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 […]
Swimsuit season is upon us, and with it comes a special sort of terror for those who suffer from chest and back acne. But don’t worry — there’s still time to clear this pesky issue up before summer. We met up with Dr. Rachel Gordon, a dermatologist at North Dallas Dermatology, to talk about what […]
Adam spills his secrets.
The countdown to summer has begun, and I consider Memorial Day weekend to be the official kickoff. This year, since my birthday happens to fall the day after, we’re inviting friends for a dinner party on the back patio with food coming straight off the grill and a “bare feet required” dress code. When our […]
Editor’s note: We love Libbie Summers. She entertains without inhibition, plates with whimsy, and today, she’s cooking with creativity. Behold, her seven (yes, seven!) salad recipes — one for each color of the rainbow, and each of them healthy and delicious! From Libbie: My mom loves flowers. As a child, I would bring her bouquets of […]
We talk quite a bit around here about cleaning up our social media habits in order to be more present, healthy, and not fall prey to the rabbit hole of the endless scroll. But during a recent 48-hour “digital detox” (more on that soon), I realized how much of my mental energy is also consumed […]

photographed by chanel dror Let’s be honest: there’s really no wrong way to combine these ingredients. But by slicing sweet potato thinly and roasting it to a crisp, I served up a veggie-filled snack that was easy, fun, and a healthier alternative to everyone’s favorite avocado toast. As if I needed more sweet potato in […]
For me, an afternoon snack needs to be two things: crunchy and salty! I browsed Pinterest until I found my perfect healthy snack recipe to try — this one for rosemary and basil zucchini chips. I put my own twist on the recipe by using thyme instead of rosemary and basil, and also made some […]
photos by kristen kilpatrick So far, my thirties have been all about discovering balance, trying new things, and finding deeper levels of inner confidence — in other words, the best decade of my life so far. That said, my birthday next month marks the move from “early” to “mid,” and it’s officially not too early to […]
It’s hard to describe life in Austin without mentioning tacos. The two are basically inseparable, and since it’s not out-of-the-question that I might start a day with breakfast tacos and end it with fajitas, you could say that I’ve gotten pretty good at putting fresh twists on the classics so that my taco habit never […]
