good eats // 2
When people hear that I am a pescatarian, so many can't even begin to think of what I eat. Apparently no chicken, beef or pork means that you go hungry? Not in the slightest. Anyone who really knows me, knows I'm an eater. This girl does not go hungry (and if I do, you'll want to find a granola bar asap because I'll be in a bad mood... ha). I'll be posting more about great recipes I've found or just made up as I go. Try them out with me. I pin recipes constantly and as I make it myself, I either mark it as *tested + tasty, or I delete it. I don't want to lead you astray with my pinned recipes... to start, a dip and perfect summer salad. Eat up.

product love // wood
It's 2 o'clock and I'm thinking about happy hour already (is that bad?). If I were to stay home for that cocktail, I want to drink my martinis in these! Please tell me you agree...
David Rasmussen - also the designer of some beautiful furniture (check out his ReMix Chair).
I am in need of a cover for my phone and this one is top on my list. You know how I'm a sucker for a good pattern, so I love this tribal pattern. You can't go wrong with their other simple wood covers though. So good. And made in the USA!

in your home
There are so many great options out there in the world of eco-friendly furnishings and finishes. I have a few to share that have officially been added to my list when I have somewhere to put a new piece!
LORMINER dresser
ABERDEEN desk + DEVOE end table
BRIGHTON credenza
I'm sort of in love with this company I recently learned about. Wonk NYC, based in Brooklyn, uses environmentally friendly materials and finishes to produce modern home and office furnishings. I really love the fact that you can choose your own finishes and hardware to create a one of a kind piece.
INDIGO lounge
OTTO side table
RECLAIMED TEAK rocker
SOBU, owned by some serious talent in Oakland California, allows the natural character and variation in wood to be the highlight of each piece and use fabrics with natural fibers. They also use recycled aluminum and steel when they can find it. I just want to curl up on the Indigo lounge with my cocktail sitting on the Otto side table by my side. Anyone with me?
Joya Rocker
Hand crafted in Canada, Monte Design has the most beautiful + simple rocker. I'm most definitely recommending this to all my friends decorating a nursery.
Finishing everything by hand, Duverre has created unique design-driven collections of knobs and pulls manufactured entirely from recycled aluminum. I just love the idea of 'purposeful' imperfections. I hope you turn to amazing companies like these using materials with environmentally friendly choices.
