I am a huge believer in dinner parties. To me, there is nothing more real than long night spent laughing with a glass of wine in hand while letting the candles on the table slowly run down. Honestly though, one of the most important things that will make or break a dinner party is the food. I have been to far too many dinner parties where the hostess thinks it’s okay to pick up some pre-made side dishes from Whole…
Personally, I think one of the easiest ways to ‘chic’ up a summer drink is by using craft ice cubes. People tend to notice details- so by doing something as simple as adding a little extra decoration to your ice tray before putting it in the freezer can 100% ensure that your picnic/dinner party/you name it event will be the talk of the town (not to mention Instagram) for weeks! After our Art Deco Ice Cubes were such a big…
As we continue to raise awareness for the #SaveBrendan movement, Prim and I wanted to show readers how Brendan Fraser can play an integral role in daily life. We spent this weekend watching our favorite Fraser films and coming up with about a MILLION creative and easy ways for all our readers to bring a little more of Brendan into everyday moments. We started with The Mummy (we are totally boycotting the Tom Cruise version, trust), and moved from there…
My boyfriend A and I have been getting into all sorts of arguments and disagreements recently and it’s honestly been really upsetting. At first I thought it was because of the full moon (him being a Gemini and all) but when I started to push him to talk he finally dropped a major bomb… His wife is pregnant. AGAIN. I was beyond shocked- here he won’t even give me an engagement ring but he’s all ready to give her a baby?…
Raise your hand if you’ve experienced any of the following problems: You’re a recent grad with a low paying job just wishing you could enjoy a nice meal every once in a while. You want to have great food photography on Insta… but your boyfriend is too cheap to take you out every night. You accidentally spent your paycheck on lipstick and bulgogi but still want to enjoy a good dinner at Chez Panisse. Your boyfriend doesn’t want to take you…
Last week A introduced me to what is probably my newest fave superfood. I am LITERALLY crazy about it, it is changing the way I live my life! I definitely had heard of it before- but to be honest I was never really interested in trying it before because it sounded pretty bland. It wasn’t until we were out at dinner last week and A offered me a sip that I realized I have totally been missing out. And THEN…
I’ll be completely honest here, I find my sister’s boyfriend (C) a little weird and dark… He has a strange obsession with Venetian masks and often will spend entire meals staring at the ceiling without eating or saying a word. My sister find all of these things cute and quirky- she often refers to him as her masculine Zooey Deschanel. I just don’t see it. Needless to say this past weekend, when my sister invited me and A over for a double…
This weekend I was lucky enough to attend a bloggers only retreat in LA hosted by a (blogger) friend of mine- it was absolutely exquisite. We dined, we laughed, and we all shared our favorite stories about being full time bloggers (I’ll have to do a post on this later, some of them were hilarious- I’m talking about you, Sherman!!). The best part of it all? The retreat was complete with a personal french chef for each of us. I…
Yesterday was a hard day at Des Geulasse headquarters. I’ll be perfectly honest here… my sister and I don’t believe in democracy or really any form of leadership. But that being said, even if we did we would still have a hard time accepting Donald Trump as our president. We spent the majority of the day yesterday crying and staring at our Instagram feeds, trying to understand where everything went wrong. We also refrained from posting. The DIY Hillary Clinton…
I just had the girliest weekend ever and I swear I have #noregrets. Primrose and I went out with a few of our dear friends to do some wine tasting, get manicures, and just total gossip about our love lives non-stop. It was so amazing and EXACTLY the kind of weekend I needed to relax and detox. You see recently things with A have been a little rough. He’s been acting a little distant ever since I told him he needed…
