Happy Hour: A Grown-Up Cocoa

Dec 13, 2019

God Bless, Camille Styles.  She always knows just how to make the season bright.  And today, she is lighting up my holiday with a boozy peppermint hot chocolate that’s perfect for Christmas morning (with virgin cocoas for the kids).

Camille’s recipe features Dutch process cocoa, peppermint extract, heavy cream, and other goodies.  But don’t skip on the pinch of salt (I actually add more of a dash).  Salt in cocoa or chocolate milk takes it from every day to delicious.

As for the extras, I love these Reindeer Mugs from Pottery Barn.  Or go for something simpler, like these Crate & Barrel  stoneware mugs.

To decorate, I like these cookie cutters that let you make mini-gingerbread houses to sit on the edge of the mugs.  It’s a fun activity , and they’re very tasty.

Everlane has some amazing loungewear.  These cashmere sweatpants are a phenomenal option.  I also like these fleece sweatpants, which look impossibly warm.  Plus-size?  I found these fleece joggers.

Looking for an under-$50 option?  These cable-knit cashmere joggers are pretty fab.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
