Ahh, springtime! The season where everything starts to come alive again. From regrowth on all of the trees and plants to the shedding of layers mentally and physically — bye, bye bulky sweaters — now's the time to leave behind anything that's been dragging you down and become a little lighter. When it comes to your home, you're going to want to clear away the cobwebs, literally and figuratively, to fully embrace the season and soak in all that spring has to offer. From the pa

The other day I sent Augusta a photo of my organized pantry when I was all finished. I was pretty proud of myself. I just ordered airtight food containers. They are clear containers that came with chalk board stickers so you can label your foods neatly, while also helping keep your food fresh. I wanted to eliminate the boxes that held my food (like pasta boxes for example) to declutter my shelves. She texted back "organization is self-care." And it really is. Self-care is so

Darby and I were going to one of our favorite local coffee shops and getting our usual — two marzipan lattes to go — when we decided to venture from our normal order and get a little something to nibble on, too. And boy — were we so glad we did! We got one of the homemade granola bars to share, and it was absolutely amazing. Being the dessert lovers that we are — we're not ones to go on and on about granola bars (since it's essentially trail mix in bar form), so you'll have t

With Valentine's Day falling in the month of February, we've definitely had the idea of "love" on the brain — especially self-love. One of the ways I've been practicing self-love lately is through a regular usually daily yoga practice. Stepping onto the mat frequently has helped me in a variety of ways, and if you've never thought of this as one of the many ways of expressing self-care, you should really consider giving it a try. I recently completed (and HIGHLY RECOMMEND) th

Diet, shmiet. It's okay to indulge and fix yourself or buy yourself a treat every now and then. It's all about moderation, of course. But when we were doing Super Bowl prep/snack research, we couldn't help but stumble upon yummy dessert recipes. For whatever reason, ice cream was on the brain. We found ourselves clicking on things like "Oreo Lasagna" and "Cookie Dough Ice-Cream Quesadilla." Having ice-cream by itself is already a luxury, but taking the time to prepare a recip

Whether you're in a relationship or not, you always deserve to buy yourself nice things! With Valentine's Day right around the corner is time to show yourself how much you truly care and appreciate well, you! We have declared 2019 the year of self-care, which definitely includes surprising yourself with presents! Valentine's day is an opportune time to put this self-care act into action! Show yourself how much you truly love yourself! You can send yourself flowers, buy heart

We've been obsessed with scents lately. From trying to find signature scents for our homes and our selves (did we mention we love Glossier You?!), we've been testing out all kinds of products: candles, incense, room sprays, palo santo — you name it. So far, we've been loving the room sprays we've tried because they're just a great way to clear the air — literally and figuratively — for all the goodness we're hoping 2019 has in store for us. Here are just a few of the room spr

I'm admittedly a little too hard on myself most of the time. I have a feeling most of us are. But — to give myself a pat on the back for a moment — Darby and I are pretty darn good at creating reasons to celebrate. We're really good at remembering dates, and we love a good anniversary celebration. I was thinking about this lately, as we've had many reasons to celebrate. Of course, the holidays came and gave plenty of opportunities to pause and think about where we were one ye

When Darby and I started the search for our "signature scent" for both our selves and our homes — I decided that I wanted my home to forever smell like palo santo. There's something about the light and peaceful scent that just feels homey to me, so I want to be hit with it the second I open the front door. Naturally, I set up little burn stations all over the apartment. One in the bathroom, one in the bedroom, the living room — you get the idea. But, nothing made the smell so

We're a few days into the New Year now, and our first Christmas in New York is in the books. We never imagined that BOTH of us would be living in New York City come Christmastime, but life has a funny way of working out. 2018 taught us that a lot can happen in a year, and ever since we found ourselves in the same city, we feel like we've been playing catch-up. Catching up on things we missed out on by living so far apart for so long as well as incorporating "New York" things
