A Good Read:

Stanley Tucci’s memoir feels like sitting down at the table with an old friend who has incredible stories to share.

From his Italian-American roots to his Hollywood career, he weaves together personal memories, hilarious anecdotes, and some delicious recipes. It’s warm, witty, and the perfect read for anyone who loves food and a good laugh.

Founders Doing Good:

Olive oil—an essential for every homecooked meal, family gathering, and moment shared over fresh bread.

This holiday season, treat yourself to Exau Olive Oil—a premium Italian olive oil from a family-run grove in Calabria.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Skyler and Giuseppe, Exau is the result of nearly a century of olive-growing tradition. Giuseppe’s family has cultivated olives along Calabria’s Ionian coast for almost 100 years, ensuring every bottle reflects their deep-rooted expertise.

Each fall, they harvest and press the fruit from their groves, often giving us a glimpse behind-the-scenes via Instagram. I’m lucky to call Skylar and Giuseppe friends! They’re genuine, passionate, and deeply committed to creating exceptional olive oil and fostering meaningful connections.

P.S. Their olive oil gift sets make perfect holiday presents, and they’ve recently released a book, The Olive Oil Enthusiast—for the master chefs and food lovers in your life.

Intentional Habit:

Write daily or weekly gratitude lists.

What: Set aside 5 minutes to write down five things you're grateful for in a notebook or app. They can be simple (a cozy home, hot tea) or more impactful (a loving family, a healthy mind and body, etc.)

Why: Practicing gratitude shifts your mindset to appreciate what you have and all the little things in life that we often take for granted. Gratitude lists can also help reduce stress, improve mood, and strengthen your overall mental well-being.

Regularly practicing gratitude can help you feel happier and emotionally balanced.
