Homemade Almond Milk

I recently became interested in almond milk when I had tried it incorporated into a smoothie.  It provided a creamy yet slightly nutty taste that really enhanced my snack between meals.  About six months ago, my fiancé decided to invest in the powerful Vitamix - the dynamo of a blender that can purée/ liquify just about anything in a moments time and let me tell you we have gotten a lot of use out of it from healthy green juices to silky soups.  One recipe that I wanted to try was homemade almond milk, which turns out to be so easy and less expensive then the store-bought counterpart not to mention much tastier.  Continue for more...

Christmas in July

Do you know that phrase Christmas in July?  I am personally into this idea, not for receiving gifts but giving gifts to loved ones.  I recently partnered with Uncommon Goods, the fabulous on-line retailer that is chock full of unique items including amazing gifting options for anyone on your list any time of year, to send a gift to someone that I love.  As many of you know my sister just had a baby and I am an auntie, I am quite obsessed with my nephew.  I was able to see him recently on my trip to Vermont and I didn't want to put him down.  I miss him so much!  I am surely going to be one of those aunts that spoils their nieces and nephews, and to get started I decided to send him a little present from Uncommon Goods.  When I was a child we played toys for hours, unlike a lot of kids today, constantly being tuned into an iPad or screen.  I wanted to send him something that all children like, so I sent him these Nursery Rhyme Blocks.  I am sure that he will love them for days to come.  Below are just a few of my favorite picks for spoiling other loved ones in your life during the summer months.  Continue for more...

I Love This Look: Folded Dress

I hope that everyone had a great weekend!  We really enjoyed the cooler weather here in New York, it felt very refreshing compared to last week.  I am sad to report that my camera had an unfortunate accident and broke, yes, I am devastated, since my weekends typically involve photography. I am going to have to get a new camera body an expense I wasn't anticipating, luckily I have a few posts ready.  When it comes to dressing for work in late summer, easy and effortless is the way to go.  I love this look because it is so chic, yet can transition easily after work hours when dinners or happy hours are on the schedule. I hope that everyone has a great week!
