11 Romantic Gift Ideas For Your Valentine

As someone who loves Love, making romantic plans for V-Day is always a favorite activity of mine. But what to get the Valentine who seemingly has everything? Especially since the perfect gift for this occasion should be thoughtful, not overly extravagant, and something the recipient wouldn’t normally buy for themselves.

How to Keep Romance Alive

I’ve never talked much about my own love story on the blog — not for any particular reason, it just never seemed that relevant. Which is funny, since meeting Adam was a defining moment of my life and one of the very best things that’s ever happened to me. We met at work and got […]

Get Glowing Brunch

I’m really feeling the no-makeup makeup look these days — a natural, easygoing routine feels so right this season and fits my current schedule of going straight from working out -> work -> lunch with a friend -> preschool pickup. Of course, a prereq to pulling off this look is healthy, glowing skin, so I’ve […]

Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl

I’ve been dying to share this recipe ever since we got back from Hawaii a couple months ago — there seems to be a poke bowl (pronounced “poh-ké”) on the menu at just about every restaurant in Maui, and since I sampled so many of them throughout the trip, it took me a little while […]

Weekend Notes

It’s been a big week for our team… mostly because Chanel got engaged!!! Her boyfriend Eric popped the question on Friday and we all celebrated maybe a little too late last night. Chanel has been my righthand woman behind the blog for the past 5 years (I hired her as my first ever intern when she […]

9 Healthy Ingredient Swaps You Need to Know

I’m willing to bet that there are at least a couple of healthy ingredient substitutions in the chart above that you didn’t know about. Am I right?

I make mine with bananas, spinach, cacao, and almond butter, and Chanel […]

Weekend Notes

How do I love thee, Sundays? Let me count the ways… waking up without my alarm, time for cooking experiments and kids’ craft projects, motivation to tackle an organizational project. And then there’s brunch. I love days like this for their sheer unhurriedness — I think that such careful scheduling of my time during the […]

How to Create an Authentic Personal Brand

If you cringe a tiny bit when you hear the phrase “personal brand,” I hear ya — it’s a buzzword that can feel a bit phony, especially when tossed around the social media-sphere the way it often is lately. But when you get to the root of what a personal brand really is (don’t worry, we’ll […]

What Type of Videos Would You Like to See?

Hey peeps, we’ve been working on some really cool video projects that I can’t wait to share here soon. It’s the first time we’ve concepted and produced our own videos strictly for the blog — people have been asking us for ages why we didn’t do video, but I had to find a personally compelling enough […]

Caramelized Grape Tartine

Sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy — all the things a great appetizer should be! I love experimenting with snack-y bites to serve before dinner parties, and the two main requirements (aside from being delicious) are that they must take 5 minutes or less to make and require no more than a handful of ingredients.  These caramelized […]

Weekend Notes

10 Best Pre-Workout Snacks

When it comes to pre-workout snacks, I have a few requirements: a good mix of protein and carbs for energy, […]

*photography by Kristen Kilpatrick Between recovering from the holidays and just-trying-to-stay-warm, hosting a dinner party may not be at the top of your to-do list this time of year.

Our Wellness Makeover

Aside from being the first day back in the office in 2016, it’s an especially exciting day around here: our team has been working on a few big updates, and we’re pretty thrilled to finally share what’s new. But first, some background. For the past year or so, I’ve been pushing myself to step back and take a […]

Be Present, Be Merry

Merry Christmas, friends! This time of year always makes me so sentimental about how quickly time passes — maybe it’s because there are so many memories wrapped up in the holidays that I find myself trying to grasp onto every little moment that happens and take a snapshot in my mind, knowing that I’ll turn around and this time […]
