Booze tends to be the go-to holiday gift because, let's face it, it's basically medicine for grown-ups to get through this insane time of year. I like to over-commit myself to projects I don't have the time or skills for, and doing DIY holiday gifts is on my list of regrettable decisions as of late! Last year, I made rosemary simple syrup and gave them with cute little skull-shaped bottles of vodka. This year, I decided to make spicy tequila because I love it and you're supposed to give the things you love, right?!View Article

It would seem that my goal is to make all of my loved ones hate me by August 1... Can't write/shower/be a productive member of society today, I'm too busy forcing my parents and fiancé into wedding DIY indentured servitude. Welcome bag assembly, here we come! TONY, DO YOU STILL WANT TO MARRY ME????View Article
In the latest installment of the Coffee With Friends series, I am SO EXCITED to introduce you to The Curated Tee and the mamas behind this awesome business: Vanessa Ragland and Mandy Sheffer. I met Vanessa through The Groundlings (she's a current member of the Sunday Company) and in addition to being Mom of the Year (I gave her the award... Congratulations, Vanessa!) and a genius comedian, she and her best friend Mandy recently launched The Curated Tee, a subscription-based company that offers a monthly gender-neutral t-shirt featuring a guest artist's design, along with a digital download of an activity based around that month's artwork. In addition to supporting up-and-coming artists, they also expose kids (ages 1-4) to different forms of art that encourage them to think and play! Subscriptions are a perfect baby shower or children's birthday party gift. I'm not the only fan... Molly Sims recently Instagrammed her love for them!View Article
In an attempt 1) save money 2) be more crafty and Martha Stewart-ish and 3) do the whole “shedding for the wedding” thing (not taking #3 very seriously - I had tacos and a pile of guacamole last night, but I digress) - I decided to DIY our peanut butter… Sea Salt Cashew Almond Butter, specifically.View Article
