Friday Favorites

September 20, 2013 by Alyssa

Happy Friday!  Exciting and inspirational things happened this week!

We’re on Instagram now!  We love Fat Mum Slim’s Photo A Day, so much that we decided to join the fun.  We just started this week, so we’re still building up our gallery.  But you should definitely follow us for lots of great photos and more personal glimpses into our daily lives.

Quitokeeto’s Greek Herb Trio:  Are you familiar with 101 Cookbooks’ online shop?  They have beautiful, artisan products from all over the world.  But they’re usually purchased in small quantities, so you need to act quickly if you see something you like!  Like this Greek Herb Trio, with oregano, thyme and sage.

Brown Butter Rice Krispies: This recipe from Honest Cooking looks like the perfect easy dessert for a crowd.  Who doesn’t love Rice Krispie Treats?  Add nutty brown butter and a drizzle of chocolate and we’re there.

SOMA Water Filter: Have you caught wind of this beautiful new water filter making its way around the internet?  It’s $49 for the carafe and two filters, plus they auto ship new filters to you every two months with free shipping for life! But mostly, it’s real pretty and committed to supporting charity: water.  Gold stars all around.

The Legend Bracelet: Love traveling? Do you have a special set of coordinates that mark an occasion, but you’re willing to commit to an Angelina Jolie-style back tattoo?  We love this bracelet, engraved with the coordinates of your favorite location.  What a pretty gift this could make to mark a birth, elopement or even a simple moment you don’t want to forget.

Ritual Coffee’s Sugar Skull Seasonal Espresso:  Sometimes you just crave a strong cup of tasty and complex coffee.  Keep your eyes peeled for this yummy seasonal offering from San Francisco’s Ritual Coffee Roasters- often offered at Whole Foods Markets!  (Plus, we have to admit we really dig the adorable packaging…)
