Happy HUMP!!! You guys. I am so stinkin' stoked for today's post. It was inspired by one of YOU guys (actually, quite a few of you guys) reaching out on Instagram with one of the best, most legit Q's ever: Where the heck can I get a good white tee? What's the best white t-shirt? Why do all white tees end up being see-through and falling apart after ... Continue Reading »
HEYYYYOOOOO, Friday! You've been missed. I actually can't believe the end of the week is here already - maybe it's from all the traveling this week, but I swear it was just last Friday? Not a bad feeling to have, I know. ;) A CRAZY feeling is knowing that Memorial Day weekend is right around the friggin' corner. That means we're basically halfway ... Continue Reading »

Yo yo yo - happy HUMP! How's your week so far??? Last night, J + I grabbed Italian at one of our favorite local spots - it's a total hole in the wall joint (actually, more like hole in the highway - ha!), but they've got the BEST fried mozzarella on the planet.

Whoaaaaa is this week long or short or what? I think the fact that we were still traveling on Monday and didn't really start the work week until Tuesday totally threw us for a loop - and on top of that, J worked from home on Tuesday, so it REALLY felt like vacation since I had another human office mate. ;) The week has felt long because of long ...
