FEMME FRIDAY // Tara Sowalty
As one half of the lovely duo behind the How You Glow phenomenon - Tara Sowalty @tarasowlaty defines glow. She and her founding partner Jessie DeLowe tapped into the millennial mindset with the perfect site + IG feed @howyouglow to satisfy every craving. They were brilliant in stretching the boundaries of wellness to extend into the realm of travel, fine dining, fashion and all things #glowy. I've found myself referring to their site many times to find our where to go, what to eat, and what to do.
They are truly quite brilliant in their curation.

FEMME FRIDAY // Kristin Dahl
Kristin Dahl and I have known each other via Instagram for quite some time now, but it wasn't until we both lived in west LA that I was fortunate enough to have the chance to connect in person.

This may sound like something that should go with the territory, but it so...

I'm fortunate to have spent a little more time around Jessie over the last few months. Our lives seems to have had similar trajectories with finding love, marriage, and baby all in a relatively short time span. I get a sense of ease from her that I know so well myself. There is something so...
COCONUT CAESAR // Romaine, Dulse, Cured Olives.
Summer is all about staying hydrated. There's never a better time of year to incorporate as many raw foods into your diet as possible. Not only will eating a diet full of fresh vegetables (especially greens) replenish what you loose sweating it out in high temperatures, you will also infuse your body with minerals and antioxidants that can literally help protect your skin from the sun.
This salad can be served as a romaine “wedge” inspired by restaurant platings, or you can also use romaine hearts...
