    Clare

    Home improvement is suddenly a much bigger deal when home is basically the only safe place to be. If you’re looking to revamp a room with a new coat of paint, but find buying paint to be a completely overwhelming experience, you need to meet Clare.

You don’t need to look through thousands of colors, you just need to look through the best ones, and that’s what Clare’s expertly curated options are. The brand also makes it so easy to buy everything you need to…

    Anti-Inflammatory Foods

    How cool is this? Food & Wine recently published a list of anti-inflammatory foods that can be purchased at Trader Joe’s. This is both an excellent refresher course in the benefits of anti-inflammatory foods, and conveniently, it’s also a ready-to-go grocery list with helpful tips on what to look for in packaging. Plus, who doesn’t love exploring the wonders of TJs? Give me all the cruciferous veggies!

    Lemon Bars

    Hey, you know when you accidentally order a quantity of lemons you’d typically only need if you were running a roadside stand of some kind? Whelp, last week the grocery store fulfilled my online order with three BAGS of lemons instead of three individual lemons, so I’ve been looking for good ways to use up about 20x more lemons than I need. These scrumptious looking lemon bars are exactly the inspiration I was hoping for. But honestly, let’s just put meringue on everything.

    Apotheke Candle Collab

    Summer candles can be tricky, because they’re such a cozy moment by nature. Apotheke has completely nailed it, in collaboration with artist Matt Schwartz (AKA She Hit Pause) who has decked these candles out in plenty of dreamy color. Expect scents like “Rooftop In August” and “Swimming In Rectangles” to fill your space with summery vibes.

    Glow Sunscreen

    Necessary? No. Delightful because we are magpies? Yes. Coppertone’s Glow sunscreen is a lightweight (but still powerfully sunburn-preventing) cream that is infused with shimmer and ready to transform you into the bronzed goddess you were born to be. Who among us doesn’t need a little extra sparkle during a quarantined summer? Lather up, y’all.

    Mocktail Recipe

    Does anyone else love a mocktail? I do! Especially when you spike that mocktail with vodka. Especially now, as the summer is shaping up to be a hot one, the dehydrating effects of alcohol are even less welcome than ever. Also, if you’re currently pregnant or nursing, you absolutely deserve a tasty drink in this heat. If you need a delightful mocktail for summertime sipping, might I refer you to this one that’s packed with flavor? Yes, thank you.

    Goal Setting Check In

    Somehow, six months of 2020 have gone by. I know, best not dwell on that notion for too long. But, now is a good time to check in on career goals that were set at the start of the year. Given the historic upheaval that has swept the world in the months since you might’ve set those goals, it’s probably time to re-evaluate. Take a look at my goal-setting posts which give you an easy step-by-step process for thinking about what you want in your personal and professional life and a roadmap to get there.

    I was recently influenced by my good friend Eva (you know her as @thehappilyeva), to try these unbelievably tasty cheese snacks called Whisps. They’re a low carb, gluten-free cheesy crisp that come in a bunch of crazy delicious flavors and honestly just GIVE ME ALL THE WHISPS.

  • Davines Liquid Spell

    Latest

    Davines Liquid Spell

    According to a couple of my fine-haired friends, this Davines Liquid Spell mousse is the best hair product ever. It creates tons of volume and really lengthens the time you can go between blow outs, which is ideal in summer when you don’t want to suffer under the hair dryer’s firey breath more often than necessary. To use, just add a small amount to damp (not super wet!) hair, and then blow dry with a round brush or a brush/dryer combo tool. Dry in sections, working your way toward your crown. Happy hairstyling!
