A few months ago, Jared and I watched the documentary Objectified (it’s available on Netflix and is so worth it). The movie examines the public’s relationship with manufactured objects, whether it’s a toothbrush, a can opener or an Apple computer, by looking into the objects themselves and the designers behind them. It was amazingly good…
Check out this mug shot
I read an article a while back that talked about the worst gift ideas ever. Much to my dismay, right atop the list sat the words coffee mugs. Mugs, as the article explained, are insincere, impersonal gifts that show zero creative thought or consideration of the giftee. Ouch. After reading this, I immediately jumped into…
Vegetarian Thanksgiving. Tofurky, anyone?
Have you ever gone vegetarian for Thanksgiving? Jared and I know a guy whose daughter started college a few years ago and not long after decided to go vegan. Suddenly the impending holiday season was a whole new kind of challenge, with her parents trying to figure out how to cook an entire Thanksgiving meal…
Snowball finds a home
Remember that adorable porcelain snowflake ball from Target that I bought on a whim and then realized I had nowhere to put? Well, it has found a home for the holidays (Perry Como-style) and on my beloved IKEA candlestick no less! The mix between the silver candlestick and the steely gray ball is pretty striking…
Favorite things: Return of the Starbucks holiday cup
Cleary I’m a sucker for anything holiday related, and just about any item with reindeer, snowflakes or glitter garners an automatic dose of love from me. But when it comes to my favorite things, I’m trying to be a bit more discerning by reserving the title for items that are super duper deserving. So it’s…
Do you know the muffin (wo)man? Yep, that’s me.
Have you seen the Kashi commercials that show all those rugged, sporty folks in T-shirts and hiking boots scouring the earth for the world’s “best-tasting healthy foods”? Well these cranberry wheat muffins (made with everyone’s fave breakfast food, cracked wheat) turned out to be amazingly yummy little guys. And in the crazy world of muffins…
Waxy build-up
We burn a lot of candles in our house. They’re always white (to match any room), always unscented (smelly candles, though wonderful in theory, tend to make my nose go crazy) and always burned at nighttime (because it’s pretty, pals). But inevitably with each candle, long before all the wax melts away, the flame goes…
Wheat: All it’s cracked up to be.
For the past couple of years, Jared and I have been on a quest to healthier eating. We started with revamping a lot of what we cooked at home (meaning we started cooking a lot at home instead of going out to eat all the time). We coasted comfortably on the sea of healthy home-cookin’…
Let’s get this ball rolling
Jared and I were browsing through the holiday aisles at Target the other day and came across this gem of a decorative item. It’s a little gray porcelain ball, about the size of a navel orange, and it’s rocking my favorite wintertime motif. Yep, I’ve got a thing for snowflakes (everything looks prettier with a…
