spice-c juice via pressed juicery
if you recall, i had a sinus infection several weeks ago. i get them a few times a year. what typically starts out as watery eyes and sneezing quickly morphs into completely blocked sinuses, headaches, a sore throat, sometimes a cough, etc…it’s miserable and usually keeps me down for several days. i visited my ENT {ear, nose, throat doc} and he was not happy to report that my sinuses were more swollen than ever before! i left with cortisone pills, nose spray, an rx for 2 weeks worth of antibiotics and a kleenex sticking out of my nose. attractive, let me tell ya. within a week, i was able to breathe again! unfortunately, two weeks later zoey gave me her cold. since then {it’s probably been 2 or 3 weeks, at this point}, i’ve had congestion and phlegm built up in my sinuses – i can’t shake it! my stepmom and dad have both suggested acupuncture – something i’m very curious about and will probably look into; however, for the time being, instead of running to my ent and taking more meds, i considered finding a more holistic and natural remedy.
since juicing has become a new thing for us, i thought maybe i could find a juice recipe that would help. after perusing the web, i stumbled across the pressed juicery blog – the chalkboard. i’m obsessed. so much awesomeness going on there. from juicing tips and information to lifestyle and beauty tips. love.
it was there that i found the “everyday detox juice and salad” recipe. i quickly zeroed in on the description of the juice:
this combination of pineapple and orange is a mega dose of vitamin C, a powerful cold and flu fighter. pineapple provides additional benefit with the enzyme bromeliad which helps suppress coughs and loosen mucus. jalapeños eliminate sinus congestion and reduce sinus headaches. everything about this juice makes it a flu-fighter.
by golly, this might be it!
i made note of the ingredients and tried it out this weekend. delicious! i can’t honestly say that it helped with my sinus issues because i only had one glass. but i know i like it and i plan to whip up a batch, store it in the fridge for a day or two and drink a few ounces a couple times a day. it may not solve the problem, but fingers crossed it will help.
if you try it…enjoy! and let me know what you think!
on mother’s day.
crochet/lace top – marshall’s // skirt – jcp {similar} // belt + coach bag – vintage/thrift
my mother’s day was perfect. breakfast, shopping, a delicious steak dinner w/ wine, and a foot rub. i’m quite certain i don’t want anymore munchkins, but i don’t know… does the amount of kiddos i pop out have anything to do with how royally i’m treated on mother’s day? i’ll ask my husband and get back to you on that one.
until then, i hope you enjoyed your mother’s day! {or at least pampered your own mama with lots of love.}
mom’s visit // day four
{in recognition of mother’s day, i thought i’d share a few photos from the last day of my mom’s visit.}
we had lunch then drove up mulholland highway to snap a few photos.
i can never get enough of the santa monica mountains!
later that afternoon i took the ladies on a hike – something they really wanted to do while they were here.
their visit went by way too fast! i miss her so much already!
happy mother’s day, mommy friends.
have a lovely day.
what i wore: jacket – soto {a local boutique} // blouse – marshall’s // leggings – sanctuary

*in august of 2007, i made my first etsy purchase – three soy candles by cottage garden therapies. lavender chamomile, hippie in a jar and patchouli. they came in the most adorable dark glass jar with a home-made label. the candles lasted forever and the scents were amazing, but i never revisited the shop! several years later, here i am…ready to make another purchase. i mean, who doesn’t want their home smelling like a hippie? {they sell soap, scrubs and body lotion, too.}
*a few weeks ago, i received an email from kate – a jewelry designer living in maine. every summer kate travels to different towns, selling her jewelry at local markets and festivals. recently, she purchased a vintage trailer with the hopes of opening her very own mobile jewelry shop! however, the trailer needs several repairs – water damage, upgrades, etc. so kate is asking for donations to help! there’s no pressure to donate, i just thought i’d spread the word. for more information, visit kate’s kickstarter page.
*don’t forget to enter the dogeared mother’s day giveaway! you could win a lovely pearl necklace for your mama {or yourself!} offer ends tomorrow.
i’m feeling a little pressed for time when it comes to blogging these days. if you’re missing me {ha!} you can find me spending what little internet time i do have on instagram and pinterest.
mom’s visit // days two & three
day two: was spent in ventura. {i didn’t take any photos.} we had a late lunch at a seafood restaurant on the pier, then walked to the end and watched the local fishermen pulling in little fish here and there – someone even caught a sting ray! {they let it go.} afterwards, we headed over to main street to peruse the shops and thrift stores. i purchased a boy’s sized blazer and a vintage vase. mark bought a few records for our record player. it was an easy trip a few miles up the coast. there’s just something about ventura… maybe it’s the laid back beach vibe or the locally owned cafes and antique stores…whatever it is, i’m always eager to take our out-of-town guests. that and i love, love, love the thrift stores!
day three: we had the best brunch at our favorite mexican restaurant – bottomless mismosas and tons of delicious eats! after stuffing our faces, we played in the park and i snapped a few photos. i love the similarity of the pics of me with my mom and then of zoey and me. mark took some fun photos of taylor, too! it was a cold and rainy day, so we ended up inside for most of the afternoon.
