I’ve often scoffed at the phrase, “I’m going on a juice cleanse.” Mostly because those who were giving it a go were doing so as penance for an indulgent weekend or a fast solution to a larger problem. While there is something to be said for the need to reset the mind — or despite my disdain […]
First, we fell in love with this jaw-droppingly gorgeous home we kept spotting all over Pinterest. Then, we developed a total girl crush on Ashley, the gal behind that amazing home and her lifestyle site, Hither & Thither, brimming with inspiring photography, design, food and travel tales, all with an undeniable focus on family. Ashley and her husband, Aron, […]

I love the feeling of waking up on New Year’s Day, full of renewed energy and hope for what lies ahead… and then, of course, promptly sitting down to one very delicious brunch. There really is no better way to kick off a brand new year than with good food and a toast or two with old […]
For most of the year our homes function pretty routinely, but during the holidays, they take on so many extra responsibilities. You may bake more cookies this month than the rest of the year combined, host your extended family under your roof, or throw an epic New Year’s eve bash. Since your home is multi-tasking, it’s imperative that your furniture and decor […]
We love featuring the creative folks who work to cultivate beauty in the everyday experience, and the girl behind Trouvé magazine is certainly one of them. Amanda Marko, designer and publisher of Trouvé, created this bi-annual magazine to “celebrate the creative lifestyle and those who live it.” Amanda does everything herself, from production and design to packaging and shipping, […]
Francis Ford Coppola’s grandmother, Maria Zasa, spoke four languages – English, Italian, Arabic and French and with each sip of wine she would offer a toast, “À votre Santé” – to your health. Today, Grandma Zasa Coppola’s memory, and her celebration of family and togetherness, is honored with Coppola’s Votre Santé collection of wine. Inspired by […]
Like many of you, I’m dashing through this week: tying up loose ends at work, finishing up holiday shopping and making my rounds at all the holiday parties. Add in running, bike rides and squeezing in every pilates class I can, and essentially every second of every day is spoken for until I get to […]
With all the Christmas cookies and treats going around, now is the time to start the day on a lighter note. This yogurt cup is almost entirely healthy with just a hint of spiced decadence (it is the holidays, after all!) This makes the perfect pairing for chai tea and gift-wrapping. Happy holidays!

There’s no doubt that hosting during the holiday season is a learned skill that gets better with practice. I’ll never forget the first Christmas bash I attempted to throw singlehandedly — I was way too ambitious with the labor-intensive food, the detailed decor, the guest list and the gifts, and the hours leading up to the event can only […]
In the past 5 days, I’ve been in Virginia, Atlanta, and Dallas… and today I’m headed back to Austin to luxuriate in several weeks of being at home, enjoying the holidays with family, finally wrapping all my gifts, catching up with girl friends who I’ve totally neglected during my book tour, and probably baking one […]
