I work out of my studio in my home. Does anyone else work from home? This article really spoke to me about some of the challenges - the snacking, the internet, occasionally forgetting to change out of pajamas.
Here’s how I like to beat the midday slump!
#1 - Make Granola
This is my favorite granola recipe that I’ve been using for years. I switch up the ingredients and use different nuts and seeds, like pumpkin seeds and walnuts, and reduce the amount of sweetener and oil to 1/4c each, substituting maple syrup for honey.
2 1/2c Oats
1/2c Sunflower seeds
1/2c Sesame seeds
1/2c Wheat germ
1c Coconut
1/2c Almonds
1/4c Maple syrup
1/4c Oil
Bake at 300 F for 45 - 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Enjoy!
#2 - Theater
I’ve been watching this documentary about the making of the musical Rent - an amazing story of perseverance and trial. We all know how it ends, but the journey is still remarkable.
#3 - Catalogs
I love to flip through catalogs for color inspiration! Gudrun Sjödén clothes and textiles are stunning - their spring collection, filled with bold, bright prints, can be found here.
#4 - Music
Bernstein conducting the recording of West Side Story with opera singers - I grew up on this music and it always transports me back to my parents' living room.
And of course, #5: taking a nap.
