Joyful Sunday and Joyful (virtually) Lunar New 12 months! We have been so grateful to have gotten to spend per week collectively as a staff in Palm Springs this final week. Per ordinary, it was a productive lovefest, and we left feeling very crammed up in the easiest way. A few of us even bought there early and bought to expertise the wonders of Mallory’s grandma’s good 80s rental. It was a Palm Springs dream! Okay, listed here are this week’s hyperlinks…
This week’s home tour is an unbelievable design delight. Commune Design (an EHD favourite!) designed Scout Willis’ historic Twenties LA residence. The integrity of the house stays fantastically intact whereas nonetheless feeling private to Scout. It’s so dreamy, so please go test it out!
From Emily: I’ve excellent news and dangerous information (hair-wise). The excellent news: my hair has a lot quantity proper now due to Nutrafol (on month 8 now). The dangerous information is that I’ve to battle helmet head on daily basis as a result of my “previous hair” is lengthy and thinner (under my shoulders). I’ll say it earlier than, and I’ll say it once more, I do know that it’s a dedication, I do know that it could really feel costly, but it surely works. You gained’t discover a distinction for 3 months, however then prepare.
From Caitlin: Properly, that is going to begin bleak, however stick with me: earlier than she handed, my mother bought a Tovala oven. The gear was free so long as she bought a set variety of meals…which is how I turned a Tovala subscriber, in an effort to meet her quota so I may return the oven. Right here’s the place the story flips: TURNS OUT, I LOVE IT! Each week, I place an order (Den and I get 8 meals, however you possibly can select kind of) and we obtain ultra-fresh, ultra-tasty meals within the mail. They take seconds to prep, and then you definately merely SCAN THE QR CODE and 5-20 minutes later, you’re rewarded with a DELICIOUS, HOME-COOKED MEAL. It’s like magic! It’s been a lifesaver on the nights when neither of us has the vitality to prep and prepare dinner, and it’s saved me main bucks on impulsive DoorDash ordering. It’s saved me a ton on grocery payments, too – I’m lastly consuming my greens with out the onus of ending a whole bag of spinach earlier than it expires. Tovala, YOU HAVE FOUND A SUPER FAN IN ME! (As I write this, I’ve a crispy buffalo rooster pasta heating up – Den shall be having the crimson wine-braised filet after mine finishes cooking. Will we snack on some pretzel bites with a heat cheese dip later? You recognize it! It truly is like magic. I imply it.)
From Mallory: Austin and I not too long ago made calabrian chili pasta, and WOW is it scrumptious. We principally made a vodka sauce and threw a few of these dangerous boys in there (maybe too many as a result of ours was loopy spicy, so take heed earlier than dumping half the jar in), however the taste is simply divine. We shall be maintaining these in our fridge recurrently now.
From Gretchen: Towards the top of January, I took a fast journey to Central America. My good mates (who work remotely) determined to “transfer” to Costa Rica for a few months and rented a spot with a visitor room, ensuring there was sufficient house for mates to return and keep–one thing I took benefit of IMMEDIATELY. Possibly you do not forget that Em and her household traveled there a couple of years in the past, too (she shared her good itinerary and recs right here). That they had the time of their lives, and actually, so did I. Collectively, my mates and I went zip-lining (on the similar place as Em, Selvatura Park–extremely suggest), hit the recent springs, adventured on evening hikes, and noticed so many unbelievable animals. Getting there was a bit of dicey (hiya, propeller aircraft), and due to that, I wished to be sure you pack as good and as mild as I may. I borrowed one other good friend’s unbelievable Cotopaxi backpack she’d taken on a latest journey and fell in LOVE. This pack is created from reused, deadstock supplies, so the colours you get are a little bit of a thriller, which I believe is a part of the attraction. To not point out the eco-aspect. But it surely was SUCH an environment friendly and comfy bag, and it held A TON. So many good pockets and straps. In the event you want a bag that packs a punch however nonetheless suits within the overhead bin, I HIGHLY suggest this one. Sure, it’s costly, however anybody who’s used one will let you know it’s greater than price it.
From Marlee: About one 12 months in the past, I bought a pattern of Le Labo’s Noir 29 scent – bergamot, black tea, fig, vetiver, musk – DELICIOUS! The one drawback is that it’s as much as $340 for a bottle. Sorry, not occurring! Fortunately, I stumbled upon File – a perfume model that makes dupes for name-brand scents – I ordered their Citrus Tea scent, and it smells precisely. the. similar. And for less than $49. It’s by far one in every of my most complimented scents, and I really like having the ability to spritz myself freely with out the “cost-per-spritz” looming behind my thoughts. Within the final 12 months, I’ve used about half the bottle, and I put on it fairly continuously, so it’s undoubtedly an incredible worth. I like it!
From Jess: As you’re studying this, we’ve simply come again from a beautiful staff retreat in Palm Springs. And since we have been going to be weblog planning by the pool (ha!), I actually wanted a brand new swimsuit. I’ve discovered that a number of the swimsuits I’ve been don’t give me the center floor I’m on the lookout for. They’re both tremendous teeny (which may be enjoyable however not best for each state of affairs) or have extra protection than I’d like. So once I stumbled upon the Left on Friday retailer final weekend, I used to be so excited to search out this high and these bottoms of their Candy Chili Warmth shade (aka Purple and really Baywatch). One among my greatest mates has been carrying their fits for years, however for no matter purpose, I hadn’t tried them but. Their fits are made for “being lively,” they usually have some tops that go as much as a G cup. I really feel good, assured, and safe on this swimsuit, which is all I can actually ask for:)
From Arlyn: I’ve lengthy been a fan of designer Laura Hodges, however I’ve not too long ago found her store, Area Residence Decor + Items. Of particular point out is the classic part, which is a revolving assortment of pleasant little housewares and sometimes some furnishings. Proper now, she has stunning bentwood eating chairs, some nice classic baskets, and—maybe my favourite—stunning glassware like this trio of yellow glass bowls, or this set of classic inexperienced glass juice cups. Give it a glance, as there are various treasures to search out at honest costs!
