Friday Favorites

by Carla

Aveda Blue Oil: This pepperminty oil has hints of chamomile.  They market it to keep you balanced and relaxed, but we also love the travel-sized bottle for long flights when one of your row mates forgot to shower.  Just dab a little under your nose.  Feeling a bit motion sick?  This will help settle your stomach.

Teakwood Ice Cream Scoop.  We love wooden serving dishes, bowls, platters, etc.  But we are really, really excited about this beautiful Anthropologie scoop.  But is $18 too much for an ice cream scoop?

Larame Barstool from Greige.  How fantastic is this stool?  Not only is it gorgeous to look at, but you can also adjust the height by spinning the seat.  Alyssa has a few of the cheap Ikea ones, which are a total steal.  But really, they’re just the ugly stepsister of the Larame stool.

Emerald Circle Post Earrings: Looking for a gorgeous wood product with a little more year-round use?  We love these pretty Emerald colored wood earrings from HavokDesigns, perfect for every day wear.

Hoping to land your next big job? Learn how to nail an interview with this handy little guide, complete with infographics to prepare you for your next step.  And if you’re not looking, it’s definitely going to give you at least a few chuckles.  We’re big Excel fans, but it might be time to start dabbling in PowerPoint!

Camilla Catrambone and Gabriele Galimberti: If you haven’t seen these projects floating around the internet the past week or two, you won’t want to miss them.  Camilla created portraits of her family using a collection of their personal items, creating a perfect synopsis of each life.  (What would our portraits look like?  Yours?  Food for thought…)

Gabriele posted a wonderful collection of Grandma’s signature dish from around the globe.  Don’t forget to click on the “more info” link before each picture for the recipe from Grandma herself!
