It’s been a slow month or two for house decorating so I’m looking to the outside world for inspiration. And I’m finding it in spades with these incredible modern homes! I’ve decided that in our next home I have to have windows that run from floor to ceiling. It may be the only thing currently on my ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE list! Oh, that and a bath tub! Our house doesn’t have a bathtub and I guess I’ve always taken having one for granted because man oh man do I miss it! Anything on your ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE LIST that I should know about? (This is a little game I like to play called fantasy house design- I drag Lou into it all the time!) Happy Friday everyone, have a tasty weekend! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}

I recently stumbled upon an article claiming that there’s a “backlash against kale”. I don’t remember where it was, because honestly, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I stopped reading before I ever started. If there IS a “backlash against kale” I certainly don’t want to sit down for dinner with the said backlashers. Instead I’m left wondering when are we going to BACKLASH against actual problems? When will we say ENOUGH with corporations who put chemicals, sugar and fat in our foods that has no business being there? When will we BACKLASH against obesity, heart disease, diabetes and the insane rise in autoimmune diseases and cancer? If you’re not angry about the state of food in this country world, if it doesn’t make you FURIOUS that there’s no way to tell if your lunch has been genetically modified short of exclusively buying organic, I think it’s time we have dinner. I’ll serve you this kale salad and get you all riled up, I promise! {And you will LOVE the salad, there will be no backlash there.}
Want to know how you can take a stand and say ENOUGH ALREADY, every single day? Use your dollars. Shop at your local farmers market. Stop buying foods that have mile long lists of ingredients that you need a PHD to even pronounce. Use your vote, use your best judgement, use your heart. Ask questions at restaurants. Request more organic produce at your grocery store. Talk to your family and friends about what you’re eating, what they’re eating, where it all comes from. I believe in us, I know we can ALL do better. Yes, absolutely 1000% me too. Let’s do it, ok? Because if I even see another headline claiming that the “kale fad” is over I’m going to scream. Loudly. And it will probably startle my dogs. I don’t want to do that. …*climbs off soapbox* xx- Sarah {recipe and more after the jump}
Anytime you’re in the mood to channel Jessica Rabbit just throw on a pencil skirt, I promise your curves will thank you! It’s something I think every lady should have in her closet to pull out when she’s feeling sassy. They’re easy to dress up or make just a bit more casual with a plaid blouse pairing. I’m rounding up a bunch of options for anyone on the hunt below, starting with the mesh number I’m strutting about in! MEOW! Hope you love! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
These tasty little delights may look like they’d be a fair amount of work in the kitchen but I’m SO happy to tell you they’re insanely easy to whip up and the time they take to make really just lies in waiting for a sweet potato to bake and the quinoa to cook. They’re the kind of dish you serve your friends, impress your significant other with, and wish someone would make for you at a dinner party. All the while being so freaking healthy it’s silly. That’s right, these suckers are HEALTHY. As in: protein packed, antioxidant rich, low in saturated fat, HEALTHY TOWN, USA. Make them, please! Heck, while you’re at it make them twice!! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
You may have seen me here on Christmas morning wearing my most favorite present, the Chloe boots I’ve been coveting for YEARS, with new yoga pants. You can’t imagine my excitement when I opened that package (yes, it was the kind that requires choking back tears)! So for now on, most of what I buy will be meant to wear with these boots. That’s normal right, to design a wardrobe around a single pair of boots? Well, it’s happening either way. THANK YOU LOU MORA!!! xx- Sarah
