What happened to the days when slapping on some sunscreen at the beach once or twice was sufficient? When most of us were growing up, that was generally the attitude toward sun protection; a coating once a day or so was more than enough, and if you ended the day with slightly pink cheeks? No […]
Sustainable water bottles are so in right now. Not sure I ever thought I’d say those words aloud, but it’s true! I still have to convince myself to to lug around a jug of H2O in order to stay hydrated, though you’d think the health benefits alone would be enough to convince me to consume more water on […]

It’s here! the much-hyped Apple Watch finally landed on my front porch 3 weeks ago, and I’ve been (mostly) wearing it ever since. It’s really my first foray into wearable technology; Adam gifted me a Fitbit for Christmas a couple years ago, and I must not have really understood the strap mechanism since it fell […]
Summer is blazing by, and it’s made me realize that we’re a quarter-way through July and I still haven’t hosted a proper al fresco dinner party… shame! Granted, we have been experiencing a disproportionately rainy summer this year, but that’s still no excuse. Today’s refreshing party from Sophie Collins — what with its picturesque backyard setting, […]
Is it just me, or does it seem like almost every day is a “National Something Day”? Whether it’s a day dedicated to pizza or siblings, it seems like every day on the calendar now has its own social-media theme. I have to admit, I’m reluctant to get on board with most of these “insta-trends” […]

Taken a look at the calendar lately? It’s hard to believe how quickly this summer is racing by and that the Fourth of July is only 3 days away! The 4th is one of my favorite food days of the year, and I’ve been scouring my recipe files for ideas on what to toss on the grill (there’s still […]
When I was in my early twenties, I was already gripped with fear over aging. My religious application of anti-wrinkle cream every night definitely got some laughs at the sorority house. But when I looked to the movies, music, and pop culture surrounding me at the time the message was clear: the world belongs to […]
Gaby Dalkin is your quintessential California girl. From her sun-kissed complexion to her happy-go-lucky personality she positively radiates sunshine. I had the opportunity to meet her this year and after bonding about a shared love of California, Austin and Tim Riggins (Texas Forever!) I knew I couldn’t wait to feature her SoCal kitchen. Like a […]
Happy Monday, folks! Chanel here, dispatching from Tel Aviv where sea salt is in the air, fresh produce is filling the markets and the bougainvillea is in full bloom.
