Weekly Wrap-Up

In preparation for Lent, this week is the last we will see of sushi, shopping and many other little vices we love so dearly. Ben and I even bought a juicer yesterday. Come Monday morning, it's detox time. I'm partially excited and partially terrified. We have a true talent for motivating one another so I see good things to come on the juicing front. I'm sure I'll be sharing some recipes with you soon! But for now...

Bloglove:
* Tokyo is calling our names thanks to Lenorenevermore.
* Kate is having a girl and I can't help but be just a little bit jealous.
* Morning Light in my Room is a new favorite.
* Old Brand New makes me miss New York to pieces.
* Best DIY ever by the inspiring Amy.

And a little pre-taste of the Oscars this Sunday...

I am so excited that Billy Crystal is going to host them again. I've always thought he was the best Academy Awards host ever. The champagne will be flowing at our house on Sunday that's for sure. Tomorrow we head back to Palm Springs for some more Modernism Week love.  Hope you have an amazing weekend!

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh...

Purple Power Juice

As we wrap up our 3 day juice reboot , I find myself thinking about this fruity concoction we enjoyed on day 2 . A strong, berry burst with a bite of ginger, perfect as a morning pick-me-up. Remember, fruit is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach because it moves through your digestive system much faster than other foods. 6 cups of concord grapes 1 green apple 1/2 cup of blackberries 2 2"  pieces of ginger (I used 1 1" piece because ginger is super strong) Enjoy! xo Sécia Check out our other juice recipes  here !
