Recently I listened to the most inspiring podcast interview with Elle Macpherson in which she shared her approach to wellness and how she stays as beautiful as ever by taking care of both her physical and mental health. Ever since, I’ve been dying to get my hands on her Super Elixir Alkalising Greens, so I was thrilled when […]
I was inspired to create today’s recipe, thanks to a run-in with some especially lackluster pie dough. Actually, several lackluster pies, filled with some of the tastiest, freshest fillings I’ve ever had, but surrounded by under-baked, flavorless, dry crust. The worst, right?! As I indulged in a slice of one of these said pies (we’ll leave […]
Equal parts warmth and high style.
As we emerge from a long (way too long, right?) winter, I for one have my complexion on my mind—specifically, how to get the appearance of health back after the cold, dark days stole my skin’s mojo. My regimen has consisted of adding a face oil under my day lotion, upping my water intake, and, […]
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 […]
*photos by ashleigh amoroso The excitement is still going strong after last week’s announcement about my new gig as Target’s entertaining expert, and we’re kicking things off today with the inspiration behind the spring brunch we hosted together in LA — and of course, all the tips and shopping sources you need to recreate the […]
When interior designer Allison Crawford returned from a recent birthday spent in Paris, she couldn’t wait to invite her best girlfriends over to share all the highlights from the trip. Allison’s downtown Austin loft apartment is a lot like her designs — bright, sophisticated, with a healthy dose of seventies glam. We met up with Allison and […]
What I’ve learned from every biography I’ve ever read and TED Talk I’ve ever watched, is that creating new habits and meeting goals is all about the setbacks. There will always be missteps, but the key is to get back up, not be too self-critical (that one’s hard) and try again. If you’re with the […]
Badass moms, unite.
These flourless pistachio cakes are proof that not all gluten-free baking has to be complicated. Even as an avid baker with a healthy knowledge of baking ratios and substitutions, I often find gluten-free recipes to be intimidating, requiring expensive specialty ingredients that yield inconsistent results. To those of you who have tackled gluten-free baking head-on […]
Not sure when exactly it happened, but recently, I’ve been referred to as an OG blogger. It’s true that when I started the site almost 8 years ago, lifestyle blogging still felt a bit like the wild west; we were experimenting and trying out new ways of creating content just because it made us happy — I had no idea […]
As annoying as it is to see my makeup disappear as the day goes on, I have to admit that “super-long-wearing” makeup usually doesn’t appeal to me. On one hand, I’m a little suspicious of the chemicals that the product contains to essentially stain the skin (they can’t be that healthy, can they?)—but besides for […]
