If I’m eating lunch at my desk, most days it looks something like this: a healthy grain like quinoa or farro leftover from last night’s dinner, plus whatever cooked veggies I have on hand, some raw greens and usually some chopped up avocado because, let’s face it: avocado makes everything better. A sprinkle of herbs, […]
What happened to the days when slapping on some sunscreen at the beach once or twice was sufficient? When most of us were growing up, that was generally the attitude toward sun protection; a coating once a day or so was more than enough, and if you ended the day with slightly pink cheeks? No […]
If you happened to check out our post from last Friday, you saw our fun analysis of what our pinterest boards really say about us. Tons of beach and travel-inspired images mean you’re fun-loving, adventurous, easily bored, curious, a dreamer, and a child-at-heart. I definitely fall squarely into that category and I’ve got the pinterest […]
I have to admit that I’d been feeling a little “off” this week — just kind of down-in-the-dumps for no other reason than possibly hormones and tiredness. Yesterday I decided that I refused to waste a gorgeous summer Saturday by being in a bad mood, so I put my to-do list on hold and spent the day splashing […]
A common phrase I hear when people talk about decorating their homes is “I want it to look like a hotel.” I can relate, I’ve spent years making my bed as big, white and fluffy as I can; one that I can collapse into at the end of a long day. Hotels can feel so luxurious […]
Next up in our #SipsForSummer series is this to-die-for Spicy Paloma that Ashley Rose from Sugar & Cloth created. I can’t wait ’til the clock strikes 5 today so I can let get this happy hour rolling. I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of cocktails with a spicy kick! Don’t miss […]
My family is pretty understanding about my food obsessions. After all, they are the happy beneficiaries of some pretty great meals, so they don’t complain when I map our travel according to farmers’ market schedules and restaurant hours. We’ve taken some epic road trips and loved every bite along the way. This summer, I think […]
Sustainable water bottles are so in right now. Not sure I ever thought I’d say those words aloud, but it’s true! I still have to convince myself to to lug around a jug of H2O in order to stay hydrated, though you’d think the health benefits alone would be enough to convince me to consume more water on […]
When stylist and salon owner Rory McNeill first told us about “balayage” highlights, we were skeptical. Isn’t that just, like, another buzz name for the same regular ol’ highlights we’ve been getting for years? We visited Rory at ROAR Salon to discover that (happily) we couldn’t be more wrong. Balayage highlights are actually a legitimately new […]
Move over Rosé, there’s a new summer wine on the scene. It’s a bold claim, we know, but ever since our recent Riesling tasting a few weeks ago, every member of our team is a total convert. Sure, it could have been the picturesque scene at Jeffrey’s that had us feeling fuzzy, or the guidance of […]
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my new favorite summer dish… and if you’re a lover of refreshing, amazing seasonal produce, I get the feeling it’s going to be yours too. Inspired by a dish served at one of my most beloved neighborhood Mexican joints, this avocado carpaccio, in its essence, is really just a […]
