Fun fact about me: I have a freaky talent for finding four-leaf clovers. I used to find them all the time as a kid. Even if I wasn’t trying to find them – I could just be walking along, glance down, and oh! There’s one! This is not a joke. It happened multiple times.

As an adult, I haven’t really added much to my clover collection. Maybe because my eyes are farther from the ground now than they were when I was 10 (but only slightly). Or maybe because I live in a city so there’s less green in my environment, or (most likely) I’m just a boring grownup with too many responsibilities who’s forgotten how to feel fulfilled by doing things that aren’t “productive.”

Last weekend we took a walk around Broad Ripple Park and there were tons of clover patches, so I decided to get reacquainted with my inner child, and whaddayaknow, I’ve still got it! Found 2 lucky clovers in about 15 minutes of searching. Not gonna lie, it was pretty fun. 🙂

So consider this my way of encouraging you to do something pointless that brings you joy. Good luck.

It makes me chuckle when I read a blogger’s glowing review of the world’s most wonderful, flattering, fabulous pants/jeans, because what’s perfect for some bodies will be horrendous on others, and vice versa.

So I’m not going to tell you I found the best pants ever, because inevitably, someone will get the same pants based on my advice and decide they’re the worst pants ever. But I will say that I freaking love these Everlane pants and I already ordered them in another color. If your hips are wide relative to your waist (I have about a 12″ difference) and it’s more in the width, not so much a big booty, these are worth a try if you want non-denim casual pants. They run big, but I got my usual size because I didn’t want them to be tight. (I’m also wearing the short length, and I’m 5’3″ for reference.)

While we’re on the subject, I just want to remind you ladies that if pants don’t look good on you, there’s something wrong with the pants, not your body. I mean, you’re smart – I know you know this. But a reminder never hurts.
