what i’m loving lately

diptyque candleI like to keep my home office a creative and inspiring place and lately I’ve been playing with scented candles to transform my space.  Diptyque recently launched La Collection 34 which smells just like the Paris candle-making workspace at 34 Boulevard Saint Germain (read: smells amazing) so I picked up my own candle to experience that aroma.  Along with the beautiful smelling candle, I picked up this fun printed notebook as well…perfect for my never ending to-do lists!

alternative birthday cake ideasMy mom’s birthday was this past weekend and I was in charge of the birthday cake.  I wanted to do something different and was inspired by the donut-cake concept so I decided to pick up a handful of different delicious sweets from the Whole Foods bakery and assemble.  I picked out a chocolate eclair, cupcakes (one shaped like a dog, obviously.), vegan chocolate donut, banana tart, fruit tart, and various french macarons.  Arranging the different sweets into a ‘cake’ of sorts was really fun and it definitely upped the wow factor when my family saw it.  I think this might just be my new signature ‘birthday cake’!

project juice juice cleanse

But sometimes too much ‘birthday cake’ can be a major sugar load, yikes!  To offset the naughty sugar indulgences I hit the reset button with a Project Juice one-day juice cleanse.  I’ve done Project Juice’s cleanses in the past but this time I was looking for something a bit more hardcore with a focus on the green juices to get in as many vitamins and nutrients as possible.  The Forever Young cleanse definitely isn’t for the faint of heart because its hardcore but I loved it.  The EZ Green juice is my favorite and ending the day with the creamy and sweet Almond Mylk is such a treat.  You guys have to try this!

record store san franciscoAs far as I’m concerned, Sundays are for brunching and exploring.  After brunching with friends this past weekend, we stumbled on this amazing record store in San Francisco’s North Beach district.  It’s always fun to find new-to-you places in your own city!

    Been really meaning to try a juice cleanse – or else just introduce more juice like this into my diet. It’s a bit hard though, I am looking for a cheaper version of awesome juices! http://meowemily.blogspot.com/

      Emily — I totally hear you on the budget factor. Most juices I’ve seen are about $5-7 per bottle because of the organic ingredients and the sheer amount of how much fruit and veg goes into making one bottle. It’s pricey, true, but consider it an investment in your health! Another cost savings would be to make your own juice!

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
