Should You Be Strength Training?

There are a few things in life I know so well that I could easily navigate with my eyes closed: the Whole Foods rosé section, my childhood neighborhood, Neiman Marcus’ makeup department, and the 3-mile loop around Lady Bird Lake. And then there are those things that immediately elicit my famous “uh, what?” face (as […]

Are Weddings Getting Totally Out of Hand?

First off, full disclaimer: I love weddings. I’m just that type of girl. (I may or may not be the type of girl who has a secret stash of Martha Weddings dating back to the late nineties… but I’ll leave you to ponder that.) But as much as I’ve adored being included in so many […]

Weekend Notes

As I type this I’m savoring a rare quiet Saturday afternoon: Phoebe and Henry are both napping, leaving me to satisfy a serious urge to bake with this strawberry-almond cake that’s been on my list for awhile. It’s currently in the oven and the scent in my kitchen is making me ridiculously hungry… I’ll let […]

What’s the Skinny on Bone Broth?

We’re all familiar with the old adage that soup is good medicine, but lately it seems that broth, specifically bone broth, is getting all the attention. You can’t read the NY Times or turn on NPR or the television without hearing a story touting bone broth’s miraculous healing powers for skin, nails, hair and overall […]

How to Take Your Kids on an Adventure

Emily Meyer is one inspirational lady, and it’s not just for the obvious reasons. Sure, she co-founded Tea Collection — an award-winning children’s clothing line that’s inspired by global cultures and modern design (and is ethically sourced!). And yeah, she’s a wife and mother to two adorable kids — Clement (age 6) and Georgia (age 4). But […]

Do You Always Wear Sunscreen?

The Right answer: I’m religious about slathering on my SPF 50 every day, rain or shine, regularly reapplying at 3 hour intervals and after getting out of the pool. Plus, I always wear a hat with a big brim to keep all those rays off my face! We’ve only got once chance to protect our skin, […]

Comedienne

photographed by belathée • shot on location at the virgil in los angeles To be alone onstage with nothing but a microphone, quick wit, and cool set of nerves as your weapons… I can’t think of anything more terrifying. But for stand up comic, filmmaker, and actress Ashley Barnhill, there’s nothing more exhilarating. The up-and-coming […]

Weekend Notes

Happy long weekend, darlings! The forecast is calling for a grey, rainy Memorial Day around here, but I don’t mind: all we have on the agenda is hunkering down with our new babe, visiting with family and friends who stop by, and probably binge-ing on our latest HBO addiction, Veep. This first week with Henry has […]

10 Timesaving Post-Grocery Store Tips

For most of us, half the battle of clean eating lies is making sure that healthy food is always conveniently close at hand. Let’s face it: when we’re craving an afternoon snack, we’re probably not going to wash and cut veggies for a salad when it’s so much easier to reach for the cupcakes sitting on the counter. […]

Hey, Baby!

Just popping in to say that Henry Neil Moore has arrived! I went into labor right on my due date, and we welcomed our (8 lb 11 oz!) baby into the world on Sunday. He has already brought so much joy into our lives over these last 3 days, and we’re looking forward to a couple of […]

Have Healthy Breakfasts Gone Too Far?

A couple of weeks ago, I had a business meeting at a coffee shop and decided to order scrambled eggs with buttered toast. Such a simple, satisfying breakfast, right? Yet while I sat eating it, I started feeling this nagging sense that maybe I should be fueling up with something a little… cleaner. Visions of kale smoothies, avocado on […]
