Ahh, it’s so good to be home! I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with work and catchup, but invigorated and excited about so many things coming down the pipeline. Eek! I’ll share them with you as soon as I can. This weekend I’m looking forward to relaxing with my family and enjoy this unusually beautiful weather here in San Francisco! Above’s a picture from our trip right before Alt Summit exploring the slot canyons 2 hours south of Salt Lake City. It was incredible, more photos next week!
Here are some links to explore:
This kickstarter for a documentary film about cassette tapes looks amazing!

Oh! Also, many of you have asked about my blog design, it was by Christine of Darling Design and I highly recommend her if you’re in the market!

Before Alt Summit started I was lucky enough to have my favorite hair stylist in town, Christie Somers. She’s a good friend of mine I met in Manhattan where she worked at a fancy salon on Park Ave, and she now takes clients in both Utah and NYC. She gave my hair a little upgrade color and cut, which it desperately needed. A photographer friend of mine who specializes in headshots, Alisia Packard, tagged along to document the process and make diet coke runs. Afterwards, they even let me raid their closets to pull together a few more outfits for the conference! So, it was a good day for old Liz.
So. Are you ready for the before/after pics?? (drum roll please…)

When I started scrolling through the Alt Summit photos I was inspired by all the beautiful messy (and not so messy) buns attendees were sporting! I even spied a few socks buns! Here are a few of my favorites:
