On Saturday I had a great audition and on Sunday I spent all day on set, working as a 2nd AD (Assistant Director). Today I went to Power Group at The Actors Network and then spent all evening (five hours) at the Upright Citizens Brigade watching and doing a little participating in improv - the last show I went to was the monthly "jam." As I was signing up I was thinking, "Eek, what am I doing!?" But I do love to challenge myself! Because I was so busy this past few days I didn't get to do as long of workouts as I wanted but I fit in what I could. Saturday: 40 minutes bike 20 minutes dance Weights/strength: chest, upper back, triceps stretching Sunday: 20 minutes bike Monday: 20 minutes bike Weights/strength: biceps I do have a little announcement -- I am now the LA sales rep for Moda Industria! I reviewed one of their bags a few months ago. This is the website - www.modaindustria.com . They are all made in Bloomington, Indiana, by people I know (my best friend ...

Today I feature an ode to my Matt & Nat bag. If you're familiar with vegan fashion, you know Matt and Nat .

Just like Olsen Haus are my absolute favorite vegan shoes, Matt & Nat are my favorite vegan bags. I bought a Matt and Nat Samsara bag on sale almost two years ago and I'm so in love with it. Isn't it gorgeous? If...

I am so excited about my Fashion Friday post today! Incidentally - I feel like I just wrote a Fashion Friday post. Time sure is flying by. My day was very productive - I worked out, went grocery shopping, did laundry (and hung it outside to dry), studied lines for my callback tomorrow, worked for several hours on formatting my book for self-publishing like I talked about yesterday , and I did a little photo shoot with my new favorite purse! Yeah, this one. A little backstory -- the fabrication shop my best friend works for in Bloomington, Indiana has decided to expand their business and they recently started making purses designed by a local woman named Lucia Bennett. They offered to send me one for free if I would talk about it and hand out business cards. Well it turns out I don't even need to try and talk about this purse - it's a conversation piece, plain and simple. The first second I had this purse it got a comment. I opened the box, carried the bag out of my room i...
