I had the opportunity to visit the Southern Living magazine offices in Birmingham, AL. It was such a fun experience and I cannot absolutely wait to go back!
We filmed a “Facebook Live” video in the Prop Studio and I shared some of my favorite summertime entertaining and DIY ideas.
Each May on the first Saturday, crowds gather and there are parties galore to celebrate the “Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports”…the Kentucky Derby! Whether or not you follow horse racing throughout the year, the Derby is something everyone can get excited about–whats not to love about a thrilling race? But the Derby is also so much more than a race, so pick your favorite pony and mix up a julep because a fabulous party is something we can all root for!
Spring has finally arrived, and at JJ Keras Lifestyle, we are so eager to incorporate fresh, colorful blooms into a festive tablescape…and what better way to bring the outside in than by using edible flowers? Using edible flowers isn’t a new concept (it actually dates back to ancient civilizations!) and is a go-to for many chefs to add variety and interest to salads, main courses, and pastries. But for a simple way to add color and freshness to your table, try freezing edible blooms in ice cubes. The beauty of each blossom is perfectly encapsulated in each cube and adds an effortlessly chic touch to any soiree.
