breckenridge brewery

currently listening to "gold mine" by breanne düren



due to lack of planning, we weren't able to book a tour at several breweries, but im glad we didn't because then we would've missed out on the best tour! breckenridge brewery offered a free brewery tour that came with a free pint of your choice (we opted for the summer bright ale yuuum) and the people that work there are just so nice you could pinch them. after the tour, i decided to order the main line flight for kicks (the agave wheat and vanilla porter were divine), but what do you know -- that was comped too. rough life, i know.

loveland basin

currently listening to "terminally chill" by neon indian


nooo we didn't ski on the bunny slopes, we were way more legit than that. well, not black diamond legit, but -i mean- we weren't falling on our faces or anything so i guess that means we're pros...

healthy living

incredible lyrics: "keep ya head up" by 2pac

in addition to working out, eating well, and smiling.. another important aspect of a healthy lifestyle is drinking 8 glasses of water a day.



there are several great health benefits linked with drinking that much water a day which include: weight loss, skin tone improvement, digestion regulation, and increased concentration (among many others). oftentimes, you may not even think that you're not drinking enough water because your body has just gotten used to the measely 2 or 3 glasses that you've been intaking. and if you're as active as i am, then you could probably even drink more than 8 glasses a day because your body is yearning for that hydration. when im at work, i make sure to keep a tally of how much water i've had that way i know the exact amount and its not a guessing game.. it may seem silly, but you'd be suprised to see how much water you've been depriving yourself!

if you're like my mom who doesn't like the "taste" of water (i know, it's weird) then try adding things to spruce up the flavor. you could try squeezing lemons and oranges in it for a citrusy taste or slicing cucumbers in it for a great summer refresher. i also find it so much more appealing when i drink out of a pretty glass and a fun straw, but that's really your call; alot of my friends swear by camelbak's spill proof bottles which are said to increase water intake by 24%. any way you go about it, just be sure that you're drinking enough water, especially since the hot summer months are approaching -- happy hydrating!

wash park

currently listening to "blue skies again" by jessica lea mayfield


on the first full day of my denver visit, jenn took me to a cute little area called wash park. we ate at tavern and i swear to goodness that they make the best fish tacos i've ever had (sorry george's). spent the rest of the morning just roaming around the stores, one of which was completely dedicated to gnomes; needless to say, we were squealing pretty embarrassingly. we also stopped in devil's food for a much needed iced coffee pick-me-up where i attempted to put on my newly purchased candy necklace (c/o the gnome's nook), but what do you know, it didn't fit.. tears and disappointment quickly followed, but then i just wore it as a bracelet. genius. more photos of my denver trip to come :)
