road trip essentials

I would post Montana pictures everyday if I could. Here are a few more snap shots from my trip. I thought I’d share a few of the travel hacks I’ve picked up over the years. The idea is to pack as light and smart as possible. Keep it simple and only bring along necessary items.…

Homestead Montana / for the love of nike

stepping back in time

Tinsley House in Bozeman, MT is over 100 years old, and life goes on about as if no time has passed since the day it was built. The entire structure was moved from its original location of Willow Creek so it could be near the Museum of the Rockies. A staff, dressed in the traditional…

Pittsburgh Adventures / for the love of nike

Let me be your Pittsburgh tour guide.

Pittsburgh is surprisingly a fun city to see as a tourist. It’s hilly and bridge-y and filled with good art. The natives, also known as Yinzers, are down to earth, sports fanatics, and like french fries in their sandwiches. where to drink: Fathead’s Fatheads is the place to grab a great beer (or a few…

Another year, another Lolla. I have a love/hate relationship with it myself. I’m sure that’s true for many. But hey, where else can you see an endless number of bands in a matter of 3 days? Here are a few things I learned about the festival.Let’s start with the etymology of the word. Lollapalooza (lä-lə-pə-ˈlü-zə)…

The world’s worst boat driver– that’s me!

After my recent helicopter adventure in Chicago, it was time to bring the excitement to the water. A few friends and I gathered for a birthday boat ride up and down the Chicago river, complete with the first cheesecake-stand on a boat.

CHicago Helicopter Ride and Sky Hi Sneakers

sky high in sky hi sneakers

Whew! That was my first helicopter ride. It was so fun and a little scary. But once you see the really great views, you forget all about your nerves. We flew straight into downtown Chicago, in between iconic buildings like The Hancock Building, Trump Tower, and the Willis Tower. The second we landed, I was…

ringing in the new years with faux fur, rainbows, and star-shine

New Year’s Eve is a great excuse to dress up in your fancy-smanshy clothes. I wore my new aluminum jewelry from the Art Institute in Chicago with my favorite black velvet dress. Throw in my long beaded gloves from Target and a faux fur hat from Canada and you’re ready to ring in the new…

Last week, I spent time in Minneapolis for work. Oh my goodness, it was cold! It got down to -9 degrees. I took off my jacket off for the first few pictures above and almost died. Although the temperatures were harrowing, the city was still quite lovely. I felt as though I was returning to a…

for people who take strange baths

I took these photos with my sneakers a while back, so it was a surprise to me when I received a text from a friend, “You’re on theCHIVE!” I was confused. So I pulled up the site, opened a post entitled for no rhyme or reason…strange baths, scrolled down for a bajillion years, and saw myself…
