coming clean about the cleanse- part 1
9. February 2009
At long (three week) last, I have reached the end of the Kathy Freston’s Quantum Wellness Cleanse with my friend, Kaitlyn. I have mentioned this cleanse a fair amount but now I feel it is time to come “clean” and share the ups and downs of making under my diet. To summarize, I have decided [...]
live puppies?
9. February 2009
They say you can find anything on the internet. I have never questioned that statement. But when Erwin told me about this site his co-worker was addicted to, where you can watch puppies- LIVE, I was taken aback. Why watch a litter of white labs? I can only imagine extreme boredom must entice viewers. I [...]
happy weekend!
6. February 2009
what a great photo of… somewhere in Ann Arbor As you read this I am probably stuck on an Amtrak train somewhere between Chicago and Ann Arbor, Michigan. This weekend will be spent with my good friends, Maggie and Marisa, before they take their medical Boards and drop off the planet. Have a great weekend! [...]
end of the week exfoliation: broken boots
6. February 2009
You would think that someone who is interested in living simply would fix or throw away boots with a broken zipper. But strangely, that has not been the case for me and my tall brown boots. These questionably faux leather boots were my “go to” shoe of winter, 2007. I wore them daily until the [...]
happy birthday mikey c!
5. February 2009
19 years ago my littlest brother came into this world. Known as Mikey C to friends and Michael to family, this freshman at Michigan State is one of the kindest, decent, and most relaxed people I have ever met. Seriously. I hope you have a good day, Mike. (Your gift is in the mail….)
february: makeunder my credit card
5. February 2009
unfortunately not my actual credit card, but boy is it funny! photo found on flickr A few days ago a friend mentioned that in order to curb unnecessary spending, she chose to stop using her credit card for a month. I was incredulous. A whole month with no credit card? I am the type of [...]
loving the london fog
4. February 2009
Late last week I had an appointment with my accountant for Jess LC at a Starbucks in Bucktown. It was mid afternoon and I was craving my usual chai tea latte, lamenting about my vegan cleanse’s no “added sugar” rule. my very first London Fog…* To my delight Starbucks’ R&D team seem to have anticipated [...]
design crush: anthropologie rugs
4. February 2009
Though it was tough to find jpegs of these amazing rugs from Anthropologie, they are certainly worth checking out in more detail. I can’t say I would put them on “Intentional Obsession” status, but they are definitely huge, beautiful statements. And at this point in early February with three frozen months behind me and a [...]
a pocket full of posies for less than a pocket full of change
3. February 2009
This is the coolest trick ever. Okay, maybe not the coolest, but way up there. Up there with turning a tangelo into a dessert bowl. It’s that cool.Here is the deal: every two weeks I shop at Trader Joe’s for groceries and I struggle to determine whether or not it is worth buying fresh cut [...]
off the chain update: teaching team in training
3. February 2009
Saturday started bright and early. I had a Jess LC Soc Chic event with Team in Training in Elmhurst, Illinois. My trusty friend Kaitlyn (in the photo above) was both my partner in crime and navigator. For four hours we met Team In Training participants raising money for endurance events, and taught them how to [...]
manual bowling
2. February 2009
This past weekend started with a bang. Friday night Erwin got tickets to see Macbeth at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. We enjoyed the play (I had never seen/read Macbeth before), and even scored front row seats. Afterward we went to Southport Lanes (pictured above) and put tips in the bowling balls in order to win [...]
i am thankful for: my yummy metallic leather planners
2. February 2009
Part of my quest to live the “made-under life” is to appreciate things that I have in addition to ridding my space of things I don’t need. So this post is an ode to my silver daily planner and blog inspiration notebook. I love everything about them. They are soft, supple, and collect all my [...]
