It's my favorite time of year. There's nothing like the crisp autumn air, the warm sun, and a good cup of coffee in hand, as we anticipate the holiday season and all the fun that it brings with it.
It's crunch time for us as we get ready for our big Black Friday Sale on Nov. 29. My team has been working hard assembling products to get everything restocked in time for the sale. (Whenever we run big sales like this. products sell out fast so I recommend making your list now.)
I'm also excited to launch some new products very soon! These have been in the works for a while and I can't wait to get them in your hands. (scroll down for a sneak peak).

Here are 5 things I'm currently digging...
1.
How cool is this glass-walled beach house in New Zealand by MacKay Curtis Architects? I love how the wraparound glass creates the illusion of the floating house.
2.
I’ve been testing out a new automated pour over coffee maker called the xBloom Studio and it's really nice! It has a built-in grinder, scale, and brewer, and is great for single-cup pour overs. You can use their compostable pods or your own beans (my preference) and tweak the recipes through the app. Here's a little video showing it in use. (Full disclosure, they sent me this unit but I’m not being paid to post about it)
3.
I haven't made it yet, but this crispy garlic butter chicken sandwich looks insane.
4.
I stumbled across this jam session by Riccardo Roveda and it's been great focus music while I'm deep in photo editing mode. The Youtube algo is scary good with what it recommends. Here are a couple other live performances I've been enjoying.
5.
Just when you thought you've seen it all, Ian Eisenberg just defied gravity on a slackline. This is wild! 😱
