I’ve shared my desire to be a better gift giver over the years, and let me tell you, it’s an ongoing process. Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 11, and I’ve found that 90% of being a better gift giver is planning well ahead of time. So today I’m reminding you to get those gifts...

Last week, my friend Sarah texted: “I’m having people over this weekend, and I have NO CLUE what to make! Help.” Thankfully, I knew what to tell her—the exact menu I’ve made for countless dinner parties around this time of year. It’s my secret weapon: delicious, mostly make-ahead, and foolproof enough to pull off even...

  Does honey go bad or expire? The short answer is: It depends. You’ve probably heard the story where archaeologists uncovered an ancient Egyptian tomb and found 3000 year old jars of honey still edible and perfectly preserved. Sounds unbelievable, right? But it’s totally true. Honey’s shelf-stability is pretty amazing. But there are times you’ll...

After four months alcohol-free, I started my “soberish” chapter in early March. It began as unceremoniously as it ended—no dramatic moment, just a quiet shift. Since then, it’s been going well: a drink or two a week. Dinner parties now wrap up with one glass of wine, a feat I never thought possible. What’s made...

There’s something special about a powder bath done right. Though often tiny, it’s one space in a home where guests pause and notice the details. And unlike other rooms where function often takes precedence, a powder bath is an opportunity to create an experience—a compact moment of calm where every material can shine. When we...

Shopping your own closet makes style easier and cheaper. These specific pieces, all pulled from previous Getups, don’t just look...

I see such a deep connection between our interior lives and the way physical movement creates space—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Movement has been the foundation of my healing journey, and while my body may look different than it did a few years ago, it’s just a small reflection of the deep...

Each year, I take a few days to pause, reflect, and get intentional about what I want for the months ahead. It’s become a ritual I look forward to, not only because it helps me set goals, but because it’s a moment to really check in with myself. I ask: What do I want my...

Most men own sharp clothes they barely see. Swap the hiding spots for prime real estate, flood your sightlines with the good stuff, and fresh outfit ideas will appear before the coffee finishes brewing. “Hi Andrew, do you have anything that talks about the best way to organize a closet? What to hang, what to...

I love having a closed-concept home.To me, a closed-concept home means that (in most cases) there isn’t a direct view from one main living space to the next. Rooms are separated by either a wall, a door, or an archway. In our home, while there is a view from the entryway to the sitting room...
