PICNIC IDEAS WITH RUNA TEA

Last week, San Francisco had one of the hottest heat waves ever recorded. We are not equipped for scorching weather like that. Most homes here don’t have air conditioning so it’s important to find other ways to cool off. With that heat wave, I thought it would be the best time try these RUNA TEAS. This tea has a beautiful mission. The making of RUNA helps reforest the rainforest. RUNA is made from the guayusa (GWHY-YOU-SA) leaf ...

BELL SLEEVES FOR FALL

After talking to the sales associate, she convinced me. First, ...

Whether it’s a button up shirt, a shirt tied around my waist or a plaid scarf, I love having a pop of plaid. It makes even denim shorts look fall ready. I found this plaid top at Target.
