SHOP | Grayers
More than one of our favorite and most comfortable closet staples come from Grayers, and as we head into the cooler months we’re excited to break out their sweaters and long sleeves. If you’re looking for some new additions to your wardrobe, this weekend is the perfect time to shop their site. With their Labor Day sale running through the weekend and up to 70% off on some of their stock, we’re less worried about how much we’ll buy and more worried about where we’re going to fit it all.

LISTEN | Aisha Badru - Transcendence
Aisha Badru is a singer-songwriter from New York (now based out of Florida), and if you haven't heard her before, we're sure you won't forget her after this newest album release, Transcendence. A great way to wind down after a long week, her dulcet and airy vocals perfectly articulate her lyrics - gentle and soulful and capable of bringing a level of comfort that we've been looking for. Only 5 songs long, it leaves us wanting more, so when you're done relaxing to this one you should check out her Pendulum album from 2018. It's another collection of songs that won't disappoint.
COOK | Sticky Sweet Five Spice Short Ribs
As we head into the long weekend and look ahead to a change in the seasons, it seems like the perfect time to enjoy one last picnic or patio dinner with the family or a couple of friends. Bon Appétit's "Basically" section offers easy recipes and one heck of a delicious (and easy) rib option. Skip the marinating and the grilling - all you need for this one is an oven and the short list of ingredients....plus napkins and an appetite. We love how easy the instructions were to follow, plus it's sure to make you look like a BBQ MVP even if it's your first time making ribs. Skipping the grill also means you get to enjoy your company, the climate, and the cocktails.
DOWNLOAD | Seven
With a constant list of things to do and feeling like there isn't enough time to do them, often our health and workout routines are pushed to the back-burner. Seven makes it possible to find that much-needed time for self-care. With customized workouts, easy-to-follow instructions, challenges with your friends, and leagues to compete in, it has plenty to keep you active even with it's free version. For only 7 minutes of your day, it runs you through a targeted workout, a random exercise or even a free live class - your choice. Your seven minutes.
ORDER | Café No Sé
Part of the South Congress Hotel, every time we look at the Café No Sé menu, it's like they knew what we were craving. Their salads - delicious. Their pastries - divine. Their main courses - addictive. Need even more of a reason to order them and enjoy from home? They also offer drink pouches like their Hibiscus Margarita or SoCo Punch. Although they have to be ordered with a food item, it isn't hard to find something to pair them with so we're more than happy to oblige.
EXPLORE | AllTrails
Maybe you're spending the long weekend exploring rather than cooking out, and whether you're doing it by foot or by bicycle, AllTrails has a guide for that. They help you hike, bike and adventure without the worry, with a community of fellow explorers actively updating the photos, maps and reviews to give you piece of mind. With driving directions to get you to the trail (because we've all had that moment) and easy-to-use directions to take you through to the end, their maps are also downloadable for those spots where you don't have service. Discover a new place, or share your favorites with others. Once you've used it, you won't want to leave home without it.
