Salt of the Earth...

I'll pick salty over sweet any day of the week. I recently came across these fantastic Himalayan salt bricks - they're hand-cut blocks of translucent pink salts that can be used on the grill or in the over. I love the idea of grilling veggies on these...

Which got me thinking of other tasty salt finds that I love, including this Sal de Ibiza 100 % sea salt harvested on the island of Ibiza {love the packaging}

This simple salt box is handcrafted from North American Maple...

And this Le Pere Pelletier French Gardner Sea Salt was specially formulated for using with cooked and raw veggies and blends sea salt with parsley, garlic, tarragon and chervil. Delicious to look at and taste...

I love that the Simple Diary has quirky little questions, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks and other simple things that make keeping a diary simple and easy...

One Day...

I just finished reading One Day by David Nicholls, a story that takes place during a single day - July 15th - each year for two decades in the lives of Dex and Em. From the minute I picked up this book, I was completely in love with it. Absorbing, moving, funny, smart - it's just a fantastic read. I felt emotionally attached and a true sense of nostalgia reading it, as though these are people I could easily have known. I could not put this book down...
