Monthly Life Update, June 2021

June 25, 2021June 24, 2021By JoannaPosted in Lifestyle

Hi friends, this is a weird post for me to share, so I hope you’ll bear with me. I might as well come out with it: I will not be posting here to the blog for the next 3-4 weeks in order to simply take a break. There are a lot of reasons why I’m doing this and I’ll share those later in the post. But if you’re new and just happening upon my blog or haven’t checked in for a while, this is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this. I’ve pretty much never taken this much time off from posting in order to focus on myself or anything else. But it’s time. And here’s why:

Kailu Heritage Silk Duvet Review

June 24, 2021June 23, 2021By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors

Disclosure: For this post I received gifted product from Kailu. All opinions are my own and always will be! Thanks for supporting content that keeps Jojotastic going.

A couple of years ago, we were walking at a local beach in Seattle when Noodle accosted a doodle puppy. The owner and I got to chatting, while the two dogs romped (aka Noodle jumped Marty for at least 20 minutes). After parting ways, she found me on Instagram and we’ve been in touch ever since. Around that time, the pup’s owner, LiLi Tan, launched Kailu, a brand combining old-world textile techniques with modern design to make your sleeping experience even better. LiLi sent me one of the Heritage Silk duvets for me to try out and let me just say… it’s truly luxurious. We’ve used our raw silk duvet for over a year now and I’m pleased to finally share my full Kailu review with you today!

The Best Peach Pie Recipe (With Thyme & Honey)

June 23, 2021July 27, 2021By Josh BordenPosted in Recipes & Food

Summer is here and the stone fruits are soon to follow! *celebration emoji* This month, I am sharing a recipe that has a special place in my kitchen: PIE! The best peach pie recipe, to be specific. This homemade peach pie combines the classic flavors of peach pie with a fun, herbaceous twist that’s just tooooo good. One of the first “big” baking successes I ever had was pulling off my pie crust recipe. I’ve given it a few good tweaks over the years, but it’s always my go-to because it leaves a lot of room for creative adjustments. At this point, it’s a recipe I could make in my sleep. While it is still a bit early for the good peaches, it’s great to have this recipe in your back pocket. As we all know, good peaches have a tight shelf life, so it’s always good to have a plan! Plus, who doesn’t love pie??

Source List: My PNW Cabin Dining Room Decor

June 8, 2021June 8, 2021By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors, Our Cabin

I’m not fully finished decorating the dining room of our PNW cabin yet, however I can’t quite put my finger on what else it needs! Because of this, I’m embracing the idea of slow design and letting it play out with small changes along the way. Right now, the balance feels really good to me, so I wanted to share a resource list similar to this one I did for our living room in case you’re curious about where anything has come from. Once my new site launches, we’re going to have an entire section dedicated to the cabin and where you can shop to get the look! Until then, I hope you find this recap helpful. Now, onto the details of our cabin dining room and why I chose these pieces!
