San Miguel de Allende: The City That Stole My Heart (and My Step Count)
Think European charm meets Mexican hospitality — cobblestones, rooftops, five-star meals, and the kind of color that makes you stop mid-walk.

Jennie’s Holiday Lamb (So Easy It Barely Qualifies as a Recipe)
I’ve made this lamb for years, but last Christmas — cooking with a 2.5-year-old and a 6-month-old in the room — I realized just how forgiving and foolproof it actually is. It’s my favorite kind of recipe: simple, comforting, and special enough to gather people around the table.
Jennie’s Famous “Everyone Eats This” Weeknight Pasta
This is the pasta that keeps our household alive. I make it every single week, and somehow it’s the one meal my husband, my toddler, and my crawler all agree on — which honestly feels like winning a Michelin star some days. It’s simple, soul-warming, and wildly forgiving… perfect for moms, multitaskers, and anyone cooking with one hand while holding a baby with the other.

Sustainable Fashion for Every Style: Minimalist vs. Maximalist
Sustainable fashion offers something for everyone, whether you're a minimalist who loves timeless basics or a maximalist who embraces bold patterns and colors. Brands like Everlane, Cuyana, and Reformation cater to minimalists with their focus on high-quality, versatile pieces, while Farm Rio, Blockshop Textiles, and Cleobella bring vibrant, sustainable options for maximalists. At Kila Siku, we combine both worlds with our upcycled leather bags, designed to fit seamlessly into any wardrobe while supporting ethical production. No matter your style, sustainable fashion is all about making choices that last and leave a positive impact on the planet.
