Web Time Wasters
How was your week, friends? I flew back from Philly on Monday, after spending a few days poking around Reading Market, eating my weight in soft pretzels, and imagining a life in which I live in one of those row houses with cute window boxes and a brass knocker on the door.
I’ve traveled SO MUCH these last few months and I’m really looking forward to spending the next few months doing things like: staining the deck. Going to friends’ weddings. Actually moving my life and business forward instead of just packing, unpacking, and digging myself out of an email hole.
Also! On May 10th, I’m running my Spending Diet + Earning Spree book as a group program! Book + private Facebook group + live Q & A + accountability for less than the price of a Target swimsuit! Sign up below and you’ll be the first to know when doors open!

I'd forget my bottom-of-the-line smartphone in my purse for days, only fishing it out to use the gps or take funny photos of my cat. I didn't have any apps and I swear to god, when I first got an Android, I couldn't figure out how to answer incoming calls. Then I took a 23-hour train...
Kitchen Globetrotter: China // Ma Po Tofu
I recently returned to the States after a year of living in China. And not once since that return have I ordered Chinese food—because, guys? Real Chinese food is tough to come by ‘round here.
