:: On My Reading List ::

This time of year you will often find me with my nose in a book. There's just something about springtime that makes me want to lay outside and read to my heart's content. But alas, I have a confession to make... my bookshelf is full of purchased volumes whose bindings have yet to be broken. Therefore, I've made myself a promise to try as hard as I can to pull a novel off of my bookshelf instead of buying something new. With that said, here's my spring/summer (maybe into fall/winter) reading list...
I'm actually kind of embarrassed that I haven't read some of these yet! I have a habit of re-reading my favorite books over and over again instead of picking up something new. What's on your reading list?

    I just finished reading the hunger games trilogy which was very entertaining, so now I need a new book... Maybe I'll check out one from your list! :)

    *grin* I admit to not having read most of these either, despite them being on my bookshelf too... I remember reading 'American Psycho' when I was 19 years old and it certainly left an impression!

    What a great pledge. Perhaps I will join you on the book-buying-ban for a bit. I recently plucked 'The Great Gatsby' from the bookshelf (has only been there about 2 years, so that's not too embarrassing) and I'm really enjoying it. Then I think I'll try 'One Day' - my most recent purchase.

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 !
