The Dress
Aah, the Oscars. Being an actor, I love “Awards Season.” It’s my Super Bowl. (Although, to be clear: I do love me some football too 🙂 ) But I definitely make an evening of it. This year I’ll be watching at a friend’s party, but no matter where I am, I always watch with a…

State of the Union
Well, here we are. One year later. Last week was my one year anniversary of BBB. My “blogiversary.” (And please read the sarcasm there…I am literally cringing as I type that word.) I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t think I was going to do one of “these posts.” You know the type — “Oh my gosh,…

Stopping the Freight Train
What did we do before email? Seriously, though. What was the world like before we could instantly communicate with people around the globe? Reflecting on that makes me feel very small. Anywho. In case you were unaware, I have an email address for the blog. (Also a twitter @Anarevealed and Instagram @beauty.beyond.bones.) But my email…

CO State of Mind
I love rock climbing. If you didn’t know, I went to school out West, and enjoyed rock climbing a few times. Both in climbing gyms and in the outdoors. It’s practically a religion out there. But rock climbing is really a great sport. Not only is it a great workout physically, but also mentally –…

Dear Mom
This post is for my mom. Someone who, I can easily say, knows me the best in the world. I don’t know why exactly this was put on my heart today to share about this, but whatever — that hasn’t stopped me before… This past Thanksgiving, my mom and I put up the Christmas tree together while I…

The Smudge
Ash Wednesday is a weird day in New York. Because for really the first time during these blistery winter months, you actually look up and see people. Now, I know…that sounds bad. Like, what the heck? Who is this girl that she just goes around with her head in the clouds, not seeing people? But…

Redefining Lent
Lent. *sigh* This is a rather bittersweet time of year for me personally. Because even though it is leading up to Easter and is such a beautiful and intentional season of reflection, it also brings up a lot of pain for me. Because you see, Lent of sophomore year in high school, was when my…

I Got This
Puzzles. They’re the previous generation’s version of Angry Birds or Bejeweled. But I must confess: I absolutely love them. I rarely do them, because let’s be honest: every ounce of free time I have is devoted to BBB, but I do love a good puzzle. So I make the kids I nanny for do them with me…

Love Never Fails
I’m gonna just come right out with it: it’s been a rough couple of days. So I apologize for my absence this past Thursday. What was I doing? I was breaking someone’s heart. Please don’t read that in a “My-Milkshake-Brings-All-the-Boys-to-the-Yard” kind of a way. But rather, in a “I-just-had-to-hurt-someone-that-I-care-about-deeply-and-am-feeling-tremendously-guilty-and-full-of-sorrow-because-of-it” kind of a way. As you know, this year,…

Control
Control. In today’s culture, we’re all about it. We can control when we watch TV with DVR, we control how we come across on social media, we try to control our college or job trajectory by taking just the right classes or getting a particular degree. We try to control our diet and exercise —…
