I'm moving!

2010 is all about consolidation.

I'm rounding up all the grit, glimmer and glory in my life and putting it in one handy spot. I present to you my new blog: Grit and Glimmer.

In a few weeks, HeidiSwift.com will redirect there and all of the posts here will move there as well. Grit and Glimmer is the reincarnation of the blog I started in 2004, The Everyday Athlete Blog. Check out this post to learn more about the change.

Grit and Glimmer will be my central online clearinghouse. Feel free to use the contact form there to drop me a line.

Best (and thanks for reading),
Heidi

Bat for Lashes - What's a Girl To Do?

Oy! This isn't new but I've got to share it anyway.

Pretty girl on bike with creepy costumed people on BMX bikes doing sick jumps in the background?

There is nothing I don't love about this.

Lenka es my new shadow crush

It's Sal's fault that I'm in love with the shadow people. He's always sending me the cutest videos.

Where the Wild Things Ate

 

[To skip the blabbering and head straight over to the photo gallery, mash this link.]

Here's the concept:

Two chefs, 12 (?) friends, one cozy Portland house, a fireplace, an army of wine bottles, stunning artisan cocktails, a menu inspired by a book and a movie.

Did I mention the chefs? They're important. They make the food. This isn't just any food - this is food that will leave a mark on you forever. Flavors that take you by the shoulders, look deep into your eyes and wake you up. This is a celebration of taste and flavor and texture and everything that was ever good about anything you ever put in your mouth.

It's conversation and laughter and community with people that you just met. You don't know how you got there, why you were invited, or what you ever did to be so fucking lucky so you just sit back and let it roll. Because sometimes life is warm and soft and delicious. And you deserve it.
