Six Impossible Things
You know those weeks when you have a to-do list that’s a mile long and it doesn’t seem to be getting any shorter? Well, this is one of those weeks for me. For every task I complete, another one seems to take its place immediately. It’s tempting to crawl into bed and forget about it…

Northern Lights
Just last week, I spent a week in the north at a lovely beach-side hotel. We’d get up early in the mornings, enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast with everything from regional cheeses and shakshuka to the butteriest brioche rolls and then head out to visit multiple stops on our itinerary. We did everything from walking…

Via Flowers
It’s officially Summer and we couldn’t be happier! We’re both on vacation, and while we’ll be relaxing our regular posting schedule a little, we’re still going to keep you updated and post new content. Flowers are something that I think make everyone feel both luxurious and comfortable, and one of the first things I noticed…
