I am seriously crushing on pink pants right now. Hot pink, soft pink, ballet slipper pink… loving them all!

I’m not a big dessert person—really, I’m not. But… there are some weeks that just call for a glass of red wine paired with a decadent nibble of some good chocolate. I mean real, organic, good-for-you chocolate.
I found the perfect remedy for a long, tough week in this Raspberries in Dark Chocolate bar by Chocolove. Raspberry seeds + cocoa (add a delish Cabernet) = work week gone and onto a relaxing weekend of yoga, sunshine and dogsitting my bestie’s Havanese.
PS: Chocolove is an all-natural, organic chocolate manufacturer based in Boulder, CO. I’m biased because my beloved is Boulder-made, but I feel like the BEST innovative food items come from Boulder.
Thank God It’s Friday! I mean it… there’s something about a Friday afternoon that makes me thankful for relaxation and a few days to blow off some of that workweek stress!
I am so blessed to have this view just steps from my doorstep in beautiful Del Mar. In fact, that’s where I’m headed right now for an evening jog. While it’s a gorgeous Friday here, and I’m usually off for a glass of wine and a bite with my beloved and friends—tonight is for staying in, putting on a new Lush mask from Australia (thanks, babe!), getting into my new book, making a delicious dinner and maybe even watching a good movie. TGIF!
Light washed wood walls add a warm, relaxed feel to any type of room, from bedrooms to kitchen. They provide a beachy vibe, and do a great job of bringing the elements of the outdoors inside.
I love how the walls (and jute rug) in the top bedroom tone down the elegance of the bedding and headboard. My own bedroom has one washed wood wall, which adds a ton of depth and texture to the room.

Korean Beef Bok Choy is undoubtedly my go-to, easy weeknight meal. It’s inexpensive, ridiculously easy to create and oh-so delicious… but I could eat bok choy every day.
While it’s definitely more of a winter vegetable, you can find this member of the cabbage family all year round. It’s rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium, with a variety of texture from the soft leaves to the crunchy stalks.

I have a slight obsession with Greek yogurt lately. Whether it’s served with granola and honey for breakfast or as a sauce when mixed with fresh herbs to accompany chicken or fish, Greek yogurt is perfect any time of day at any meal! I came across this scrumptious recipe in the latest issue of Cooking Light. I can’t wait to try it on a summer night as an alternative to ice cream.

I think Michelle Williams is one of the most talented, graceful and beautiful actresses of our generation. She seems incredibly demure, intelligent and devoted to being a mother—characteristics that are hard to come by in this era. And really… how many women can pull off a white-blonde pixie?
