How To Build A Morning Routine
Living kindly. Let’s talk about this for a second. I get asked quite a bit, What does living kindly mean? And the truth is, living kindly means something different for everyone. When I started this column two years ago, the focus was sharing my weight loss story, and how I made a pact to be […]
4 Reasons You Should Try Something New Today
I love a good routine. As I write this, I’m sitting on our back patio with a cup of coffee (steamed almond milk and a dash of honey per usual) and my laptop, having completed my skincare routine, popped my vitamins, and done a quick meditation. Just like I do every single morning. Studies have shown […]
Magic and the Movie Set
I caught the premiere of David Gordon Green’s Manglehorn during SXSW in 2014. (I remember spending a good part of the day waiting in the long line that wrapped around the Paramount theater to get in.) Turns out that Shane and Anna were there, too — they had met two years earlier by chance on the […]
Why You Should Be Procrastinating More
Confession: before I sat down to write this post, I hopped up and made myself a cup of coffee. Then I posted a couple images to my Instagram stories. Just when I thought I was ready to settle in and start writing, I remembered a text message that needed a response. And finally – here we […]
Weekend Notes
Happy weekend, friends! On Friday, my phone accidentally got run over by a car (seriously), so the last couple days have become an unintentional digital detox. I’ve got to admit, I’m thinking about making it a regular thing — it’s been so nice to not feel shackled to my phone, and to not give into […]
Weekend Notes
Happy Summer Sunday, friends! We dove headfirst in the work week after getting back from our Italy travels, and though I was so happy to be home, it was tough to get back in the swing of things work-wise. The weekend came just in the nick of time to provide us with the unscheduled carefree summer […]
The Soul Mates and the Sea
Heather and Bryant Goodman have a lot going on this year: they’re scheduled to visit eight different countries, including Jordan, Thailand, South Korea and the Philippines. Together, they’re the creative power couple behind the travel blog Our Good Adventure. (If you don’t already follow Heather on instagram, her travel photography is pretty unreal.) When they’re not […]
My June 2017 Reading List
Greetings, fellow bookworms! I’ve got some real gems for June, starting with the must-read memoir that was released today… and ending with my current read that promises to make me more self-aware. There’s also the world’s most gorgeous cookbook and a brand new issue of my favorite print mag. I’m currently in Italy soaking up some major […]
Weekend Notes
Morning y’all, happy holiday weekend! We’ve already been soaking it up in a major way around here: yesterday was hiking and farmer’s market and rosé by the pool and trying out a new eggplant recipe on the grill (so good – can’t wait to share the recipe with you guys.) Can’t believe that my birthday […]
7 Ways to Support the Women Around You
Though the past year has been full of political and cultural uncertainty, for me, a major silver lining of it all is that it’s awoken so many women (myself included) to the fact that we’ve still got to fight for each other. For a lot of my life, I thought that “feminism” wasn’t all that necessary […]
Weekend Notes
Morning, y’all! We started the weekend early on Friday morning with Phoebe’s preschool graduation (still can’t believe it), then a celebration lunch with the kids and playing hooky in the pool all afternoon. Amazing how an extra day makes the weekend feel so long and luxurious, like a true opportunity to get rejuvenated for the […]
Weekend Notes
Morning, friends! It’s a sunshine-y weekend here in Austin, and we’ve been filling it with hours in the pool, lots of giggles, breakfast tacos, and poké bowls. I couldn’t be more thankful to be spending this Mother’s Day with the little humans I love most, and they’ve been showering me with extra hugs (and a […]
Weekend Notes
Morning, friends! I still have a perma-smile plastered on my face after yesterday’s #GetHealthyGetTogether we hosted here in Austin. It was pretty unbelievable to see that many women working out and connecting with each other, and scrolling through the hashtag this morning left me speechless – and so thankful for the amazing community we get to […]
Weekend Notes
Morning, friends! I’m feeling pretty amazing this morning after nailing my first night of solid sleep in a few weeks; between lots of travel, late-night events, and Henry suddenly deciding to revert to multiple nightly wake-ups, good sleep has been elusive lately. But last night we went to bed early, and the stars aligned for a […]
How to Take a Vacation That’s Actually Relaxing
Your bags are packed, auto-responder turned on, and the countdown to that long-awaited vacation has begun; it’s true that there’s nothing like a summertime getaway to inspire major excitement. But sometimes my intentions to unplug and truly relax don’t quite pan out, i.e. those times when I feel like I need a vacation to destress […]
Weekend Notes
Good morning from sunny LA! I flew in yesterday to kickoff an exciting project that I can’t wait to tell you guys all about (soon!) but in the meantime, Chanel and I have managed to squeeze in a ridiculous amount of fun and amazing meals already. We snagged an invite to the garden party celebrating […]
The Worst Advice We’ve Ever Found on Pinterest
We all love finding inspiration on Pinterest, especially those great quotes and motivational thoughts that seem cosmically meant to come into your feed (thank you, Coco Chanel.) But every now and then we come across advice that seems… well, a bit questionable. Here at Team CS, we gleefully file those away on a shared secret […]
Weekend Notes
Happy weekend, y’all! It’s been sunny and gorgeous here in Austin, and we spent yesterday soaking it up on the golf course at PGA’s WGC-Dell Match Play Championship. It was my first golf tournament ever and we had a total blast — I posted all about the day on my Insta stories, and am now totally wanting to […]
How to Find Your Niche and Get Paid For It
Not sure when exactly it happened, but recently, I’ve been referred to as an OG blogger. It’s true that when I started the site almost 8 years ago, lifestyle blogging still felt a bit like the wild west; we were experimenting and trying out new ways of creating content just because it made us happy — I had no idea […]
Weekend Notes
Morning, friends! It’s been a couple weeks since our last edition of Weekend Notes — if you’ve been following on Insta, you’ve seen that things have been a little SXSW crazy around here and it’s been a constant juggle of work and kids and festival. Yesterday was the grand finale, and we soaked up the sunshine, […]
