 1) not wearing athletic sneakers is admirable, but get more supportive cute shoes if you're going to walk that much, 2) all the people saying not to wear a ton of color because Parisians don't do that are full of crap, 3) this jean jacket was worth every penny, 4) bring those high waist jeans you hesitated to bring because you are going to feel so fat by day two, you'll want something to suck you in, 5) you're never going to be the weirdest looking person walking around so wear whatever the hell you want, and 6) don't wear a beret, just don't.Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06766737888075065154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296364817804128541.post-91085504691315760492019-04-05T11:00:00.003-06:002019-04-05T11:00:19.466-06:00Things I've Liked LatelyI'm unemployed right now and home pretty much all day so I have a lot of time to be on the internet or watch tv or read books and here are some of those things that I have enjoyed lately you're welcome, I can't stop this run on sentence, someone save me.<br />

I am a huge fan of Ricky Gervais and I find his snarky humor funny so I may be a little biased, but this show was really special. It's funny and real and heartfelt and I kind of already want to watch it again. It's definitely sad, but also makes you laugh and makes you want to go be nice to a random stranger and also to hug your dog(s).<br />

I just binge watched this show in two days and was honestly pretty devastated to learn it only had six episodes. It's so funny, but also, I'm not sure I've ever had a show make me feel like I got punched right in the heart before. It's pretty fucking hard to be a woman right now. We are surrounded by things that make us feel bad about ourselves and our administration makes us feel like what we say doesn't matter, what we want to do with our bodies doesn't matter, what men have done to us doesn't matter, and that we just aren't ever enough. This show portrays all of that so perfectly and vulnerably and it makes you just want to say fuck it and go dance and be your own freakin' cheerleader for once.<br />

Mike and I finally watched Annihilation and really enjoyed it even though that bear scene is mothereffing terrifying. The books are a lot different, but not in a way that makes you hate the movie. They are way more deep and detailed and just dang weird. I enjoyed reading them, even though at points they can get a little bogged down and overly psychoanalytical. The twists in the final book are worth it all.<br />

I don't really like horror, not when it comes to movies or books, so I never was interested in reading anything by Stephen King. I read a few here and there, but it wasn't until recently that I've realized just how great a writer he is. I somehow got hooked on The Dark Tower series and after I was done, tried to find some other works that weren't so "horrory" like Carrie or Pet Semetary. The three above are freaking phenomenal. I can't talk about Sleeping Beauties enough. It's seriously gorgeously written. It's poignant and sad and hopeful and ugh. So good. The Long Walk is painful to read, but really great and Elevation is so different for him, it's really pretty and special. The Dark Tower series, it should be noted, is also really great if you have time to read multiple books that are over 700 pages long. And don't watch the movie.<br />

Artists on Instagram sharing awesome and adorable cartoons. Two of my current faves are above. Social media can sometimes be really negative or make you feel comparative and bad about yourself, but it can also give you levity, humor, and little pieces of art that make you feel happy or silly or empowered like these. That's why I stick around. And so I can post photos of my dogs.<br />

Okay I'm not just loving this podcast "lately", like for years, but I haven't talked about it here, so there you go. It's so good, especially for people like me who have always loved true crime. They are also funny and relatable and super open about their anxieties and therapy and just life shit. I love them.<br />

