A Professional Organizer’s Guide to Staying Stress-Free During the Holidays
Editor’s note: Last year, Amy Vance of Eco Modern Concierge joined us to share her holiday gift-giving organizational tips.

Healthy Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Let me start by saying that ice cream and iced coffee are two of my favorite things on the planet. So winter’s arrival always leaves me in a bit of a predicament: do I abandon icy treats until warmer temps arrive? It just doesn’t seem right. I know, I know, there’s nothing quite like strolling down the sidewalk during the […]
Inside the Holiday Dinner Party I co-hosted with Target + Camila Alves
Especially leading up to the holidays, the home decor section of Target is truly my happy place.

Candice Kumai Will Inspire To Host a Festive Holiday Brunch
The other day, my morning spin instructor played that great Alicia Keys song, Girl on Fire, and as I sweated it out and thought about some of the powerful women I knew, Candice Kumai came to mind. I’ve know this bestselling author, chef, contributor to E! News and the Today show (among others) over the […]
Cranberry Ginger Oat Crumble

Chanel’s Pre-Wedding Picnic at a French Chateau

Finally, this week, Eric and I get […]
