Few categories of beauty products instill fear in women in quite the same way as peels. I doubt any of us have forgotten that painful episode of Sex and the City in which Samantha gets an in-office peel and spends the rest of the episode with a face that resembles something like raw hamburger meat.

For as long as I can remember — at least since grade school — I’ve struggled with my weight. I deleted that sentence at least seven times and almost left it out completely, but I’m confident many of you can relate. It’s an embarrassing confession, and it’s filled with a lot of shame and bad […]

I almost feel like it’s cheating to do another “caprese” recipe, because let’s face it: ANYTHING you stuff with tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella is going to be delicious. But when I made these charred eggplants the other night for dinner, they were so ridiculously easy (in addition to being delish) that I knew I […]
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 […]
Window treatments are the kind of thing that have a huge effect on a space, but may not necessarily be the first thing you notice upon entering a room. When it came time to select our window treatments for #CSBungalow, we were working within a pretty specific set of needs: we wanted them to offer […]
January is one of our favorite months at Team CS because we have time to dive deep into headier topics like mindfulness and personal goals. With 2017 firmly in the rear view mirror, we thought it would be fun to use our first day back in the office to define our resolutions for the new […]
Hi guys! Today I’m super excited to kickoff a new series called I’m Addicted To. I’m always discovering cool tech gadgets, new favorite recipes, life-changing podcasts and books, and of course beauty products that quickly become essentials, and when I do… I want to share them with everyone I know (including you!) SO, today’s post is the […]
If you caught this post from a few weeks ago, you know that amidst the holiday madness, our team has been taking time out this season to participate in HP‘s #ReinventGiving holiday campaign. When we moved into the #CSBungalow, we were reminded of what a huge impact our surroundings have on our mental and emotional state, […]
Around the holidays, adding a handmade touch to the table feels especially in keeping with the sentimental vibe of the season. Crafting your own place cards or centerpieces adds a wonderfully personal touch to the table — and they’re likely to become keepsakes, carefully unpacked year after year. For the holiday dinner party we threw […]
This month is overflowing with holiday parties, wrapping up work projects, and Christmas shopping for my friends and family. And while others may go a little crazy when they catch sight of their to-do lists, I say bring it on — ’tis the season! A few days ago I was in a hurry to find the […]
Most of the parties we host at our house are as casual as it gets: thirty minutes in, everyone’s kicked off their shoes (and usually jumped in the pool).
