From Her:

Ode to Chacos

Oh Chacos, how I love thee…Let me count the ways….

Your amazing tread
The super adjustable straps that allow for a custom fit
The super cool tan lines you have left on my feet
The way you match every article of clothing I have here (which isn’t much, but still…J )
How “tick” (thick) and durable you are

In case you haven’t realized yet, Chacos are pretty much the most amazing sandal ever, and if you do not own a pair yet, you need to go invest in some.


Leave it to Beaver….Remember that show? With Mrs. Cleaver? Well, sometimes I think we have gone back in time to that era. I have become Mrs. Cleaver, only I don’t have a cute little apron to wear when I cook. I am quickly mastering the talent of handwashing. This is not a very enjoyable task. Each week we make a couple different fruit juices for breakfast. One is a mixture of pine (pineapple), bananas, and oranges; the other is a mixture of cherries and passion fruit. They’re pretty amazing. Then, I get another pine and make fresh pine jam for the week. This is by far the most domestic I have ever been in my life. When not in the apartment, I wear skirts pretty much 24/7, because as a female, that’s what you do here. It’s definitely interesting to learn new ways of doing things, even though it may be frustrating at times when all I want to do is wear a tank top and shorts!
