The Good, The Bad and Vegas

January 28, 2011

So, here is intention #2 for 2011: GO TO VEGAS. The big news in Skinny Dip land this week is that I’m going to Vegas for Bloggers in Sin City where I will spend three (hopefully wild and crazy) days in Vegas with 99 other Bloggers. Yes, you just read that right. I’m meeting the rest of my tribe! I really wanted [...]

Bringing the Sexy Back

January 26, 2011

Instead of writing myself a New Years letter like I did last year (which lead to me weeping while watching Teen Wolf on Dec 31st – a moment I’m not exactly dying to repeat) I’ve decided I’m just going to write about my intentions for 2011 whenever I feel inspired.

My biggest regret so far in 2011 has been not buying these gloves. My friend discovered them while we were shopping at a local hardware store in my hometown over Christmas. I feel like this photo should be a prompt for a post about the obvious but, I HAVE NO WORDS. Happy Thursday! xox

You can take the girl out of Hippie-land but you can’t take the Hippie-Land out of the girl

January 9, 2011

Whenever I go home to West Coast for a visit, I inevitably slip into “West Code Mode”. I start talking slower, my west coast drawl re-appears, things like hippie vans, restaurants with menu items like “The Feel-Good Balancing Soy Burger” and overheard conversations about “soul travel” & “astral projection”, stop seeming out of the ordinary as I gradually sink back into the [...]

2010: My Year of Packing Light

January 7, 2011

I didn’t have the New Year’s Eve I thought I would have this year. I’m usually all about NYE. I get excited. I buy a new dress. I stock up on Champagne even though I don’t even really like it, just because its New Years. I’m that annoying friend who whines and begs and tries to drag you out of the house [...]
