    Bachelor Ben Rose Bracket: Week Five

    Bachelor Ben Rose Bracket: Week Five

    We are officially going to be in the single digits this week! I feel like this is going to be the hardest week to choose who to send home because there are quite a few girls we are unsure of, but this could be the week they break out of the background and steal Ben's heart. I have been going back and forth on who I want to send home, and I probably won't decide until tomorrow night before the show. If we're having this much trouble choosing, I can only imagine how hard it is
    My Favorite Sweaters Under $100

    My Favorite Sweaters Under $100

    I love a good sweater, and thanks to cool year-round temps in San Francisco, I can wear a light sweater pretty much every month of the year. Today I am jet setting to Dallas for Create + Cultivate Dallas and I could not be more ecstatic. If you're not familiar with Create + Cultivate, it's an organization that hosts conferences and events for creative women in the digital space - from bloggers, to photographers, to designers and beyond. Some of the biggest bloggers and women

    HerStory: Hollie Tripp on faith, love and becoming a Canadian

    Have you ever wanted to make a significant change in your life—a big move, a career change or even something as simple as chopping your hair off—but it seemed like the most frightening and intimidating circumstance you’ve ever faced? I think we’ve all been there, and today I am thrilled to share Hollie (Christian) Tripp’s story with you; it’s a story of love, family, adventure and faith, and it’s one that will move you to tears while simultaneously move you to take charge of
    Getting organized – for real this time

    Getting organized – for real this time

    Image via Infarrantly Creative I’m not typically one to make New Year’s resolutions, mostly because I don’t love the notion that we should “change ourselves” solely because a new year has begun, and I truly despise the saying “new year, new me.” I like the current me! I think there are always aspects of our lives that we can improve upon, but I believe it should come from a desire to be better because we want to be better, not because society proclaims the new year is a time
    Bachelor Ben Rose Bracket: Week Four

    Bachelor Ben Rose Bracket: Week Four

    I just want to start with this: Lace really impressed me last week, but she also made me sad. As much as I love this show, I can only imagine the self-esteem issues it forces upon people, and say what you want about their own decisions about going on the show; it still must be so tough, even for the most confident woman. I felt that Lace’s chat with Ben when she decided to leave was extremely honest and genuine. It almost felt like we weren’t watching a TV show and were inste
    My favorite Nike Women Running Gear

    My favorite Nike Women Running Gear

    Running outside in San Francisco makes way more sense than running inside in San Francisco. Most of the year, the weather is perfect, and there are tons of scenic views to keep your attention off of the pain or exhaustion you feel as you stride through the miles. It's kind of tough to run near our apartment because we live close to the heart of downtown and the Financial District (read: small spaces filled with people not paying attention to anything), but once you get out by
    Desk to Drinks Transition Pieces

    Desk to Drinks Transition Pieces

    I am lucky enough to work in an office that drops the business from “business casual.” (Thank you, SF.) I can wear jeans and Converse to work every day if my heart desires. As tempted as I am to do so, I still try to dress up as often as possible so 1) I don't feel like I'm dragging and 2) so I put all those clothes in my closet to good use. This outfit can be easily transformed into a business casual outfit. Just add a blazer (which actually makes it a bit more biz professi
    Common Resume Errors to Avoid

    Common Resume Errors to Avoid

    Who here despises updating their resume (raises hand)? It can be so tedious and, quite frankly, difficult. But it's crucial to have a stellar resume. A recruiter at my company told me that on average, she receives about 50-70 resumes per week, and that number can escalate depending on what positions she is leading. Not to scare you, but that’s some serious competition. It must be the writer/copywriter in me, but I actually enjoy editing resumes for friends. I’ve noticed that
    Bachelor Ben Rose Bracket: Week Three

    Bachelor Ben Rose Bracket: Week Three

    It's that time of the week! Last week was absolutely insane. I don't know who comes up with these dates, but every year I think they can't get crazier, and then ABC outdoes itself. Poor Samantha. Sour, Ben? Really? I will say, I didn't love Olivia the first night like some people did. I found her to be disingenuous, and I was kind of shocked she received the first impression rose. Now all of my friends are upset because she is proving to be the villain of the season, but I li
    My favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe

    My favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe

    You know how your parents seem to make everything better than you can, no matter how hard you try? My mom makes an incredible Greek salad dressing that I've been trying to replicate for years, but something is always a bit off. My dad can whip up the most delicious homemade lattes. (Secret ingredients: brown sugar and whipping cream. No one said it was good for you.) My dad also makes the most amazing chicken tortilla soup. He made it for our Christmas Eve dinner this year, a
