madonna inn.

What’s bright pink, serves the best layered champagne cake in town, and is so over the top, you’ll wonder why it’s not the 8th wonder of the world?! It’s The Madonna Inn!

This historic hotel located in sunny San Luis Obispo, California, is known for its unique and quirky architecture and interiors. Each room is decorated differently, only adding to the hotel’s character. Think a pink stucco exterior, whimsical towers with intricate heart cutouts, lush gardens with water features, and oh so much more! It’s perfect for a birthday weekend or anniversary!

Looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, but in a healthier way? Who isn’t?! What we love is a sheet pan dessert like these without the fuss and the muss! Taking your favorite brownie or chocolate chip cookie recipe and substituting the butter for coconut oil or ghee and alternating the sugar with real maple syrup helps eliminate the extreme sugar spike we all know so well and reduces the fat with a healthier one! Just a few small, healthier substitutions make a big difference!

Once your sheet pan dessert has completely cooled, find your favorite cookie cutters, carefully pressing all the way down, then slowly lifing up by the edges of the cookie press to release the cookie.

We love them displayed on a tiered platter surrounded by multiple bowls of different European chocolates (ex: Baci) and low flower bowls filled with your favorite flowers!

Well it’s February already! How is that possible? Weren’t we just shopping for holiday presents, decorating the house and ringing in the holiday cheer?!

What makes February special for you? Do you have any traditions you enjoy keeping? We love cozy, soft, red and white sweaters, anything with the word LOVE on it, Valentine’s Day decorations and finding the newest themed hot drink at our favorite local coffee spot! Usually it’s a sweet pink drink with some sort of red, pink and white sprinkles, so fitting being so close to Valentine’s Day. Why wait until February 14th to start feeling the love in the air?

Bring on the love!

Friday Find.

Have you ever received a thoughtful, little gift that was so unique, it made your heart smile?  We have, and it’s absolutely delightful! Often, whimsical and clever gifts will do just that. It’s an unexpected little gesture that surprises you and actually serves a function too! That’s why these Friday Finds are ideal, right before Valentine’s Day! The heart USB chargers are from Free People, the sparkling little zipper purses are from various designers, Kate Spade being one. The little zipper macaroon pouch is from Nordstrom and the Junior’s candle is from Literie Candle Co.

Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that mean the most.
