VitaTops
I recently ordered a case of VitaTops after searching far and wide for them here in L.A. with no success. Back in Northern Virginia, I used to get these at our local Whole Foods, but haven’t been able to get my hands on them since we moved. I called a few grocery stores in our [...]
Organic Halawy Dates
I’ve blogged about dates before (in the Daily Photo section) but these are dates worth talking about. I picked up this box of organic Halawy (of Halawi) dates from the Farmer’s Market this week, and up until now, I’d never eaten this variety.

It’s absolutely amazing, not gritty at all, and can be used in tea, eaten with fruit, [...]
Wooden Wall Clock from West Elm
I love contemporary decor with an earthy feel, which is why I was so taken by this wooden wall clock that I saw at West Elm. At the time, I thought it was a great buy, only problem now is that I never know what time it is. And I feel like no one is [...]
