Ginger Gin Basil Cocktail

Gin-ginger-basil

Perfect summer sips: ginger-gin-lemon-basil cocktail

Gin-ginger-basil-2

I found this recipe a little over a year ago and have been using it (with a slight variation) for every party that we host. Normally the recipe calls for honey, but I found this delicious jar of ginger syrup–made by the same people who make those awesome little ginger candies, The Ginger People. I couldn’t pass this up! The ginger adds an amazing flavor to this drink. So perfect for summer drinking. Here’s what you’ll need:

Gin-I prefer Hendricks, you’ll need 1.5-2 oz. per drink
The Ginger People Ginger Syrup
Soda Water
1 Lemon
4-5 leaves of fresh basil
Cocktail MuddlerContinue reading…

Los Angeles Flea Market Finds

Flea-Market-1

The Melrose Trading Post is a must-see flea market in Los Angeles!

Flea-Market-2

I absolutely love my Sundays! Normally I sleep in after a late night show from the night before, eat a delicious vegan brunch with my boyfriend (our favorites: Real Food Daily, M Cafe and Erewhon) and then head to the flea market for some awesome household finds. We’ve been gradually collecting amazing statement pieces from our trips to LA flea markets.Continue reading…

DIY re-finish your Ikea furniture!

Ikean-refinish-1

 Recycle your old Ikea furniture into custom shabby-chic pieces!

Ikea-refinish-2

My boyfriend and I just bought a house in August, so naturally we have a hodge-podge of random Ikea pieces and hand-me downs from two separate apartments. What’s pretty amazing is that even with all the mis-matched items and out of date styles, we’ve been lucky enough to buy only two pieces of furniture for our new home. And even those are vintage! Justin loves projects and decided he could make our old Ikea kitchen hutch look better than any of the refurbished shabby-chic furniture pieces we always see at the flea markets here in LA. He’s come up with a pretty simple process to re-do your out-dated Ikea pieces:

Step 1: Face the facts. Come to terms that your furniture is birch, out of style, and clearly came from Ikea!Continue reading…

Vegan White Russian “The Dude Abides”

White-Russian-Vegan-1

 

The vegan version that’s better than the original

I know, I know, it’s almost summer and we’re all in the mood for tropical, effervescent, fruity cocktails, but sometimes in the warmest of months a sweet coffee dessert drink is what the evening calls for. Normally I steer clear of any cocktail made with milk or cream (for the obvious vegan reason) but I found the absolute best cream alternative for a white russian! Blue Print Juice makes a phenomenal cashew-vanilla-cinnamon-agave drink. I found this line at Whole Foods, but if you don’t have access to this amazing beverage, you can make your own nut milk with a recipe in one of my past posts, DIY Almond Milk.Continue reading…

Honey Salt-a gem off the Vegas strip!

Honey-Salt-1

Awesome vegan options and a cozy vibe at a farm-to-table Vegas restaurant

After my 3rd extended stay in Vegas, I can’t believe this was my first trip to Honey Salt! I heard the raving reviews, but coming from my meat-eating friends, I was always hesitant to check it out. Little did I know there’s a massive selection of vegetables and grains that can be customized for a vegan!Continue reading…

Easy, beachy and bold

Beach-boho-1

Mixing bright orange and yellows

The inspiration came from this super casual neon tank I picked up at Nordstrom when they re-did their “savvy” department. I actually bought it in conjunction with the neon and grey yoga bra, with all intentions of using it for working out. It’s just so cute and easy to wear, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to break a sweat in it! And for about $24 the tank is a steal. Paired with one of my favorite statement bracelets, an awesome chunky Ettika neon knotted rope piece.Continue reading…
