BY CHELSEA DAVIS   Hosting is an art. Going to a well planned party where everything is masterfully curated from the table runner, centerpiece and plates to the food itself never fails to impress. Aesthetics aside, we can all agree that entertaining isn’t easy and is a skillset that not every one has. Making sure your guests are having a good time, conversation is flowing and people mingling and happy is, honestly, stressful. So why make things harder on yourself? Enter: Hestia Harlow, your one-stop-shop for everything needed to create a lavish dinner party experience. From tablescapes, plates, wine glasses, and...

BY CANDICE GEORGIADIS    Our tagline is “Joy is not Postponed”. Covid has done a great job of taking away our ability to plan- events, concerts, vacations, reunions, weddings. So we are trying to make sure that Joy is still active in our homes. A simple Tuesday meal or a celebratory Sunday supper, or an important milestone should not be postponed. As part of my series on the “5 Things You Can Do To Help Your Living Space Spark More Joy”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Marielle Shortell & Andrew Shortell of Hestia Harlow.

BY BONNIE MCCARTHY    After eight months and counting, our inability to participate in rituals both happy and sad is likely to make many of us yearn for turkey and trimmings, dreidels and latkes, tamales and pozole — with family and friends. But the pandemic is still very much with us, which is why the California Department of Public Health and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health recently released mandatory guidelines for safely celebrating the most social time of the year. The main tenets include gathering with no more than three separate households (including the hosts themselves) in...

BY EMMA BAZILIAN    Your Instagram-worthy dreams are about to come true. When it comes to my decor hoarding tendencies, almost nothing is off limits—I could spend hours going down a rabbit hole in search of a tissue box cover or drawer pull. But tabletop is a different matter. Perhaps due to the limits imposed by my New York apartment (complete with a tiny table and general lack of storage), amassing a proper collection of "nice" dishes, linens, and serving pieces has never been at the top of my priority list. Lately, though, with so many of us relegated to...
