CURRENT MISSION

To find a tasty cookie recipe that doesn't last a moment on the lips and forever on the hips.

ABOUT ME

I am a really laid back gal that absolutely loves being surrounded by friends and nature. I love surprises and new experiences. I love people and always am making sure everyone is OK and happy (at my house you will usually find me in the kitchen making someone a drink or a snack). I am a Los Angeles Native so am a great tour guide for guests when I've got the time. I lived in NY during grad school but quickly returned after graduation because winter sucks and Cali beaches are the best.I am the oldest of 3 siblings and recently got married to my best friend. I have an awesome group of close girlfriends who are also super fun! I tend to be sarcastic and a little raunchy with my humor, so apologies in advance.
My hubby and I are planning a future on a sustainable farm hopefully starting in 2018. We spend a lot of energy and time learning about soil, sustainability, permaculture, animals and farming techniques.
I am currently studying all things plants/ethnobotany. I am enamored with how well suited nature is to take care of us!

PHILOSOPHY

My view on life and interacting with others is dominated by acceptance and openness. I cherish the difference and uniqueness in others and am always learning from the new people I meet.
