Emily from Haptic Lab dropped off a prototype of their new sailboat kite. Hopefully I’ll be able to take this thing out in the wild this weekend!
Scenes from my weekend.
madewell + birchbox + me
Last week, I had the pleasure to work with Birchbox and Madewell on a meet the bloggers series. Birchbox did my hair and makeup and Madewell provided clothing for a fun photoshoot. If you aren’t familiar with Birchbox, it’s a great way to try new beauty products. You sign up for a subscription and they send you samples monthly of new products. The lip gloss I used at the shoot has become my everyday favorite (it’s birchbox pink by jouer). Madewell is one of my very favorite brands especially because their stuff is pretty casual, which is how I dress most days. I fell in love with this dress and this super soft leather jacket.

- Crossfitters: my friend Dan Betz made a great app for tracking your benchmark WODs BNCHMRK.me.
Last night I experienced a rare moment when I realize I am a grown-up and I can do whatever I want. So, instead of heading home after babysitting my nieces like I had planned I headed to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked halfway across. I can’t think of a better ending to the first day of Spring.
Oh, and I took some photos!

My dear friend Julia Robbs just launched a new website, with prints! You’ve probably seen a lot of her photos around here, so take a peek at a bunch more on her new site.
Happy Tuesday friends with some nice hand lettering by my friend Aymie.
I recently opened a small shop at Society6 with these two photos available as prints. Check it out here.
Today’s CrossFit Games Open score still has me smiling. Three weeks left to go, follow along here.
