DC & Denver

A business trip to DC is always welcome.  It gives me a good excuse to visit friends in DC--i.e. friends at the Travel Channel like Anthony Bourdain!  :P  Just kidding.
Had a blast visiting Arthur during the holiday season...diving straight into the deep end in the world of Scotch--becoming properly initiated among these seasoned Scotch connoisseurs.  These guys seriously know what they're doing, and I'm so lucky to learn from the best!  What a brilliant party....complete with a fresh mozzarella salad and home cured salmon.  Mmm.  Great company, great food, and great petty, smokey, strong Scotch.
 
I also got to see my one of my besties from college, Jordan, is my go to gal / stylist / publicist extraordinaire!  In addition to showing me how to wear my belts the DC way, she reminded me how to chill out and enjoy the beauty of making queso dip and just gabbing like girls do.  We also did a little moonlight monument tour, which was wonderful to experience at our own slow pace.  That, paired with a delicious spin around the city made DC a surprisingly charming place to be.  It's too bad we don't live closer together--she's so much fun!

Back in Denver, I found myself jumping into a number of projects...
Hanging with the gals from the Colorado Tourism office--Holla!
And taking charge of a few shoots:
 
 

But life's not all work, and no play.
There's always time to go out with friends, stay out late, and act like you're 22!


 Sometimes you gotta seize the moment.  Like if it's November and you feel like hanging out on the rooftop in a bikini.  Why not?  And have some yogurt while you're at it!
I love to try new restaurants.  Sometimes the budget is tight, but you gotta do it, once in a while.  You feel like you're on vacation in your own town.


Speaking of trying new things...how's this for a new do?  Same same, but different.


With the holidays coming up, it's important to spend time with the ones you care about.  I'm lucky to still be in contact with my friends from high school!  These ladies have known me forever, and it's wonderful. 
 
A little Metromix reunion, too!