But I wanted to share my husband's gorgeous tattoos and yeah, intro over?<br />
<br />
Mike is not the type to make spur of the moment decisions. I can't remember what got him interested in getting tattoos, but he literally thought it over for years. In pure Mike fashion, he planned, researched, hemmed, hawed and then, years later, pulled the trigger. He knew he wanted to start getting tattoos, but wasn't sure what to actually get. He loves so many things: Disney, our dogs, soccer, the outdoors, travel, food, drinks, cars, etc. So after thinking about it for ages, he decided to get a sleeve of fruits and veggies.<br />
<br />
Food has become really important to Mike in the last couple of years. It all started with my mom buying him a nice knife when we still lived in Ridgecrest. He started helping me chop when I would cook. Then, he eventually just scooted my ass completely out of the kitchen and became obsessed with cooking and baking. It's a very handy and delicious thing to have your husband obsessed with, trust me. Because he is a natural born researcher and reader and because he tends to be OCD, when he becomes obsessed with something, he also becomes amazing at it. He spends his days scouring blogs, reading cookbooks, and learning all he can about culinary. My coworkers would fawn over a pie he'd make them and tell me how lucky I am that he's such a great baker. He is, but also they didn't understand that he didn't just make that pie. He read at least 20 different recipes, studied techniques, and combined them all with his knowledge to make that pie. It's a lot of work.<br />
<br />
So food seemed appropriate for his tattoo sleeve and he went with fruits and veggies because they are beautiful to look at and because they are something he enjoys cooking. He settled on the water color look and found a great artist named Skyler at <a href="https://certifiedtattoo.com/skyler">Certified Tattoo Studio</a>.<br />
<br />
He started with beets:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTGNPhWxrI9dZh4W2gqs4kJPtB4JNOTTNuQ0VeUM1T0Cdxbp4UnkFNS0dNQFAAAwLnFTsVOc83znqD4zu_-B71DH-T_mwAkyy2laIaoSJOwAL_-6xKwY8gWWEUP_UueN9CCV4RxtCjC5u/s1600/20900950_824710058665_2391959514385231155_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTGNPhWxrI9dZh4W2gqs4kJPtB4JNOTTNuQ0VeUM1T0Cdxbp4UnkFNS0dNQFAAAwLnFTsVOc83znqD4zu_-B71DH-T_mwAkyy2laIaoSJOwAL_-6xKwY8gWWEUP_UueN9CCV4RxtCjC5u/s640/20900950_824710058665_2391959514385231155_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then he got asked about a million times, "Why beets?" Mike chose beets because he LOVES them, but also because it's funny that he loves them now. Before we became super into food, Mike would always tease my sister about how much she likes beets. She always ate really healthy, so he would tease her about her food habits and that beets tasted like dirt. Then, once he started getting more into food and eating well, he realized he freakin' loves beets. For a while there, he literally ate beets with every meal. You can buy these little packs of cooked, marinated beets and he would have one as a side with every dinner. Yes, his poop is often pink.<br />
<br />
The beet tattoo is still my favorite. Skyler does a drawing that you approve, but then so much of that tattoo is done freehand. My favorite is the little loops around the stem and on the bottom.<br />
<br />
Next, he got a pepper:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Mike chose a pepper because of how much he loves spicy food. He used to not like spice at all, not even jalapenos and then one day, he just had an affinity for it. Now he likes things the spicier the better, even to the detriment of his poor stomach.<br />
<br />
The pepper tattoo, I think, is a little too large, but the details are so pretty. The orange is really vibrant in person and I think the stem is the coolest part. He also freehand added the geometric border, which is a cool touch.<br />
<br />
Next, he got an avocado:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPv7H1f2ce_SK0zFuqvx7BQUOLYHBIK_12HbUZlBoDsDMU_nAdntUsQ9yyF8EQVcyMvXnCfr8B_WuoZbwa8RGXGC-XPcZzK7J55UK_1AXl7bbP4vn2fwnk12mqFPl7x3zHErG-6wZEyIpx/s1600/IMG_5270.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPv7H1f2ce_SK0zFuqvx7BQUOLYHBIK_12HbUZlBoDsDMU_nAdntUsQ9yyF8EQVcyMvXnCfr8B_WuoZbwa8RGXGC-XPcZzK7J55UK_1AXl7bbP4vn2fwnk12mqFPl7x3zHErG-6wZEyIpx/s640/IMG_5270.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
The reason for the avocado is simple: if it's "Californian" it has an avocado on it.<br />
<br />
The details on the avocado are some of our faves: that crosshatching on the peel, the cute little leaf, and the circles around the pit.<br />
<br />
Last (for now), he got a lemon:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The lemon is for me! I love lemons and even eat them like oranges (which is horrible for your teeth, don't do that). The lemon is super cute and small and I love the loops coming off the bottom.<br />
<br />
This tattoo also has a hidden mickey for Mike's love of Disney. Can you find it?<br />
<br />
Overall, I think his tattoos are unique and gorgeous. Skyler has been great to work with and really understands what Mike wants. Mike is a great customer because he doesn't care that Skyler is going to add things without saying, which would honestly make me insane. Hence, my lack of commitment to tattoos...<br />
<br />
Mike has a couple more things planned for the top of his arm and maybe some filler and then he's done! His next appointment is in July and I can't wait for this one.Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06766737888075065154noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296364817804128541.post-41865453819136425172019-03-30T09:16:00.003-06:002019-03-30T09:16:21.576-06:00Good EatsMike and I have been eating mostly vegetarian for about two years now, so the recipes I share on here are going to look a little different. I say mostly vegetarian because if we're able to get local, sustainable fish, we will eat that and I fully plan to eat some meat in Paris. But we try our best. Here are some delicious recipes we have tried lately:<br />

