Surprise! Acne can creep back into your life just like Dawson’s Creek does with a summer of reruns… except this is one show you definitely don’t want to relive. “While the exact numbers are unknown, it appears the incidence of adult acne is rising,” says Camille’s personal dermatologist, Elizabeth Geddes-Bruce. At Westlake Dermatology, Dr. Geddes-Bruce is seeing […]
Last week, Phoebe and I headed to Houston to celebrate Fourth of July early with our friends at Target, along with a fun group of blogger and editors – and their kids! We decked out this rooftop spot as the ultimate summer picnic: think bright colors and patterns, food fresh off the grill, and a do-it-yourself snow […]
in partnership with Blue Diamond Almonds // photos by kristen kilpatrick One of the best nights of my life started and ended with this panna cotta. It was time for our cooking class at the villa we rented in Tuscany last month, and after pouring the Chianti and turning up the music, Giuseppina showed our group how to […]
We’ve been major fan girls of Rui Nakata’s food-filled Instagram feed for a while, so when we realized she lives right down the street from us in Austin, we knew we had to snag a seat at one of her famous backyard dinner parties. Rui and her fiancé Anthony share a love for garden-to-table cooking (they grow their […]
When we teamed up with Stubb’s BBQ to create a Fourth of July gathering that’s all about the best Texas-style brisket, I knew just who to call: Jeff Trucksess is known as the grill master among our friends, and I’ve been pestering him for ages about spilling his secrets on the blog. A few of us […]
Happy weekend, friends! On Friday, my phone accidentally got run over by a car (seriously), so the last couple days have become an unintentional digital detox. I’ve got to admit, I’m thinking about making it a regular thing — it’s been so nice to not feel shackled to my phone, and to not give into […]
Since we kicked off the summer with our big trip to Italy, I’ll be mostly hanging out in Austin for the rest of these dog days. Not that I’m mad about it: to me, the beauty of this season is slower-paced days and weekends with little on the calendar besides swim, sun, and snow cones. Even […]
Last week, Phoebe announced that moving forward, she wanted to eat all her food skewered on a stick. And can you blame her? There’s something inherently more fun about veggies when they’re in kebab form, and as summertime grilling reaches its peak, I’ve been experimenting with skewering just about everything, from corn to brussels sprouts […]
Earlier this year, I did an “edit” on my Instagram feed and whittled it down to only the accounts who truly inspire me. It’s been game-changing to be able to pick up my phone and get an immediate dose of beauty and creativity across style, travel, art, and wellness…and of course food! One of my very favorite […]
Happy Summer Sunday, friends! We dove headfirst in the work week after getting back from our Italy travels, and though I was so happy to be home, it was tough to get back in the swing of things work-wise. The weekend came just in the nick of time to provide us with the unscheduled carefree summer […]
This might come as a shock, but I loathe oatmeal. I know, I know: it’s staple breakfast and a great way to get some whole grains into your diet, but there’s just something about the goopy texture and flavor that I can’t get over. I’ve even given overnight oats a try and still no success in jumping on […]
