What are some fun and festive activities you can do with toddlers? We plan to do all the things. We want to decorate pre-made gingerbread houses (we found ours at Home Goods) and bake/decorate holiday cookies with the kids. Our neighborhood has a lot of fun streets to take your kids to see Christmas lights.. so why not load them up in the wagon, pour yourself a bevy and stroll the streets!? If … [Read more...]

What is mushroom coffee?  I'm seeing this everywhere and confused about the benefits...sounds gross lol! Lol it doesn't taste gross, but it does have a different taste then traditional coffee for sure.  Essentially it is boiled down mushrooms (specifics kinds of mushrooms are used for their different medicinal properties) blended with coffee.  So you're getting the benefits of … [Read more...]

I saw you make celery juice on stories and curious what the benefits are and how much/how often you drink it? How long does it last in the fridge?  Alix: Celery juice is having a moment right now and I totally rolled my eyes when it started.  But then I did a little research and tried it out for myself and I'm into it!  Celery juice is super healing and some health benefits include: reduces … [Read more...]

I'm having a hard time thinking of indoor activities to do with my toddler.  What do you guys do with your kids in the cold and wet winter months? Girl, we FEEL you on this one. As the rain rolls in and it gets dark at 4 pm, we are finding it harder and harder to come up with fun, creative activities for the kids! The trick is to change it up as much as you can. If getting outside is not an … [Read more...]

Have you guys heard of Moon Juice? My GF just moved back from LA and is raving about them-not sure which to order?! Moon Juice has a lot of really fun products, but sadly I haven't tried them yet. They primarily focus on selling adaptogens which they define as "superherbs and supermushrooms that help expand your body's capacity to handle mental, physical and emotional stress".  I've tried … [Read more...]

Instead of happy hour questions this week, we thought it would be fun to "spill the tea" and ask each other 10 rapid fire questions so you could get to know us a little better! Most are pretty silly and random.. but hey, so are we ;) Happy Weekend, everyone! What is your worst bad habit? Heather: I feel like I have a lot but my worst habit is picking my cuticles/peeling my shellac nail … [Read more...]

I need a new pair of jeans for fall.  I want a darker wash without any distress (too cold to have my knees exposed!).  Ideally a skinny ankle cut that will work with both flats and booties.  Help! If it were me, I'd go with something from Madewell or Levi's but those are just the jeans that fit me the best and don't break the bank. However, I've linked a bunch of options below that would be … [Read more...]

Your Insta photos are so pretty and consistent. What are your tips and tricks in creating an equally pretty Instagram account like favorite filters, editing apps, etc? Thank you! This is the best compliment :) We currently use Marina McEvoy's preset for all of our photos, which is a Lightroom setting. Before we used VSCO and used the exact same filter on every single photo and only ever played … [Read more...]

Have you listened to any good podcasts lately? I was obsessed with Dr. Death, Up and Vanished and Dirty John and need some new material for long car rides to work.  Obsessed with all of those podcasts, too and can't WAIT for Dirty John to come to Bravo.. the trailer looks SO good! We just came across Season 2 of Up and Vanished and plan to start it next week. Our other favorite podcasts are … [Read more...]

Heather- Tell me more about how you make nitro cold brew at home? I'm so jealous! Oh man ok where to start.. so my husband has a beer keg in our garage refrigerator where he can have two beers on tap at the same time. He decided that it would be awesome to have one side of the keg be nitro cold brew coffee since that's what we both drink every morning. He basically just had to buy the parts to … [Read more...]