Okay, truth time. I didn't know what halloumi was for YEARS. I'm pretty sure I thought it was a type of fish. But no, it's hearty, salty, delicious cheese! We've made a couple variations of this recipe and we love them all. <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/halloumi-lemony-lentils-chickpeas-beets">This </a>one is good and so is <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/corn-and-fregola-with-grilled-halloumi-cheese">this </a>one.<br />

THIS SANDWICH! This sandwich gives us emotional feelings, let me tell you. Mike actually found it in a Bon Appetit magazine while waiting in my fertility doctor's office. He spent a lot of time waiting out there while I got poked, prodded, and pinched. We didn't get a baby out of it, but we did get this sandwich which is...yeah not the same, but the sandwich is really effing tasty. Being veg, I miss just running to a deli and getting an easy sandwich whenever I want, so finding good veg sandwich recipes is so rewarding. This one is damn good and it turns your poop pink because of the beets, so that's fun right?<br />

Oh man, these eggplant meatballs are so good. First off, don't add the feta. It's unnecessary. And I'm saying this as ME. The person who literally finished off a log of goat cheese the other night while Mike was asleep. It just doesn't need it and the feta didn't really go. Mike uses garlic breadcrumbs when he makes them, chickpea noodles for less carbs, and Rao's pasta sauce because it's freakin' delicious. We have used this recipe a couple ways: the one shown above with pasta, as a meatball sub, and as filler for raviolis. All were good, dude. These balls are gooood.Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06766737888075065154noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296364817804128541.post-34488670043179489712019-03-25T13:12:00.000-06:002019-03-25T13:12:12.454-06:00CurrentlySo, I used to link up and This Sunday Currently every Sunday and I actually really liked it.

These are obviously not the most exciting purchase, but my old no show socks were really thin like pantyhose and would slip down. I needed good, thick ones for my upcoming Paris trip to wear with my Chucks and/or Rothy's. I wish I could wear those without socks, but they both rub on my pinky toes. These socks don't slip one tiny little bit, they are great.<br />

I have been trimming my own bangs for years. Because 1) I'm lazy and don't want to go to a hair person multiple times every couple of weeks and 2) I honestly think I do my bangs better than any hair person has. I don't know what it is, I like them better my way? I've been cutting them with office scissors for years. I basically HACK through my thick ass hair with shitty old scissors. It's not great. So these help a ton.<br />

I started collecting cute pins and were putting them on my backpack that I used to commute to work, but I inevitably would have one pop off when I got squeezed into a tight spot on the train and I didn't want to lose them. So I got this and put my current collection on it. I love it so far!<br />

Okay, I technically got these back in July, but I haven't blogged in two years so this counts as recently. I finally got good hiking boots! We have lived here four years now and I've still been hiking in my trail running shoes. Which means my feet hurt like hell afterwards and I constantly twisted my ankle on shit. These are so supportive for my ankles and I trip a lot less. I don't wear them with rolled socks like that every time, I swear.<br />

PUZZLES! I became obsessed with doing puzzles during a particularly stressful time at work. I would come home and work on it while Mike cooked and would even stay up late to work on it while Mike slept some nights. It was a nice way to turn my brain off from all the stress and anxiety and it's kind of fun. So I have a crapload now and this is one set I got that was really fun.<br />

I know the owner of this company so I've been buying her beans since the beginning, but they are seriously the BEST coffee. Mike loves it so much, he saves them for the weekends so we don't run out too fast. Worth every penny for these hand roasted, humane, and awesome beans. (Also Starbucks is not humane, google that shiz)<br />

I've wanted to get tattoos (other than my ever so classy college tramp stamp) for years, but I just can't commit. I ordered this temporary pug tattoo from Inbox and I can't wait to try it out.<br />

