How to Pack a Perfect Suitcase

It's a thing of beauty. You know how everybody has one really weird skill that they have totally mastered? Mine is packing a suitcase. It's not that I'm a constant traveler or anything; it's just that I have deeply studied the topic and perfected my technique, because...well, I like being organized in all things I guess. I read an awesome book about 10 years ago called "Smart Packing for Today's Traveler" that got me started on this road to Unbelievable Packing Cleverness. Since then, I've whittled it down to a science. The suitcase I'm featuring here is a Samsonite Hardside Omni Expandable 24-inch Spinner , but I can pack almost this much stuff in their hardside 20-inch spinner (here's a cute 20-inch in Caribbean Blue!) After years of trying different types of suitcases, I am now utterly devoted to hardside luggage. It's feather-light, has more cavity space (Samsonite's suitcases are basically ALL cavity space,) and c

Healthy Soft Foods to Eat When You Can't Chew Well

I have been having some dental work done over the past couple of weeks, which inflamed my temporomandibular joint (because of having to hold my mouth wide open for 2.5 hours total.) I was forced to temporarily stop eating all the foods I normally love - chewy kale salads, brown rice, red cabbage and other raw vegetables, blue corn tortilla chips, and the like. I searched online for ideas of soft foods to eat when you have major dental work done, and didn't find much beyond mashed potatoes, pudding, and ice cream. Mashed potatoes are awesome, but not for every meal, and since I don't eat sugar any more, if I'm going to have pudding or ice cream, I've got to make it myself with an alternative natural sweetener or fruit. So I had to really brainstorm and search my cookbooks to come up with some decent-tasting foods to eat that were basically liquid or pureed. Either that or continue to be in fairly unsettling pain 24/7. I chose the former, because I really hate pain.

Seattle in March, My Kind of Place

Eight days in Seattle: a little rain, a little sun, and lots of cozy-good vibes. Last week was my first time in Seattle, and I think I'm in love. Between the ridiculous abundance of healthy vegan food and the complicated, ubiquitous recycling bins, I felt right at home. And this "home" had just about everything my little heart desired: cozy coffee shops serving up steaming mugs of foam-topped heaven; a focus on diversity within a community-and-togetherness culture; an easygoing, friendly populace eager to help newcomers and visitors find what they need and feel at ease. My guy and I arriving at "SEA-TAC"--the Seattle - Tacoma International Airport. We arrived late due to snowstorms delaying our flights, took a taxi to our hotel, and walked next door to the Queen Anne Beerhall to relax and enjoy a meal before bed. German beer...what's not to like? Long Skyrim-style tables and benches plus tall tankards of ale awaited us insi
