WHAT'S AHEAD // FEBRUARY 2020


A PEEK AT WHAT'S COMING UP THIS MONTH AT RUNWAY CHEF HQ


BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

Editor’s Note // And just like that we’re already one full month into 2020. Yet somehow, it kind of feels like the year is just getting go, like January was the practice month, the warm-up for the rest of the year. Or is that just me…trying to cover for the fact that I’m just now getting my first post of 2020 up on the site? You know what they say, though…better late than never. So, if you’re like me and haven’t quite gotten started on your plans for the year, or you’ve been taking a little extra time to get into the swing of things, that’s ok. Rest and down time is ok. In fact, it’s more than ok. It’s NEEDED. And besides, who makes the rules around here anyways? Who says goals have to kick off on January 1st instead of April 17th? Who says January has to be a month of hustle instead of a month of rest? Spoiler alert: no one, not one single person ever, has said these things. Yet, we create these “rules” in our heads, and somehow think if we do anything else, we’re failing.So here’s to February and breaking rules and taking breaks and starting goals whenever you darn well please! xx

SOCIAL //

Every month we use Pinterest to help us design our monthly mood boards. These boards then act as our guide when it comes to shaping the direction and look of the content for the upcoming month. Peek our FEBRUARY BOARD to see what’s inspiring us this month {hint: love is in the air! But so is: cozy vibes, creamy whites and winter light!}.

WORK //

After taking some time to reflect, we’ve decided to temporarily cut back on collaborations and projects in order to focus on how we can use this platform to make the biggest impact in 2020. We’re also taking this time to lay down the ground work for upcoming endeavors that will allow us to actually make that impact. So, while work isn’t slowing down by any means, most of this month’s happenings are behind-the-scenes things that you won’t be seeing {at least immediately}. But don’t worry, in the mean time, you’ll be getting to view lots of new articles and content here on the site!

LIFE //

We’ve been keeping travel to a minimum in order to put all the focus on our current chapter, setting up our house. However, we’ve still got a few small trips planned for the month {Houston + Austin, then Santa Barbara with family later this month}. All are places we’ve never been to so we’re that much more excited to check them out!

And speaking of the home front, we are slowly chipping away at projects to make our space feel less like a house and more like, well, a home. Goals for this month include setting up a composting corner, organizing our laundry room, finishing my closet + planning our outdoor space. Stay tuned for updates!