Alright, most of this shit was from Amazon. I'm not that exciting...Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06766737888075065154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296364817804128541.post-30393870720761622432019-03-21T15:24:00.004-06:002020-05-01T18:45:58.971-06:00Amsterdam<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last March, we went on a semi-spontaneous trip to Amsterdam. Mike is always wanting to take spontaneous trips and I always dream squash him. I need to plan everything and worry about money and etc., etc. I had recently subscribed to <a href="https://scottscheapflights.com/">Scott's Cheap Flights</a> (do it, do it now) and we had been talking a bunch about when we were going to do our next big trip. We both had good jobs, no kids, and loved our new dog sitters so WHY THE EFF NOT. One day at work, I got a Scott's Cheap Flights email for tickets less than $500 each round trip to Amsterdam and I forwarded it to Mike and said, "Book it." He was so excited that I was the instigator and we quickly booked and were ready to head out a couple months later.<br />
<br />
(We also started hardcore fertility treatments that same month which is a horrible idea stress and body-wise, but that's a story for another day.)<br />
<br />
Go to Amsterdam, everyone. It's gorgeous, walkable, has delicious food, everyone was friendly and spoke English, and even in shite weather, it was still worth every second.<br />
<br />
Hotels are pretty pricey there and we didn't plan to spend that much time in ours, so we stayed at <a href="https://cityhub.com/amsterdam/?gclid=CjwKCAjw7MzkBRAGEiwAkOXexCNkRdtijN4c9YxbDpbJPuDOyBpaK53JDuMFescII9KQYmWpIhTQ6hoC1PwQAvD_BwE">CityHub</a>. It's basically a really nice hostel slash pod hotel. It was super cool and modern and the hosts who work there were crazy nice. You get a wristband at check in that gets you into your room, you can use on the vending machines, and can use to pour your own coffee, tea, beer, and wine in the self service bar. I had a tiny panic attack thinking about how small this pod was going to be for my semi-claustrophobic self, but once I crawled in, it was totally fine. Not the easiest to change clothes in, but the bathrooms were huge and clean, so it worked out great!<br />

I wish I could look back on the trip a year later and give you our full itinerary and intelligently talk about what we did, but honestly we walked about 12 miles a day, did a couple museums, drank a ton of gin, and ate our faces off. THE CHEESE. You guys, the cheese. Here are a bunch of photos, both phone and fancy camera. Side note: CityHub gives you a portable wifi for your stay so that was awesome and very handy.</div>

One of the funnest things we did was cheese tasting at Reypenaer. We showed up to the shop and there a giant line outside, so we dip inside and ask if that line is for the tasting. They laugh and say no, it's for the weed shop next door. Mike and I are so confused why people would wait in line for weed and not cheese. </div>

The tasting was great though. They gave you a ton of cheese, some wine, some info, and let you cut that shit yourself (never would fly in the US). Have I mentioned cheese yet? The cheese shops you walk by just let you try everything! It was a god damn dream. We brought so much home. Side note: we claimed all the cheese on our forms on our flight home and when we went through security or immigration or whatever the guy looked on our form and was like, "You brought back dairy?" We explained that we had a couple blocks of cheese. He then looked at us like we were total idiots and told us to keep walking. Apparently you don't need to claim that...</div>

Another really fun thing was jenever tasting at Wynand Fockink. It's been open since the 1600's so it's this cool, dark, old pub building. They fill up your glass until it almost spills over and you have to bend down with your hands behind your back and suck some off the top before you can pick it up. We were prepared because of Anthony Bourdain (we watched all his Amsterdam episodes before this trip, obvi) so they didn't have to school us. It's like gin, but easier to sip and we definitely brought home two bottles. </div>

<br />
(No one cares)<br />
<br />
Do people still blog? Is that still a thing?<br />
<br />
Whatever.<br />
<br />
So I'm unemployed again! You don't have to pretend to be shocked this time. My company surprise announced they were closing two of our main offices, including the one I worked at and they laid almost everyone off. I got offered relocation to Columbus, Ohio and no one is surprised I turned that down. So I've been unemployed since October and guess what? I'm not mad about it this time! I went back recently and fixed a bunch of my old blog posts and half of them were during bouts of unemployment and are mostly me freaking out and whining. But this time, I kind of love it. I'm 36, my last job was super stressful and anxiety inducing, I've had a rough two years with personal issues, and I'm not mad about being unemployed so I can sleep in, work out, snuggle my dogs, and bug my husband. I kind of love it!<br />
<br />
So maybe I should blog again? For myself since I'm pretty sure no one reads these anymore?<br />
