Southern Flourish Magazine Launch
Southern Flourish, a new, 100% digital magazine that dishes out modern style and reveals Southern lifestyles, launches in a week on March 15th. It is such a joy to have a publication with inspirational, modern content at our fingertips - especially since Domino magazine is no longer.
The launch issue features 15 writers living in 9 Southern states - and I am one of them! Check out the sneak peek below for my article on Save.Spend.Splurge: Quatrefoil. It was such a pleasure to piece together and write about a design that has roots in history but also appears in many moderns finds. In addition, the Southern Flourish launch issue is packed with amazing articles about Southern style and beauty, what to do on a long weekend in Charleston, discovering local farming and much more.
Be sure to check out Southern Flourish!

Branch: Sustainable Design for Living
Branch, a home design online shop, based in San Francisco is the type of website where there is no buyer's remorse. The thought behind the goods they sell is that products are appealing on every level, but they are also manufactured and brought into market in a way you don't feel guilty about buying them. They put a big emphasis on sustainability including materials, manufacture, transport, and use. You can also feel better about disposing of them later down the road if you ever decide to part.
Now, let's get into some of the goodies:
Produce Bags - Set of 5 by Flip & Tumble
Wall Balls by Amy Adams

Baja BBQ Firepack
Summer grilling can be eco-friendly, clean, and chemical free. The Baja BBQ Firepack is charcoal packaging that lights instantly and burns away in the grill. Using 100% recycled biogradable paper pulp, the Baja BBQ Firepack contains 2 lbs. of natural lump coal and features an integrated chimney. Your food will be ready to cook in 15-20 minutes. Then, time to eat!
Keep in mind that 14,500 tons of VOCs are emitted from the tons of lighter fluid used each year in the US. Plus, lighter fluid leaves a residue of toxic chemicals on grilled food. Sounds yummy...
