Guys, if you want a quality suit that you know will be a flattering fit, you can’t go wrong with ViX. I like to call it “grown up” swimwear, because it’s so nice and flattering on so many body types, and you’ll have them forever. Here are a few shots from our trip to Kauai at an amazing water fall, taken by Jessica Janae. (By they way, she is so much fun to work with!) My favorite part about…
Growing up in Seattle, I have a large soft spot in my heart for rain. Combined with my love of all things Jeffrey Campbell, I was pretty excited when my little sister found these rain boots. As our friend Kaitlyn said, “They look expensive”…but they’re not. Keep my feet dry without being clunky and heavy, and I still feel styled. Bring on the spring showers ;). I’m also kind of in love with this Madewell…
A couple nights ago, Blake and I went to one of our favorite beach spots to celebrate our friend Poppy’s birthday. It got a little windy and chilly, so we hightailed it to Ruby’s for shakes before the sun set. I love how much later it’s staying light after daylight savings! How cute is this romper from Amuse Society? They’ve got “Beach Vida Bling” figured out. Amuse Society Romper ~ Free People Necklace ~ D’Blanc Sunnies…
The other night, I had a surplus of organic sweet potatoes and wanted to find a new way to use them all up. I’d had this recipe saved to try for Healthy Chipotle Chicken-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes (I can’t remember where from, whoops). I love that it’s Paleo and Whole30 (if you leave off the cheese, which it’s totally good either way!) Blake and I both loved it, and if you’re currently Paleo or on Whole30…
I remember getting the call from my close friend, Bronson Christensen. It was in the fall of 2012 and I was gearing up for the coming ski season. Bronson called to tell me about a company our friends were starting and asked me if I wanted to get involved by endorsing the brand as a ski athlete. “People Water was founded on the simple idea that the easier it is to give, the more people…
It was a little chilly and rainy here, so for the most part Blake and I had a lazy weekend inside. We cooked, watched House of Cards, and left all the windows open to hear the rain. But by last night we were feeling restless, and I was dying to be outside and active. When we lived in Utah, we would always just drive up a canyon and start hiking, but here in Orange County…
Blake and I eat out…a lot. I love it when it’s just the two of us, because I feel like it’s our time. When I make dinner at home, I’m usually caught up in what I’m making, or we have the TV on, or one of us is on our phone. But when we go out somewhere, it’s like there’s an unspoken rule that we put our phones away and pay attention to each other.…
Lately, Blake’s been really determined to improve his surfing abilities. If there are waves when he finishes work, he’ll come grab me and we’ll hurry over to the beach to see what he can catch before the sun goes down. I usually just post up on a blanket or a life guard tower and watch him. (Not to sound like a bum, but it takes a lot warmer weather/water and perfect waves for me to attempt to…
Yesterday we ventured up to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena with our friend Charlie to watch one of the coolest events I’ve seen in a while. Shaun White brought Air & Style to LA, and even that normally takes place overseas. It was a mashup of big air skiing and snowboard competitions and awesome music, along with some good food and vendors. When we first walked in and saw the big ramp, built on scaffolding…
I was born into a ski family, so I didn’t really have a choice. For the first seven years, it was me and my two older brothers, then my little brother jumped in the mix. Of course skiing was a part of his life too. All of our lives were somehow intertwined with the sport, culture, industry and/or past time. My oldest brother, Michael was a ski patrolmen. Steven is an Olympic ski racer on…
