My fiancé and I LOVE to cook. It’s one of our favorite ways to spend time together, helping us connect creatively and indulge in the fruits of our labor. Because of this shared passion and our obsession with watching the Food Network, we decided that on our first anniversary we were going to throw our very own “Chopped” competition…

Symbols so good – they’re scary. Think of a Jack-o-Lantern and quick! What season is it? Is there any other time of the year where this symbol is used to convey something else? Nope.

You all know the saying “actions speak louder than words.” Well today I’d like to discuss how typefaces speak louder than words. Impressively, the visual characteristics of a font or typeface can do a lot of the talking within your brand. It isn’t just the font you choose, but also the way you use and arrange it within a design that helps create an impactful visual and provide a lasting impression. Typography plays a critical role in marketing and design, but first let’s begin with a quick definition.

Currently we are all experiencing a life filled with uncertainty and anxiety due to this worldwide pandemic.

Every time I sip on this sweet & coconut-y perfection, my taste buds are immediately transported to the islands. Craving a little vacation? Try it out!

I’m sure we’ve all been feeling a little stir crazy lately, considering we’ve mostly been cooped up at home for the last few months. I know I’ve been getting restless and just want to get out and explore now that many of our original summer plans have undoubtedly been cancelled or postponed. Since now we’re left with more of the same, I’ve been trying to come up with creative ideas to enjoy the feeling of traveling without actually doing so.
