SEA SALT + COCONUT+ CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!!!! What a fine Thursday to bake up a batch of your favorite version of the cookie pretty much everyone loves.  I promise your coworkers will be stoked when you get involved with this national holiday and bring them the overages. I have a theory that most mixtures of flour, sugar, eggs, baking power, baking soda and vanilla extract will turn out yummy, but to be safe there are tons of easy recipes online available for the "perfect chocolate chip cookie".  Since its been 100 degrees this week in Los Angeles, our daydreams have been filled with splashing around at the beach. To be able to make those dreams a bit more of a reality I had added a little sea salt and coconut to these guys. A little sea salt and a little coconut never hurt nobody.....or cookie.

*bonus: used coconut oil instead of butter, so they are ALMOST healthy!

NEVERMIND...a spring break state of mind

Its spring break somewhere and WE ARE FEELNG IT!  So ready to put away all of our everyday worries, roll out a towel pool side and sip on something frozen.  Maybe a pina colada, maybe a daiquiri whatever it is, we hope its cold enough to cool us down from the hot hot sun.  Big hats, swimsuits, crocheted cover ups, sandals, quick dips, grilled cheese poolside, the smell of sunscreen and chorine, fresh pedicures, good tunes, things served in fruit, new sunglasses, straw bags, cat naps on pool rafts, waterproof make up, slip-on everything, tan skin, and everything and anything else that will let us throw our phones into the pool and just say "nevermind".  BRB.

DIY FLORAL HAPPY FACE

Today is the first day of Spring or Vernal Equinox, which ever you prefer to celebrate.  We saw this awesome DIY floral heart on 100 layer cake and had to make it into our own. What better way then a big floral happy face to welcome the longer days, warmer temps and our sundresses and sandals back in rotation.

Happy Spring!
