I recently sat down with my stylist – literally, in her chair as we do – and rather than taking out my Kindle and indulging in 30 minutes of relaxation with a book, I opted to take out my notebook and pen and conduct an interview. “Rachel, oh queen of blow-outs, how can I get […]

How To Stock the Pantry

January 29, 2009 By Kelly 1 Comment

I’ve been purchasing extras of our staples on sale, as well as buying in bulk. I occasionally purchase things from a local buying club, Frontier, or by the case at our local whole foods store (they offer a 10% discount on cases). I also try to stock up when I am near a Trader Joe’s […]
