A Voyage

Lots of live-out-loud living lately for me. Simply immersed in moments complete with loved ones + new ones + globe trotting + giving + loving + high fives. Get out there and live the adventure, too. xx, JBD

Claudia Fallah Cosmetics

Have you ever had a facial? My mom always taught me less is more. A facial meant swimming in an ocean and moisturizer was nothing but a touch of olive oil here and there. As I grew up I changed some of my beauty habits, yet it wasn't until last year when I had my...

Lit From Within

It's June. Hello! I was back on the road last week, visiting family in the South and hopping around the Midwest for work. Instagram is my go-to social media when I surrender to the inner Kerouac. If you were wondering what happened to JBD, just click right here my...

Hi my JBD'ers. Now is all we have. I'm certain you've heard that before, huh? There are times when it feels right to hunker down and contemplate. There are times when it's a must to stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the moon. And there are times when all you...

Free Connection

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Ferris Bueller's words have crossed my mind all week. Tonight I went to yoga. Halfway into the second Om Woolf trumped Bueller. Inhabit yourself. It is so damn important. Our...
