Step one to being happier at home, live in this picture perfect Parisian walk up. But if step one isn’t an option, there are plenty of other ways to be happier in your home this year. Studies show that experiences have a longer lasting effect on our happiness than things do, so start by thinking about what experiences make […]
If you happened to catch our wellness makeover announcement earlier this month, then you already know we’re excited to approach 2016 with an overall focus on health and well-being. Taking a deeper look at our current content, we felt there was an important piece of overall wellness that was lacking: that of dating, love, and […]
Half-back looks are tricky — the danger being that barrettes can sometimes feel a bit juvenile. That said, we still love the feminine face-framing look of a good half-up ‘do. We consulted with senior stylist Erica Rae of ROAR Salon to learn her technique for wearing half-up hair that feels a lot more modern, and […]
How do I love thee, Sundays? Let me count the ways… waking up without my alarm, time for cooking experiments and kids’ craft projects, motivation to tackle an organizational project. And then there’s brunch. I love days like this for their sheer unhurriedness — I think that such careful scheduling of my time during the […]
If 2014 was the year I changed my life, 2015 was definitely the year I learned to change my perspective (and quit apologizing along the way). Reflecting on that had me wondering, “What will 2016 bring?” A confession before I dive further: I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions. The advertisements and overall messages shouting about […]
At some point over the last decade I did a one-eighty regarding my perspective on faux tanning… I can’t pinpoint the exact moment the shift occurred, but maybe it was when I picked up a copy of How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are. Or possibly when my remote made a most unfortunate stumble onto the […]
The Christmas decorations are packed away and although your feet might still be aching from the three weeks you spent tearing up dance floors, the confetti-flecked dust of the holiday season has finally settled. Time to take on the gorgeously blank canvas of a New Year! Of course with every January comes the same old […]
Well it seems we all survived the first full workweek of 2016, and I hope it was a great one for you! Things felt extra busy around here — we did a cool interiors shoot for an upcoming pub, launched a new video project that I can’t wait to share with y’all, and spent a […]
2015 was definitely the year of streamlining our wardrobes. It was near impossible to avoid articles about the capsule wardrobe, minimal styling and everything Konmari – we couldn’t get enough of getting rid of our clothes! But I predict 2016 will be the year we move from our wardrobes and focus on decluttering the home. And I […]
Aside from being the first day back in the office in 2016, it’s an especially exciting day around here: our team has been working on a few big updates, and we’re pretty thrilled to finally share what’s new. But first, some background. For the past year or so, I’ve been pushing myself to step back and take a […]
2016, are you ready? ‘Cause we’re coming for you. I woke up this morning with new adventures and uncharted territory in my gut, knowing that the next 365 days hold immeasurable potential if I choose to live each one to its fullest. Now, I know that “resolutions” have a lot of haters out there, and I […]
December 31st! Can you believe it?! It’s been an absolutely fabulous holiday season — one of the best yet, to be sure — but all of the wining, dining and non-stop celebrating has me feeling that I’ve perhaps hit my limit on holiday indulgences. I’m gearing up for some serious clean eating in January, but […]
