To help get you all ready to say “Hello!” to Spring we’ve teamed up with two of my favorite brands, The Chalkboard Mag/Pressed Juicery and Splendid, to host a super fun and easy Pinterest giveaway! The grand prize: A Pressed Juicery 3 day cleanse (you know you need it after those long months of winter!), […]
Hey bookworms! It’s been awhile since our last On My Nightstand, and in the meantime I’ve built up quite a list of recommendations that I’ve been dying share with you guys. From an indulgent cookbook to a tome on wellness eating to the latest memoir from a favorite funnywoman, there are some real gems in this month’s collection that’ll […]
Whether you’ve been struggling with skin problems for years, or are just trying to get a leg up on aging, there’s no doubt that most of us spend more time (and money!) on our skincare regimens than we care to admit. After my own decade-and-a-half long battle, my complexion finally mellowed out — and the answer wasn’t sitting […]
So far, this pregnancy has been easier and much less fraught-with-nerves than my first go-round. There’s no doubt that actually having a baby is the best crash-course in all things parenting, and nowhere is this more true than with feeding a baby, which for many women can be wonderful, frustrating, and sometimes even a source of guilt or anxiety. […]
Happy weekend, friends! What’s on all of your agendas? Today’s post is predictably up a little later due to day light savings — which I, for one, am actually really excited about since it means an extra hour of light in the evenings, and a hint at the end of the long dark days of […]
The more conversations I have with my girlfriends, the more I realize: women are natural worriers. We worry about little things (I woke up at 2am last night with my mind racing about the wood floors we’re getting installed!) and the big things (families, health, job security… the list goes on.) However unpleasant it might […]
Fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. This is especially true in the case of vegetarian chef, blogger and cookbook author, Amy Chaplin. As a young girl growing up in rural Australia, she enjoyed fresh vegetables straight from her family’s garden while learning the joys of cooking alongside her mother. “My Mother loved hosting large parties […]
Maybe it’s because this preggers girl is having sushi withdrawals, but lately, I’ve been craving lots of light, healthy fish dishes with spicy Asian flavors. Inspired by the teriyaki-glazed salmon I’ve ordered at more than one great restaurant, I set out to recreate my own version in a dinner party-worthy entrée that’s easy to prep at home […]
I’ll never forget my first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend: we had only been dating a few months, and as rather unenlightened wee things we got dolled up and trekked to the “nicest” restaurant in town. There, we joined seemingly every other couple in Austin to find our white tablecloth covered table adorned with a tight […]
ed note: Though January is drawing to a close, our team is still working hard on our resolutions and focusing on making small changes to improve our surroundings. For many of us, the areas most in need of TLC are in our homes, or more specifically, our well-loved kitchens. So we turned to fellow Austinite, wellness enthusiast, and co-founder […]
You know that girl — the one in your facebook feed with impossibly good hair. In EVERY photo. She automatically seems more confident, more successful, and more put-together, because our hair has such a big impact on our overall appearance. Thick, shiny, richly hued hair is a symbol of youth and health, so there’s no […]
Morning! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far. These last couple days have been our first days of sunshine in a long time, so yesterday involved sitting on multiple restaurant patios: first with Adam and Phoebe devouring breakfast tacos, then later with my friend Erika, catching up over green juices at Whole Foods. Hoping […]
