Hello, friends! Happy October and happy autumn! I’m not sure what it’s like in your part of the country/world, but here in West Virginia, it’s starting to feel and look a whole lot like fall. The mountains are exploding with hues of orange and gold and red. The days are getting cooler. The last of…
Hello Beautiful People, Lucky Disaster Volume 4 is two weeks from now. TWO WEEKS. And I’m not even sure where to begin with this behind the scenes feature – there’s just so much to say. And I’m trying to spare you all from a novel here. Let’s start with this – Lucky Disaster Volume 4…
Hello Beautiful People, I’m going to keep this short + sweet — if you haven’t checked out the music of Ella Henderson, I strongly encourage you to do so. A particular favorite song of mine is Ghost, by Ella Henderson. It’s like an anthem for starting over. It’s brilliant. Truly. You can purchase the song…

Hello Beautiful People, It was a Wednesday afternoon, and I was at the Cupcake Cafe with my new, (now old), friend Shakina Nayfack. It was a wonderful day, one of those perfect New York moments – I was having cupcakes and coffee with a kindred spirit, a new friend, we were sharing stories of art…
Hello, music lovers! I hope you all had a fun and music-filled Record Store Day on April 19! I know I did. I was only able to spend about an hour and a half at my hometown record store, and while I feel like I’d need way more than 90 minutes to browse the store’s…
Hello, music lovers! So a few days ago I introduced you all to Record Store Day and the magic of record stores and vinyl. But how do these special RSD releases work, you ask? What’s being released? How can I get my hands on them? This is where the Record Store Day site comes in…
