Palm Springs

Vacation cannot come soon enough! I'm headed to Palm Springs for a long weekend and cannot wait to relax and enjoy the warm weather. I'll be back with more posts on Monday!

Farm Fresh

Every other Wednesday we receive a shipment of Organic Fruit and Veggies from Farm Fresh to You; a local CSA serving the Bay Area. When we joined, over a year ago, we hoped that it would inspire us to cook a little healthier and ensure we always had fresh fruit and vegetables in the house. It quickly exceeded all of our expectations and we have been busy cooking ever since. If you need a little inspiration or just more Fruit and Vegetables in your diet I highly recommend joining a local CSA!

Last week's shipment (pictured above) included: Oranges, Lemons, Apples, Yellow Onions, Avocado, Asparagus, Lettuce, Radishes, and Zucchini

Rainy Day Love

I used to hate the rain, mostly because I never planned for it and it often ruined my favorite shoes. These days I have become more accepting of it; as long as I'm not stuck in it without an umbrella I actually find it rather beautiful! I hope you don't get stuck in the rain today.

Coffee Break

I try not to blog about work, but today has just been one of those days. Not only was business tough over the weekend, but we found out at 1pm today that all of our Holiday product needs to be booked by end-of-week (typically this takes about 3 weeks). To cheer myself up I bought a Vanilla Latte and an oversize cookie, sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference!

California Coral

While I enjoy a good mani/pedi I rarely find time in my busy schedule to drag myself to the nail salon. Instead I have invested in a few staple colors and twice a week I pamper myself. California coral is my new favorite color; it has just the right amount of peach and pink and instantly reminds me of summer! What is your favorite nail polish color?

How cute are these cake stands! I have always loved cake and cupcakes but only recently became inspired by all the creative ways to display these yummy desserts. I am currently searching for the perfect cake stand to display all my homemade treats.

Black and White

I have long been a fan of all things Black and White, which is why I am so excited about these buttons which will be used for an upcoming project that I am working on. Stay tuned to see them put to good use.

TGIF

I ALWAYS look forward to Fridays. The freedom of the weekend quickly approaching coupled with warm weather makes today even more exciting! I'm looking forward to drinking white wine, eating great food, and enjoying some much needed sunshine. Have a great weekend!

Happy Earth Day!

I found this picture of natural mangroves to be absolutely beautiful.

Amish Friendship Bread

A coworker of mine gave me a plastic bag a few weeks ago and told me to simply follow the directions. I did what she said and 10 days later I had 2 fantastic loaves of bread and 4 more starter batches to pass along. We now have the entire office mushing plastic bags and baking amazing bread in 10 day intervals. If you have any interest in making homemade bread, this is the way to start!

April Showers

The weather in San Francisco has been very unpredictable the last few days, raining one minute and sunny the next. It gives meaning to the phrase "April Showers bring May Flowers" and has me dreaming about sunnier days ahead!

Mellow Yellow

I recently became obsessed with yellow and can't seem to get enough! These are a few of my recent purchases...

Hunter Original $92 at Zappos.com

Rugged Duck Handle Umbrella $9.99 Amazon.com

Linen Whirly Skirt $29.50 Old Navy.com

Shoe Envy

I don't know about you, but i fell in love with the Cynthia Vincent shoe collection for Target well before it hit stores on April 18th! I patiently waited for the 18th to arrive while carefully plotting my plan. I called 7 Targets yesterday and even convinced Ian to drive to Daly City only to come up empty handed. I finally resorted to checking inventory levels in all Northern California stores via Milo.com but unfortunately all stores were sold out in my size. The only place I found them was Ebay but I refuse to pay twice as much (even if it's only $60) to the person who bought every pair online and ruined my scavenger hunt. I guess it wasn't meant to be...

Happy Monday!

I left my house at 6am this morning and arrived at work just in time to see the sunrise. I hope your Monday starts as beautifully as mine!
