Soft and smooth skin

| By New Darlings

We're so excited to be working with method to help spread the word about their new foaming body wash.  We've been big fans of method's home cleaning line for quite some time now.  Their products are all naturally derived and never tested on animals which is a big plus for us.  So we were pretty …

Our Favorite Cookbooks

New Darlings - Favorite CookbooksPhoto details: Kinfolk cookbook, Amelia Mancini tea towel

We both come from families who love to cook.  With Cuban and Sicilian heritage, a lot of our family gatherings revolve around food.  Since being married, we have both taken recipes that have been passed down to us and incorporated them into our weekly dinner routines. Every now and then, it’s fun to mix things up and try something new from a cookbook.  For us, dinner is always a special time where we can “unplug” from social media, television, and stressors of the day.  With daily schedules that change often, it’s not always easy to find the time to cook a healthy meal, but it’s definitely something we try to make a priority.  Here are some of our favorite cookbooks that can be found on our shelves and in our cupboards.Read More

It’s Monday! With a new week comes new projects and inspiration!  Since moving in to our new place, our obsession with interior design has been rekindled.  We spend most mornings flipping through our favorite home design books and surfing Pinterest for inspiration.  Slowly but surely our new place is coming together and we’re making some exciting choices with the aesthetic and color story in our home.  We can’t wait to share everything we’ve been up to!

Lately, we’ve been obsessed with shibori: the ancient japanese dying technique.  Indigo hues have been stealing our hearts, along with these fun designs and patterns.  We love how it can apply to home decor as well as fashion.  Here are some of our favorites:Read More
