Why I Love Snake Plants

Aside from the succulent, the snake plant (aka mother-in-law's tongue) is my absolute favorite plant for the home. Not only is it a beautiful sculptural addition to any empty corner or side table, it's also incredibly easy to take care of- tolerant of low light levels and irregular watering. As a matter of fact, during winter it only needs to be watered every couple of months! This is definitely the selling point for me, as I have notoriously dreadful luck with keeping plants alive. I also read that NASA found the snake plant to be one of the best plants for improving indoor air quality... I can only imagine how snazzy it would make a space shuttle interior look ;)

The Traveling Chef: Cooky Bag

After a lovely President's Day weekend spent in wine country (most of which, I'll admit, was spent over-indulging on said wine and incredible food) I'm ready to get back on track with a healthy eating regimen. Before I know it Coachella will be here, and I know I'll be kicking myself if I'm spending my time out in the desert worrying about love handles! That said, I came across this innovative tote that I can see myself using on the regular. Instead of dining out, I can be my own traveling chef (and we all know that it's much healthier to cook for ourselves!) The Cooky Bag organizes and transports food, then converts into an apron whenever you're ready to start cookin'! Love this!!
