We moved to Denver in August 2011. It’s pretty awesome. Just like everyone and their mama said it would be. Here’s your guide to all things girly, food, and running in my little corner of Denver. This is your go-to spot if you love frosting and want to avoid coyotes and rattlensakes.
Restaurants We <3
Pizza Republica Charming wood-fired pizza place in Landmark area.
Hacienda Colorado Fun Mexican food & great sauces!
Bam Bu Delicious Pan-Asian cuisine.
Gigi’s Cupcakes Self-explanatory!

hi! i am self-consciously trying to find new friends in denver through the internet–i’m moving there in may! your blog is very amusing, and your dog is so cute! also, i forget the name of it, but there was a nail place i went to a few times visiting the boyfriend last summer at around s. pennsylvania st and alameda ave that was very good and very cheap. also one of the employees had just had a baby and let me hold her. an unexpected perk, i suppose.
hello! found you from Tiffany’s blog (Snack Snark Bark). I’m a Denverite too! I’ve been to Cherry Creek Nails and agree that it’s pretty good – there’s a nail salon nearby there (further north a bit) that has mani/pedis for $30 TOTAL. They do a really great job too. IT’s called KT Nails http://www.yelp.com/biz/kt-nails-denver.
Anyway, welcome (late) to Denver! Glad you’re enjoying yourself!
Thanks for the tip!! I think I’ve actually seen that KT nails. That’s a STEAL!!!!! Hooray!
Yay for denver! If you like mad greens.. You’ll really like green fine salad co! When the weather gets nicer, you should definitely hit up boulder! Lots if great hikes!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’m seriously going to check that out.
Welcome to Denver! So glad to have found another CO blogger!
Yay!!! That’s the best!! I’m always surprised I don’t come across more!
