Last week we caught up with food and travel writer Deana Saukam while she was visiting friends in Austin. It was so much fun hanging with this fun group of girls and watching them work together to make Deana’s DIY dumplings. When I say these scallop and garlic chive blossom wontons were good, I mean […]
Keep it cool, y’all.
Step 2: Chill.
Hey hey from beautiful Colorado! I’m here for a long weekend at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen – hitting up chef demos, foodie parties, and balancing allll the eating and drinking with the most gorgeous hiking on the planet. Be sure you’re following along for lots of updates and exclusive behind-the-scenes fun with […]
Admittedly, I’ve become a little bit obsessed with natural skin care over the past couple of years. I’m actually less motivated by the fact that these “clean” products are healthier for me (although that is definitely a huge factor), than the fact that I simply find them to be more pleasant to use and more […]
Happy summer weekend! The official first day of summer may not be for a few more weeks, but as far as I’m concerned, Memorial Day kicks off all the summer vibes I need to wholeheartedly embrace it. It’s an extra special one around here, as I became an aunt for the first time yesterday! My […]
I cringe at the thought of my high school skincare routine. I was (shocking for a future beauty editor) obsessed with products and tried different things all the time. Like many teenagers, I was convinced that I needed strong scrubs and bracing toners to clear up breakouts. If it’s not burning a little, then it’s […]
It’s hard to believe I’ve been running a business for 10 years. Some days I still feel like a total rookie (what’s a form 1099 again?), and then I have a coffee chat with a recent college grad or speak on a panel at Create & Cultivate, and realize that I’ve learned quite a bit […]
featured photo via urban outfitters It seems like nowadays (on Instagram, at least) all of the girls are gaga for fall. They’re all longing for sweater weather and hot coffees and “coziness.” Not me, friend. Because you know what comes after fall? That long, interminable season known as winter. Fall is just the precursor to […]
If “beach movie” can actually be considered a genre, it’s one that’s always been laden with throwaways. From 1964’s Muscle Beach Party to 2017’s Rip Tide, it seems that every decade has seen it’s share of wash ups. That said, sometimes there’s simply no cure for the cold weather blues better than a good beach movie. […]
A trend that I’ve been loving in makeup over the past year is the emphasis on the complexion. Gone are the days where it’s all about a “statement eye” or “statement lip”—these days, it’s all about showing off and enhancing your skin’s beautiful tone and texture. Of course, most of us need a little bit […]
featured photo by kristen kilpatrick One of my goals for 2018 is to practice slowing down when I get home from a grinding work day. Specifically, disconnecting from my phone, television, computer, camera… basically anything with a screen. I’m learning to leave work at the office, and cherish everyday moments with my family. What do […]
