Sunshine and Saturdays are two of our favorite things. So when you put those together and add in hundreds of our Austin readers, well, we’d call that a pretty great day. This past weekend we all met up at The Long Center for a morning barre class with MOD Fitness, a relaxing meditation led by Kate […]
Click here for the 2017 #CSCleanse Menu, Recipes, & Shopping List! Last year’s inaugural CS Cleanse was such a hit that I’ve had friends asking me on a near-weekly basis when we’ll be doing another one. Well, the time has come! This season always makes us want to lighten things up a bit, and there’s […]
With Mother’s Day falling right at the beginning of Summer, I’ll be the first to admit that in the past I’ve been guilty of letting the warm weather distract me from doing right by mama. Thinking up the perfect gift and planning a memorable day can be daunting, so this year our advice is: Don’t overthink it! Getting together […]
It seems like lately, breakfast itself is a “trend,” with chefs from coast-to-coast (and even here in Austin) flexing their creative muscle at the first meal of the day — and the blogosphere is equally obsessed. On my last trip to LA, it felt like every meal presented me with options that were vegan, heirloom, adaptogenic, […]
Why wait for Memorial Day? Here at the CS office, we say summer starts on May 5, and Cinco de Mayo may be our all-time favorite holiday. We’ll do anything for a mouth-watering margarita on a warm spring day, and can’t get enough of Mexican-inspired ruffled tops and embroidered blouses. After hearing about Jenn’s recent vacation to Hotel […]
Two weeks ago I had the most magical dinner at a restaurant called Hierbabuena in Todos Santos, Mexico. The baja peninsula region is arid and desert-like, surrounded by water. The quiet Sea of Cortez is to the east, with the harsh waves of the Pacific to the west. After the long, bumpy, incredibly dusty drive to the property […]
Equal parts warmth and high style.
Morning, friends! I’m feeling pretty amazing this morning after nailing my first night of solid sleep in a few weeks; between lots of travel, late-night events, and Henry suddenly deciding to revert to multiple nightly wake-ups, good sleep has been elusive lately. But last night we went to bed early, and the stars aligned for a […]
Your bags are packed, auto-responder turned on, and the countdown to that long-awaited vacation has begun; it’s true that there’s nothing like a summertime getaway to inspire major excitement. But sometimes my intentions to unplug and truly relax don’t quite pan out, i.e. those times when I feel like I need a vacation to destress […]
When it comes to hair, it seems that we often want what we don’t have. Here in the CS office, the straight-haired girls among us pump up our locks with dry shampoo, while those with natural curls are always looking for ways to fight the frizz. The one constant is that our hair is undoubtedly […]
It’s practically a law that every woman should have a little black dress in her closet, but I think a white lace-y one also deserves must-have status. While sometimes considered a delicate piece reserved for special occasions, by styling your frock with laid-back jackets or casual shoes, you can achieve a variety of different looks. Pair it with a […]
One of the complaints I hear most from my single friends is that they feel completely unmotivated to cook for one. And then when the mood does strike, they find themselves over-shopping, resulting in unused groceries that go to waste altogether. I’ve totally been there, and I get it. So we thought we’d whip up a […]
