New Year Intentions

I focus on intentions for the year because it feels like a general theme. Of course, I have goals to accomplish, but intentions shape those goals and provide value to them...The intentions inspire the goals; the goals support the action.

You need both energy/thought and action to create any meaningful outcomes in your year.

Gift Guides

I don't know about you, but any time I see a design or lifestyle magazine during the holidays, I'm instantly tearing open the pages to see what they recommend as gifts. You never know where good ideas come from.

This year, we made one! Well, a couple. Because there are so many things in the store to be excited about, but more importantly, excited to give.

Coffee Old Fashioned

An Old Fashioned is one of our favorite cocktails, maybe of all time. When you've finished the turkey dinner, done all the dishes, and contemplated getting the tree up, sometimes you just need a treat. This variation is rich, warming, and has a little kick.

Is self-care a marketing ploy or mental health movement? Because whatever it is, we’re obsessed.

At its best, "self-care" is also a movement; an excuse to slow down in a society that runs at breakneck speed, a reason to question which of our life's activities are making us numb and exhausted, and most importantly: pop-culture's permission slip to talk about our mental health, freely, for the first time in history.

DIY: Pumpkin Succulent Arrangements

What better way to celebrate fall than with succulent arrangements on pumpkins?

This is such a fun activity for the Autumn season to do with loved ones, but you can also crank out a few pumpkins at a time if you wanted to give them as gifts! We are moseying our way into the giving season, so keep that in mind when you start! Once you get the hang of it you'll want to give them all away- or have one in each room of the house (no judgment).
