A Serene Summer Table

Happy June, friends! It feels like the sneaky transition from spring to summer happened in the blink of an eye this year. It disguised itself as a solid month-and-a-half of nonstop rain here in Texas, leaving many of us to wonder if summer would ever arrive at all. Well this week it finally has, and thanks to those storms […]

Strawberry Thyme Yogurt

Strawberry season has come early this year and I can’t get enough. I love them most when raw, so over greek yogurt is always a great, easy option. But for just a little more effort (and a lot more flavor), strawberries are also amazing when macerated with a savory herb, like thyme or rosemary. It makes […]

A Wild and Whimsical Baby Shower

The ladies behind this Houston baby shower had the right idea. When asked what her number one rule was, co-host Megan Swartz Gellert replied, “If you have fun, interesting people in your life, every gathering will be a good time.” Combine that mentality with great taste, a gorgeous space, and this stylin’ Texas couple, and […]

20 Best Swimsuits of 2015

After a thorough peruse of my favorite online shops, I realized: swimsuit shopping has never been better. Necklines are getting higher, tassels are tying up crocheted bottoms, and creative cut-outs are appearing in more places than one. After tracking down both the trendiest and most classic suits for this summer, we say: spring for both! Pack a […]

Garden Fresh Cocktails for Spring

If your mom is anything like mine, her drinking habits are… well, minimal. No matter the occasion, you can bet that her first glass of wine will be her last, and shortly thereafter it’s straight to bed (no shame mom, we both know that’ll likely be me in a few years.) That being said, there’s no […]

Shake Up Your Makeup for Spring

Powder eyeshadow and matte lipstick are my staples during the winter, but around this time of year, I usually find myself craving a change-up in my makeup routine. My favorite way to shake things up? Checking out not just the fresh shades of the season, but the innovative new textures that are available. From demi-matte […]

Summer Heat Wave

Don’t you just love May? For starters, in terms of holidays–Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day–there’s a little something for everyone. The weather is warm, but not yet scorching and the promise of an impending tropical getaway lingers in the air. Last week in L.A., however, the weather was doing its best late […]

Treat Your Mom to the Best Brunch Ever

Like many families, most of our favorite traditions center around food: planning meals together, making them, and then of course – sitting around the table eating them. If there’s one recipe that represents family togetherness most to me, it would undoubtedly be my mom’s almond kringle that she’s made for holidays ever since I was […]

Blooming Jasmine

Is jasmine blooming where you are? The unmistakable scent of the precious white blooms is filling the streets in Texas, and there’s no better indicator of spring. Though it only sticks around for a few weeks here, the arrival of jasmine never fails to fill me with nostalgia and past memories of Mother’s Day, the first […]

An Arizona Cinco de Mayo Bash

Fruity Candy Bar Wrappers

Around here, nothing’s more exciting than getting our hands on a new tech gadget, so when the Sprout by HP arrived on our office doorstep, we couldn’t unpack the thing fast enough. We’d read all about the revolutionary computer’s capabilities and seen lots of other creations by browsing the #sproutbyhp hashtag, but actually getting to use it […]
