In yesterday’s post, I mentioned enjoying non-alcoholic beverages in cocktail glasses as a way to make them a little more enjoyable. As you can see, I took my own advice and enjoyed an iced coffee in a bougie beverage glass, because somehow, I don’t know how, but it truly makes it that much more exciting and that much more tasty!

New things for our home our slowly trickling there way in, and the latest arrival is our dining room chairs. I’m so thrilled with how they look and the quality and their arrival is making me even more anxious to get our dining room together. Now if only I could find a table I like….

I’ve had these ribbed leggings on my list to get ever since working with the brand last month. My size has been out of stock until last week, when I promptly added them to my cart and hit “Purchase”. I then just as promptly put them on when they arrived. So soft and comfy, and I will definitely not be taking these off anytime soon!

Last week, when we were shooting photos for this recipe, I couldn’t hep but notice how the light was hitting this spot, with the olive branches and a book, just right. And we all know by now that I will never pass up an opportunity to take a photo of a situation with a golden glow.

Last Friday, JuneShine, a San Diego based brand, sent over some of their hard kombucha, which we are big fans of. Not only do we love how they taste, but we also love all of the amazing sustainability initiatives that the brand takes. Also, if you live in California or Brooklyn, you can order delivery directly from their site to your door and, right now, for every order, they’re donating to the US Bartenders Guild Emergency Assistance Program. How awesome is that?!








// In an effort to get my stress under control, I’ve been adding a few new things to my routine, including this from a small, local brand based right here in Venice. Not only does this taste delicious, I’ve definitely noticed it helping!

// Last weekend, I Discovered this home shop on Amazon and everything is so amazing and so well priced. I almost didn’t want to share about it because i literally want to buy EVERYTHING, but I’m not that mean ;)

// Chocolate cupcakes for two? Sign me up!

// This brand, also Venice based, is donating 25 meals for every order, so if you’re in the market for new hair products, check them out.

// Loved this article that questions our pre-pandemic habits, spending and the things we thought we “needed” but maybe actually don’t

// the perfect beach umbrella, even if going to the beach these days just means posting up in your backyard

// These sound delicious and 100% like something that needs to happen for dinner ASAP!
