What I’m Wearing… * Red pants & jacket by Reigning Fury – I’m wearing a small in both. * Long sleeve crop top – – -IT WAS a classic cotton/jersey ballet leotard that was too small/short, so I cut off the crotch and it’s one of my favorite crop tops. I love the fit and …
I know this seems like a funny DIY to share but it’s a follow-up to my Dogwood Tavern restroom renovation post… which I was hoping to get up a bit more quickly but you know, I have zero time right now, lol. The original renovation post was so long I just figured I’d create a …
Now that Dogwood Tavern is finally open (THANK THE GOOD LORD) I can give you little insight into the renovation process, and I’m beginning with the restrooms. Why you ask?

While we had planned on doing a sort of quickie fix-it to open early 2017, it turned into a full-blown renovation. Much of the structure has remained the same, but the entire place has …
If you happened to have read this post then you’d know that along with two amazing partners, I’m opening a bar/restaurant up here in the mountains called Dogwood Tavern… AND I’M RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. It all began late last summer and by the end of October we finally secured the amazing space in Blue …
When we moved up here to Lake Arrowhead (just over four years ago now), I finally felt “at home”… but it took me a few years to actually settle in. I knew I was finally in the right place, I just couldn’t get the LA mindset out of my brain… and didn’t really even realize …
