Bathe in eucalyptus epsom salt + castille soap.

I swear by this ritual for stress relief and achy muscles. 

I run a super warm bath and put a cap of this brand of epsom salt and as much as I want of Dr. Bronners pure-castile soap (Walgreens also carries a comparable less expensive version.) The combo will produce a milky effect and leave your skin feeling revitalized and super clean. And you'll feel super relaxed...like "put me right to bed" relaxed. I did it tonight right before writing this post (pardon any typos. My fingers feel like blissful jelly) so I anticipate a drowsy but productive slumber. #goodnight

Perfect Iced Coffee.

One time I quit coffee for two years. I made nod worthy strides in my overall being and was generally less cranky in the morning, although that part took time. And as quickly as I decided to quit, I decided to drink one of life's simple pleasures once again. I believe it was Stumptown that wooed me back to the dark side. It was worth it. And in addition to a classic drip, one my favorite brews is poured over ice. It's visually pleasing as it is appetizing (see above image.)

Here's a recipe that claims being the best.

Apartment Makeover

I have been itching to do a home makeover for some time now. Tonight This weekend I will share photos of our current apartment design, which I love because it's familiar, but I really do want to modernize the space.

The above image has a great color palette for couples. It's a nice combo of masculine-feminine, but not too sterile. Stay tuned for more.

And you can follow me on Pinterest here.
