A quick and dirty update because something is usually better than nothing (though not always). Tarantino. The cinematic mastermind's penultimate film finally came out this weekend, and I snagged tickets to the 70mm screening of "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood" at Alamo Drafthouse up in the city. I'd been following early reviews all last week (Mick LaSalle's and A.O. Scott's were two well-written favorites), and did some light background reading courtesy of Michael Hainey's conversation with Tarantino, Pitt, and DiCaprio i[...]

It’s tough to find the time to update but I figure one post a year is better than nothing! A lot has changed since April 2018. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s going on as of late. Health. I’ve really gotten into eating healthy and working out this year. It wasn’t even a resolution (one I make and fail to stick with most years), but I got to a point where I was just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I’m now a little obsessed with Barry’s Bootcamp, a pretty bougie establishment with a smoothie bar and "c[...]

May Update: New Music, Skincare & Self-Care.

May 12, 2017

It's been awhile since my last post, so I wanted to do a little monthly update to keep things fresh! I've been crazy busy trying to juggle everything (which I'll touch on shortly), but a lot has happened in the last little while that I wanted to write about. HOWSLA I came across this new compilation album from OWSLA while "training" for the Bay to Breakers 12K footrace on May 21st. I say "training" because B2B is technically more of a moving block party than a real run haha, but I just wanted an excuse to get into the[...]

Iggy gets traded (again). This past Wednesday marked the NHL's 2017 trade deadline, which saw several big moves including Calgary's almost (he was born in nearby Edmonton) hometown hero Jarome Iginla. Despite being traded to the Penguins back in 2013, followed by subsequent moves to Boston and Colorado, Calgarians have always rooted for the longtime Flames captain. I don't think it's possible to be a true Calgary Flames fan if you can't say that you want to see our boy finally be able to hoist up the cup, regardless of[...]

MUJI's Vancouver pop-up. I finally snagged a coveted spot to check out the MUJI pop-up shop, which is part of the Japan Unlayered exhibition at Fairmont Pacific Rim. MUJI is a Japanese brand (of sorts...you'll understand what I mean shortly) that designs and produces a variety of "no-brand quality goods." Think of them as a Japanese version of Ikea—although I think their products focus a tad more on practicality, sustainability, and design. According to a printout I received at the pop-up, the company is based on�[...]
