Recipe: Vegan Pecan Parmesan
I’ve been making the this vegan parm for YEARS. Although I normally throw it on salad, I now make it in batches to throw on anything (my husband discovered he even loves it on chicken). If you’re looking to cut out dairy, give this recipe a shot.
Kitchen Refresh: Before, After, and All the Deets
As someone who spends so much time in the kitchen, I felt something needed to be done to create a brighter vibration. It was the only room in our home that felt a little too moody—we have a very bright home, but the kitchen was designed with deeper grays and charcoals. As someone who spends so much time the kitchen, I knew I had to raise the vibration, but wanted to do so without spending too much money.
Roundup: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020
A sale can be a time for mindless overconsumption—or it can be a time to invest in beautiful pieces at a lower price.
Recipe: Seared Scallops over Lemony Greens
A simple dinner that is so satisfying! Loaded with protein and fiber, but still light and lean. It features a few fresh ingredients from your local market, like broccolini, scallops, and lemons—but it can also make good use of stuff you already have, like butter, shallots, and frozen peas. It all comes together quickly.
Lessons I Learned in My Twenties
Yesterday, I turned 30. For the last few weeks, I’ve gotten the question: “How do you feel about turning 30?” as if this new decade means I’m now officially over the hill and entered into true adulthood.
I’m only a day in, but I am really thrilled to be entering this decade. Why? Because I absorbed so many lessons in my twenties (which, to me, seemed like the real tough decade, am I right?) so now I have more tools to bring into my thirties. Here are some of my most profound lessons.

An Ode to Feminine White Tops
When I find something I know I love, and will wear all the time, then I can justify owning many iterations of that particular thing. For me, that thing is pretty white blouses. I love how white blouses can be dressy, but casual. Feminine, but not too girly. On a weekend, or to work. Here’s a roundup of my favorite white blouses.
Meet Sally, My Hairstylist
In this blog, Sally—hair designer and educator—shares what she does to my hair to create a beautiful, blended color that grows naturally and requires little maintenance.
Recipe: Raw Lemon Coconut Truffles
The springtime has me craving citrusy desserts! Instead of making a poppy seed cake—or something loaded with carbs and sugar—I thought I’d make a healthier option to curb my cravings.
My Lemon Coconut Truffles are honestly one of my favorite things I’ve made in quite some time. The good news: they’re raw, vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and no added sugar. All the good things.
Talking Beauty with a French Model
Yesterday, I had a live chat on Instagram with my friend, Amandine, who lives in Paris and works as a model. We talked about beauty standards in France vs America, what wellness looks like, and how she’s viewed her time in quarantine. We failed to record our live chat, so here is a recap of our conversation.
Recipe: Simple Vegan Cobb Salad
When I crave a cobb salad at a restaurant, I always have to amend whatever option is on the menu (I’m not a bacon or cheese girl). I’m not vegan, but I usually like my salads to be! This salad is totally plant-based, but has all the macro and micronutrients you’re looking for to be fully satisfied.
Recipe: Sweet Potato, Kale, & White Bean Soup
No matter the weather, I am always down for a veggie-packed soup. The rosemary in this soup really pairs well with the natural sweetness of the sweet potato and the creaminess of the white beans.
