The moment I met Shiva Rose we immediately bonded on our floral namesake. “Sisters!” she said, with the genuine warmth and enthusiasm that defines her. Shiva lives and breathes the spiritual, earthy magic that she shares on her site, The Local Rose. This past April the wellness guru published her first book, Whole Beauty, which […]
Nothing’s better than settling into a sunny spot with an iced coffee and a good book in the summertime, am I right? The sheer act of making a summer reading list of all the books I want to read over the next 3 months feels like a physical reminder to make time to slow down […]
Happy summer weekend! The official first day of summer may not be for a few more weeks, but as far as I’m concerned, Memorial Day kicks off all the summer vibes I need to wholeheartedly embrace it. It’s an extra special one around here, as I became an aunt for the first time yesterday! My […]
When I sat down to think about May’s Living Kindly column, I knew I wanted to focus on someone that lights me up and inspires me with their tenacity and drive.

photos by kristen kilpatrick So far, my thirties have been all about discovering balance, trying new things, and finding deeper levels of inner confidence — in other words, the best decade of my life so far. That said, my birthday next month marks the move from “early” to “mid,” and it’s officially not too early to […]

We had a fun night out with friends at new Italian spot Il Brutto on Austin’s eastside – it was one of those nights where the conversation and good wine flowed so freely that before we knew it, I was rushing home […]
Molly Ritterbeck and I met a few years back while riding bikes in the Texas Hill Country during a Rapha Cycling Ambassador training camp and immediately hit it off. I’d love to say we bonded because of our shared love of bikes, but it was her affinity for a good dry shampoo and nail art […]
