It is the holy grail of makeup — that “I’m not wearing makeup” makeup look. Martha Lynn here, and I personally have always had to fight dark circles around my eyes, so you can be sure that on any given day I have some sort of concealer on. In fact, I think it was my quest for […]
David Ogilvy, “The Father of Advertising,” once said: Hire people who are better than you are… Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine. As we’ve grown over the last year, I’m learning more and more how crucial that is — and how important it is to surround ourselves […]
Some days just beg you to get outdoors, don’t they? We’ve been having an unusually warm winter here, and it has a lot of people complaining about the record high temps during what are supposed to be the chillier months. But honestly: we live in Southern California… winter is not part of the deal. Personally, I’m […]
Do you guys have a Super Bowl food tradition? Maybe a chili bar with all the toppings, burgers on the grill, or that perennial football favorite, chicken wings? If I had my pick of all the traditional game day grub, I’d personally pass on the greasiness and go straight for the TACOS – that perfect […]

Happy weekend, lovelies! Back home from Salt Lake City where I spoke at Alt Summit, and it was such an event-packed whirlwind that I really don’t know where to begin. So, let’s start with a little game of “highs & lows,” shall we? High. Co-hosting Minted’s Wednesday night bash and getting to meet so many […]
Can you guys believe that there’s only a week left in January? It feels like the first month of 2014 completely flew by, and I would guess that somewhere around this time is when the enthusiasm for our New Years resolutions begins to slowly fizzle out. In an effort to keep the fire burning and […]
Jerusalem Artichokes — also known as sunchokes — are one of the vegetables I get most excited about when Fall comes, and in the next few weeks they’ll reach their peak. They’re so delicious when roasted with a little olive oil and sea salt, and when I have time to spend in the kitchen, they […]
I’ve been known to host the occasional blow-out at my place, and since I don’t have nearly enough glassware to accommodate 30+ guests (nor the time to make runs to the rental company!), I frequently opt to use single-use recyclable cups. Typically I love the clean look of regular clear plastic ware, but when I […]
Girl crush. Lifestyle envy. Insane style. All of these hashtags and more apply to the uber-talented Sarah Yates, the chef/photographer behind the super foodie column here on the blog. Her cool minimalist California style makes her blog, A House in the Hills, one of our absolute favorites to read. Today she’s breaking down her essentials […]
Even if you’re not a Broncos or Seahawks fan, chances are you’re not going to let The Super Bowl pass you by without celebrating the big game. I’m a fan of just about any excuse to get together and party with friends, so you can bet that come next Sunday, I’ll be eyes-glued to a […]
I’ve got to admit that my weekend stomach bug put a bit of a hiccup in my recent detox efforts — there’s just something about being in recovery mode that makes me want to eat nothing but slice after slice of buttered toast (hello, gluten!) Thankfully, I’m back in the saddle and loving the taste […]
