Currently Coveting

March 16, 2016 Miranda Hammer

Most people have their scent. Whether you are a musk person, gardenia, or lavender, there are specific aromas that draw you in.  On a recent outing to one of my go-to markets, I discovered that they carried my favorite soap.  I excitedly waved the soap in front my friend's nose, he quickly responded that it smelled like me. If rosemary and patchouli is my essence, I will gladly take it.  Saipua Saltwater Rosemary and Patchouli Soap is woody and natural, yet subtle all at once. Crushed sea salt and nori add just the right amount of exfoliating texture, and high quality olive oil makes it luxuriously moisturizing.  I often get regretful tearing open the beautiful packaging and putting the soap to use, no longer allowing the wrapped bar's essence to permeate my medicine cabinet. Saipua is known for their gorgeous wild and romantic floral arrangements, but their handcrafted, local (for New Yorkers), cold pressed olive oil based soaps are pretty epic too. All of the soaps are hand made, hand cut, and hand wrapped and are made of food grade oils and butters - making them almost good enough to eat.

I hate to use the term loosely, but when I say addicted, I truly mean it. Addicted in the sense that the anticipation and excitement builds and bubbles as I start thinking about opening the bottle and inhaling. I get giddy and euphoric post-administration, and pangs of regret and remorse overwhelm me on frantic mornings when I forget to use. No, I am not currently coveting an illegal substance of some sort. I am talking about my current obsession, my face oil. Juno Hydroactive Cellular Face Oil by Sunday Riley is the topical equivalent to my superfood sprinkle. Juno is a powerhouse blend of nutrients delivered right where you need it. This oil is light and non-clogging and leaves you glowing all day long.  Ingredients like carrot oil and berry seed blend surge antioxidants into the skin - fighting wrinkles, balancing skin tone, and infusing vitamins skin deep. Now that the secret is out, everyone will be itching for a fix.

Puffy eyes have always been my dead giveaway of a meal a tad too salty or a night not well slept. Constantly in search for the perfect de-puffer, I have tried the gamut of  creams priced high and low, natural and homeopathic, and multi-purpose cover-ups. Not one who likes to waste any time in the am reclining with cold tea bags or cucumber slices on my eyes, I rejoiced when I found Klorane soothing and relaxing patches with cornflower. Simply apply the cooling patches, when you need a little de-puffing action, go about your business for 20 minutes, and than remove. The patches are the perfect antidote for reducing inflammation without losing time responding to morning emails or whipping up your morning oats. Do you have any remedies that you utilize to trade up the puffs for bright and rested peepers?

We spent the last unofficial week of summer in Maine. We have visited a few times before but, this was our first trip with Jack in tow. Maine is one of my favorite places to visit because it emanates quintessential New England charm with its beautiful coastlines, fabulous seafood, and welcoming communities.

radish recs: golden door spa and resort

This has been a busy summer for me filled with some amazing travel, fun work opportunities, and prepping for the incoming addition of #babyradish. I also had the incredible opportunity to attend the cooking school at the Golden Door Spa and Resort outside Escondido, California in early August for some personal development paired with some R and R. The few days that I spent at the Golden Door allowed me some major relaxation partnered with my favorite past time - cooking! 

The Golden Door experience is completely tailored to each guest's needs, from dietary requests, spa treatments, and workouts - everyone's visit is 100% unique. The primary purpose of my stay was to improve upon my culinary skills and to learn new techniques around building flavor and texture using vegetable-forward ingredients without sacrificing the nutritional quality of the food. Although the main incentive of my visit was for the cooking school, that didn't mean that I couldn't indulge in all of the glory that the Golden Door has to offer.

Radish Recs: Nantucket
Radish Recs: Nantucket

Nantucket will forever be our special place, as I know it is for many people. When I first visited sixteen years ago, I was immediately awe struck by the magic and pure unadulterated beauty of the island. The unforgiving “New Englandness” of it all and its upscale Americanism that truly rain supreme. Our transcendent tour guides, Emily and Jack, were present throughout our brief little trip, and we are forever grateful to them for guiding us in the most perfect directions. We spent a little under three days on the Island but, as always, it was well fueled by fantastic and memorable eats. Here are my Radish Recs: Nantucket
