Chicago

I haven’t been posting as much as I would like, but life has been busy. There have been so many changes, and so many more still to come. I am trying not to stress too much, and enjoy everything. I’ll write more about it later. 🙂 It also occurs to me that I failed to update my New Year goals, whoops. here is last year’s, which shows what I managed to do, and this year’s goals. Chicago was on my list for the year, so in May I went to see it. Here are some pictures from the trip. Chicago is an interesting city, I absolutely love the architecture, the dizzying fire escapes, the old […]

Weekend Away

Last weekend I took a little trip up to Grass Valley/Nevada City to see Devandra Banhart in concert, and it was every bit as wonderful as I had hoped it would be. The concert was incredible, completely worth the drive. I scored a signed copy of the Cripple Crow record! I stayed in a little vintage airstream, which was absolutely lovely. The tiny space was a bit intimidating at first, but I quickly realized just how little space I actually need to be comfortable. The airstream had a little bathroom, but they also had a composting outhouse, which was actually pretty cool. As a kid, I had a 200+ year old summer house in the […]

Back Home

Some things will never change! Flying can still be really fun and really uncomfortable, seeing new places will always take my breath away, big cities always make me feel completely free, and nature always makes me feel more peaceful. I got all of that over the past few days. NYC is beautiful! DC reminded me of some European cities I have been to, but NYC is definitely all American. Seeing the White House, and the monuments around DC was certainly a positive experience for me, but nothing like what I felt as I stood on the Brooklyn Bridge. I have wanted to see the Brooklyn Bridge since I was a kid, and obsessively reading anything […]

Unexpected Trip

I am taking a quick and unexpected trip to DC and NYC. I am so excited! It’s been so long since I’ve traveled, and I have never been to either of those cities. I won’t have much time, but there’s a few places I definitely want to visit. I’ll make a post with all the pictures as soon as I get back, and I will keep my instagram updated, but I just wanted to share the news because….NYC! and Washington DC! Lots of good things to come! Love, Maca

Weekend Away

It has been an eternity since I have left this lovely little town of mine. For someone who quite enjoys a trip, even a short one, this wasn’t easy. But I was a good girl, I followed all the rules and did all the right things (with one notable exception, but I’ll cover all that later), and here is my reward! I am a huge fan of Devendra Banhart, and the man is playing a concert in October! It’s not exactly close by, but it’s not super far. I would say it is the perfect distance to plan a little weekend get away around the event, and so I did. And boy, am I excited. […]

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I hope it was a good one. I know things are weird and many of us did not get to see the people we would usually spend this time with, but it’s always good to remember that there are still things to be thankful for. Here are a few sweet things I am grateful for. My sweet girl (but not that I did this hair!)
