Whether you grew up playing tea parties with your stuffed animals or later fell in love with the simple elegance of teatime inspired by Oscar Wilde’s hilarious play The Importance of Being Earnest, doing teatime right is a must. The most important rule of having a spot-on tea party? The finger sandwiches, of course! Nothing can […]
Ahhh, the humble slushy drink! It’s hard to believe that blended ice and syrup can taste so good, but it’s true. Out of all the childhood snacks that exist, slushy drinks hold the most nostalgia for me personally, from birthday parties to biking to corner stores to first dates. (Tawdry, I know!) And when the […]

You might think it’s hard to stick to healthy eating habits in the winter, when baked goods and hearty meals abound – but summer is the secret challenge.
