Cozy (verging on pretentious in some cases, but let's embrace it) teas and things associated with tea. I'm never been a coffee person but do love the brewing ritual.

I grew up in New England and now live in Santa Barbara. I do everything I can to capture the spooky fall vibes that I so miss from home. Here are things to do, make, eat, read and wear to get the autumnalween times rolling! A variety of costs from free (cardboard crafts) to ridiculous (that housecoat)

Do you have a toddler and lots of time to fill in Santa Barbara? Here's some fun you can have for cheap, free, or, y'know, expensive.

Skincare is king. Plus, mascara. If you also see the "Mixon method" for skin flooding online, I have a section of the products she recommends that I have personally tried and like.

Simple, fun ways to put a little more childhood wonder in your home - whether or not you have kids!
