If you ever wonder how long it takes me to complete a post, it’s about three hours straight. From photographing, editing images, and writing the content; it’s a whole process. This doesn’t include the preparation beforehand such as brainstorming ideas and planning how each idea/project… Read More
Scorching Summer days have not yet arrived but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a popsicle or two. But if you know me, a popsicle isn’t just a popsicle. It’s gotta be amazingly tasty and gorgeous. These Coconut Flower Popsicles are just that. Made with… Read More
If you are starving and can probably eat a horse, I suggest you stop reading this (until you’ve filled your tummy with some nutrients). It’s like you don’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry. Just a no no. Yogurt is the ONE thing that we… Read More
Happy Wednesday! With this post, I’m taking you into my dining room where some butter break action was happening. Ok, so what the heck is a ‘butter break’? It’s kinda like afternoon tea but instead of the petite pastries and teas being the highlight of… Read More
Happy Monday! Today, I’m sharing an uber vibrant, bubbly, and tasty thirst quencher. Sorry, it’s not an alcoholic drink but I’m sure with some imagination, you can probably turn it into one! Say hello to my Citrus Coconut Soda. The name says it all. There… Read More
One of my favorite ‘better-for-you’ snacks is rice pudding. It just satisfies my sweet tooth without an ounce of guilt. To make it even more delish, I’ll add granola and fresh strawberries. I’m a huge fan of the brand Kozy Shack Simply Well Rice Pudding. It’s… Read More
The urge for hot tea sipping tendencies is slowly diminishing as the weather gets warmer and the days get longer. It’s time to transition back to those iced teas again. When Compassion Tea Co. sent me their ingenious iced tea maker and some packets of black… Read More
How is it possible that Easter is already around the corner? The weather here in Boston is as cold as ever. Regardless, I’m a mom and as much as I want to hide under the blanket until it’s 70 degrees outside; I can’t. Mommy duties… Read More
This past week has been draining to say the least. We cancelled our trip to Disney and my brother’s wedding (!) because Axel caught a nasty bug the very day before we had to fly. Perhaps more on that later… I haven’t spent that much… Read More
Growing up, I always ate grapefruit dipped in a salt & crush red pepper mixture. There was also this- pear dipped in a fish sauce & fresh chilli pepper sauce. The pear had to be super crunchy and sweet; the soft ones won’t work for… Read More
I get it. Outside, it’s bone-chilling cold so a hot bowl of creamy soup sounds perfect right? Well, that was pretty much all I ate for lunch these past few days- creamy tomato soup. I’m all souped out! My tastebuds are screaming for something refreshing… Read More
One of the many things that I adore about Boston is that there are cute cafe shops in every nook and cranny. Cafes are the perfect place to catch up with gal pals about work, kids, and life in general. There’s just something about the… Read More
I’ve never really been a salad girl- until I had kids. Your metabolism doesn’t function the same as it used to pre-baby. I can’t say that I’m still one of those lucky gals who can eat like a beast, doesn’t exercise, and manage to maintain… Read More
When I first saw the cover of Conde Nast Traveler back in December 2013, I was inspired. Very inspired. Immediately, I wanted a ‘Tea for Two’ corner somewhere in my house. I was obsessively attracted to the French feel of the space. Did a little… Read More
Happy Friday everyone! The team took Christie, our Marketing Intern, out for an afternoon ice cream treat to bid her farewell. It was her last day with us before she heads back to college. Because we work in the city, food trucks are abundant. We… Read More
Zoey has been extremely helpful in the kitchen. This morning she helped daddy make scrambled eggs and blueberry pancakes. Later today, she took it upon herself to recreate mommy’s newly invented flavored drink- Elderflower Berry Ginger Sparkling Water. Since the days have been significantly cooler… Read More
After so many years together, date night options have become very limited. Movies are out b/c I’ll probably fall asleep within thirty minutes (after 8:30pm, I can’t function). Bar hopping? We both don’t drink so that just doesn’t make any sense. Clubbing? NOT. A. CHANCE.… Read More
What better way to welcome a gal back to work than a dozen of not-so-kind to my waistline macarons?!! Thanks Brittany Fischer for the yummiest sweet treats. EVER. Love you so so much!! I seriously have the best job and colleagues. #solucky #feelingblessed #gloss48insider
Good morning! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. We’ve been blessed with very good weather so far. Yesterday, we made a family trip to ZA, a restaurant that offers unique pizzas and salads featuring local and sustainable farm-fresh ingredients. As Axel snoozed away in his… Read More
Lucky for me, I have a husband who enjoys cooking. During the summer time, I’ll have homemade pastas and ice cream to look forward to. This past weekend, he made a savory quiche for breakfast. It was a team effort, Zoey helped with making a… Read More
