FRIDAY FAVES - 4.29.22
- This kid really took advantage of her first communion!
- Peanut butter cups have NOTHING on these extremely silky and delicious no-bake Tahini bars.
- Love these tips on how to nail the layered necklace trend!
- This robe! Whimsical and beautiful and light enough to wear all year.
- Our online SHOP is full of fun wines to crack open on Mother's Day, or to gift to your favorite mother figure. Go explore!
- A round-up of gorgeous airbnbs in wine regions around the world. Swoon!

Take care 'til next time!

Happy Earth Day! What are you doing to celebrate? We're drinking wine (duh)! Read on for some wines we love that honor the earth, plus a few other fun things.
FRIDAY FAVES - 4.22.22
- Last year, we profiled wine from three organic wineries in honor of Earth Day. Check out the post here!
- I know that Is It Cake? (Netflix) sounds like a too-silly-to-consider concept for a reality show. BUT LISTEN. It is SO entertaining! Mikey Day (from SNL) is a hilariously unhinged host and the concept is way more fun than I imagined. Highly recommend.
- For a birthday this weekend, I'm making this extremely classic Confetti Cake by Calire Saffitz. It's going to be delightful with a frothy glass of Domaine des Terres Dorées 'FRV 100' sparkling Gamay.
- This is a thrilling read that I'm gobbling up.
- Can yeast be used to beat back climate change?
Have a sunny day!

Welcome to April! And Friday! I hope you've got amazing plans for the weekend, but first, take a look at a few things we loved this week.
FRIDAY FAVES - 4.1.22
- As a child of the 90s, I love seeing the resurgence of chunky hair clips, claws, and whimsical hair accessories. How cute are these puppy-shaped clips?!
- If you're smitten with Starbucks' new iced drink, the Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, try this copycat version at home! If you're lazy like me, skip making the vanilla syrup and instead do this: add a splash of vanilla extract, a teaspoon of malt powder, and an ounce of simple syrup to the hot espresso before shaking it with ice. YUM.
- Oof, eggplant parmesan sounds GOOD right now. Devour it with this Lagrein.
