Now that we’re having consistently cooler weather, I am craving homemade soup. I’ve never been a fan of brothy, chunky soups, but thick pureed soups are right up my alley. Featuring creamy butternut squash, broth, a mix of comforting spices and a hint of tart granny smith apple, this soup is incredibly easy to make. In addition to being delicious and flavorful, did I mention that it’s also healthy?
‘Tis the season for fun and festive events. Fresh off a lovely wedding in New Hampshire at a cozy venue complete with a roaring fire, 15 foot Christmas tree and rustic-chic holiday decorations galore, I’m ready to embrace the holiday season. Lucky for me (and you!), there are two great holiday themed local markets to enjoy this weekend: The Eat Boutique Holiday Local Market and SoWa Holiday Market.
Warm Interior of MiniLuxe on Newbury Street
After eight days of marathon quality walks around London, my feet needed a little love. Specifically, a nice, pampering pedicure ending with some fantastic new polish on my tootsies. Enter, MiniLuxe on Newbury Street and their Sugar Kiss Lalicious Pedicure.
I'm thankful for many long runs and walks along the Charles River in Boston
Happy Thanksgiving! It’s the time of year when we all pause and reflect on what we’re thankful for in life. How often do we stop and think about the many things that make Boston so wonderful? Following last year’s successful blog entry on what Bostonians are thankful for about Boston, I couldn’t resist asking friends and @savvybostonian Twitter followers to participate again this year.
View From The Top of Anthropologie's Living Wall
Though we’ve never met, I’m smitten with the folks on the visual merchandising/store interior team at Anthropologie. I’m amazed at how they cleverly and artistically work to create a unique experience for every customer who steps foot into their stores. Part DIY fantasy, part global bazaar, every store is different and spectacular in its own way.
A great example of this is Anthropologie’s Living Wall inside the Regent Street store in London. Discovered during my recent trip to London, the store has a vast, three story, 200 sq. meter wall that’s filled with living plants. Lush and green, the Living Wall is aligned with the store’s staircase, allowing guests like yours truly to admire new plants on each level. In addition to being beautiful, I was also impressed to learn that the wall is sustainable and is irrigated by rain water collected from the roof.
