Why am I assuming that your book club is, in fact, off track? Because it is. Has been for a while. Let’s face it — you haven’t met in months (and you spent most of the last meeting talking about Oscar screeners.) As millennial women, we’re consistently drawn to the idea of the bookclub without […]
If you’re into wellness trends, you’ve probably heard about the life-changing power of adaptogens. I recently started taking a couple of them in capsule form, and I’ve definitely noticed feeling more energetic and mentally sharp throughout the day, skipping right over the 2pm slump that always hit me post-lunch. Fans of adaptogens claim stress reduction, […]
The dating world seems to be evolving faster than ever, thanks to apps and a little thing called the internet. Spend a mere twelve months inside of a committed relationship and you’ll be at serious risk for falling out of touch with our ever-changing dating culture. If that’s you, don’t worry, we’ve got all the […]
featured image by Kristen Kilpatrick Let’s be honest, keeping up with trends can be tricky. Fresh and new may feel exciting, but it’s important to proceed with caution. The truth – plenty should be left on the runway, and knowing what’s worth trying-out is hard. Luckily bad fads fade, good ones cycle, and inevitably a […]
For as long as I can remember — at least since grade school — I’ve struggled with my weight. I deleted that sentence at least seven times and almost left it out completely, but I’m confident many of you can relate. It’s an embarrassing confession, and it’s filled with a lot of shame and bad […]
For regular readers, Timothy Corrigan needs no introduction. Our behind-the-scenes look into a holiday dinner party at his French chateau years ago is still buzzed about; his springtime al fresco lunch gave us total landscaping envy; and his casually elegant Easter brunch gave us a first glimpse into Timothy’s West Coast home. Oh, and as unofficial president of […]
Mackenzie Anne Smith is a woman after my own heart. What makes us kindred spirits, you ask? It’s simple: our shared belief that everything tastes better with a carby starchy doughy element. While I’ve perfected the art of eating things-stuffed-in-pastry (or, pocket foods as today’s guest would say) Mackenzie has mastered the art of actually making them on the […]
With seemingly endless products on the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when it comes to skincare. Here to help navigate the cosmetics aisle is Camille’s personal dermatologist, Elizabeth Geddes-Bruce. At Westlake Dermatology, Dr. Geddes-Bruce helps clients develop a custom skincare routine that’s perfectly suited to their unique skin. That said, she definitely believes that certain ingredients are universally […]
Let’s face it, February can be a real drag. The cold weather never seems to end, we’re completely OVER our winter wardrobes, and (for those of us without significant others) there’s always Valentine’s Day to give it the extra ouch. That’s why we’ve put together a solid list of what to do with your life […]
featured image by taylr anne I swear I’m an intelligent gal. But ask me what I did last weekend, or even what I ate for breakfast this morning, and it’s fairly unlikely I’ll have an answer. If I don’t write something down, I won’t remember to do it. I also once thought that my car […]
My friend Walter makes the best bread I’ve ever tasted. He grows the yeast, mills the flour, and combines it all with salt and water to create a slow-fermented sourdough that truly doesn’t belong in the same category as the pre-sliced quick breads found in grocery stores. A loaf doesn’t last longer than a day […]
Maybe it’s the un-PC nature of our biological clocks, or just good old-fashioned societal pressure, but it seems that women are especially susceptible to timelined expectations in life. Many of us want to achieve status in our dream jobs by 30, be married with multiple kids by 35, sell the company by 40… etc, etc. […]
