Food Obsession: Coconut Cupcakes

One of my family's most loved treats is my coconut cake. I get requests for birthdays and holidays. And, at times when we value portion control, the cupcake version is perfect. I made these for my hubby this weekend. I love Ina Garten's recipe.

Lanvin goes viral

Lanvin’s new viral video. Loved their latest ad campaign and this video is sort of a behind the scenes of how the print ads came together. Genius.

Flowers: Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are undoubtedly one of my favorite flowers. Simply beautiful, I love the mound shape of these blooms.They are perfect accent for any event or just decorating your home. I actually planted my first hydrangea this spring. Luckily, it has survived the overbearing heat of Georgia, I can't wait to see what it produces next year!
