I’m always talking about faux plants and botanicals, and The Bloomist is one of my secret sources (shhh…don’t tell). This site brings together an uber-talented community of artists and artisans with a passion for being environmentally responsible, and highlighting the beauty of nature. They carry an EcoFaux™ line made from upcycled and recycled fabrics that look so incredibly real with tons of life-like detail. For instance, the English garden roses have bug holes, faded blooms and leaves. It’s these kind of details that set them apart from the rest.

2. My love of candles and natural stone led me to this new brand - The Luxuriate. First you choose your candle holder in your stone of choice (pink onyx, green onyx, white onyx, natural onyx, black marble or white marble), then your candle refill scent (my fave is Ambre). When the candle burns out, just order the refill! The stone holder is gorgeous, and the candle scents are intoxicating. Right now they are offering a starter pack for $50! With the stone holder essentially free (valued at $130). Super deal.

3. I came across this great blog post on Emily Henderson’s site (one of my fave designers) on how to make a great cocktail with what’s in your fridge. It outlines a fool-proof and easy formula. Worth the read!

4.) Before all this craziness, my workout of choice was boxing. I loved the intensity, aggressiveness of it, and mostly - the results. You burn crazy calories in an hour. Not being able to do this type of exercise has really affected my sleep, mood and overall well-being. While in quarantine, I discovered Centr fitness. It’s a fitness app created by Chris Hemsworth, giving you access to all of HIS trainers, exercises, and nutritionist. There are thousands of exercises from yoga, to HIIT, to MMA. There is even a section for meditation. (Full disclosure - I did not have high hopes for its success. I have tried SO many at-home fitness programs and none of them had staying power with me). This one is different…I am absolutely addicted to Centr. I feel SO good, have so much energy, and actually look forward to the workouts. I’ve been doing 6 days a week! They are quick, around 30 min., so I can pump them out easily. If you’re still searching for an at-home fitness routine, definitely check this one out.
