Podcasts about Little Joy

Nonalcoholic cocktails. Are they something to endure during months like Dry January? Or are they legitimately impressive feats of mixology that deserve respect any month of the year?I visited Philip Ross, Beverage Director of The Lonely Oyster Group, at The Lonely Oyster to discuss how he goes about conceptualizing an NA program that doesn't just appease those who'd rather forego alcohol but delivers an entirely unique experience that's worth checking out in and of itself. Look, I'm gonna be honest, I've been an outspoken critic of NA cocktails. My wife ordered quite a few during the month of January and it was hard not to feel like we were being fleeced for expensive juice. Speaking with Philip gave me a new perspective on the trend. But did he sway me enough to order one next time I'm out on the town? Listen to find out. Helpful links:The Lonely Oyster https://thelonelyoyster.com/Little Joy https://littlejoy.la/

Welcome to episode 100. We hosted a live show to celebrate at Little Joy Cocktails in Echo Park, and what you're about to hear is the recording of said live show. Father Sal and I were joined by Eater's Mona Holmes to run through the headlines of the day and to play a round of Chef's Kiss Big Miss. We debuted the first-ever LA Food Pod quiz - big thanks and sincere apologies to David Turkell of Turk's Pizza Party for participating. And, finally, we had a conversation with Jackson Kalb of Ospi, Jemma, and Top Chef fame, on running a restaurant in today's tricky economic environment, among other things.  But first, Father Sal joins me for some slightly indulgent navel-gazing on what this podcast means to us, and we also quickly touch on some exciting events we attended this week, including a very insightful panel discussion on restaurant PR and marketing hosted by New School, and a comedy show presented by none other than former Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi.  Helpful links: Mona Holmes https://www.instagram.com/monaeats/?hl=en Jackson Kalb https://www.instagram.com/jacksonkalb/?hl=en Ospi https://ospi.com/venice Jemma https://jemmarestaurants.com/ Little Joy https://littlejoy.la/ The LA Food Pod Live Show was produced by: Robert Haleblian https://www.instagram.com/robert_haleblian/?hl=en -- Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! https://thelonelyoyster.com/ – Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

Having come from a family background in budget hotels, Carina Lukito began as a serial entrepreneur in the consumer goods & services space. Instances of malnutrition amongst her nieces specifically propelled her to cofound Little Joy, which is Indonesia's fastest-growing Mom and Baby brand for "the first 1,000 days of a child." Nearly 1 of 3 babies is malnourished, and there is still a ~50% child mortality rate under one year old. Stunting moreover among Indonesia's children remains high. The platform is comprised of four components: Joyi World, MomsJoy, Dapur Little Joy and LittleJoyEdu, all designed to meet the holistic needs of Indonesia's 15m babies and 24m pregnant & lactating mothers. Little Joy leverages big data to do everything from optimizing baby food formulations to customizing advice for expectant and new moms. While Little Joy seeks to trump Indonesia's longstanding brands by addressing the unique needs of the latest generation of mothers, "ensuring the efficient and timely distribution of our product to every corner of the country" remains the company's most complex endeavor.

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 98 of Life On the Brink!I've been rediscovering my love for cooking yet again, this time as a way to ground and stabilize myself, but also to explore creativity and welcome new fall flavors.

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 95 of Life On the Brink!I'm so excited for today's episode, as it's inspired by a delightful book that focuses on the art of designing one's home while speaking to my Francophile heart. The book is “Home Sweet Maison: The French Art of Making a Home” by Danielle Postel-Vinay, and what a delight it is!  Much about the French way of living aligns with what I try to emphasize here at Life On the Brink: the celebration of the everyday, finding comfort in curated rituals, and emphasis on conversation and culture, among others. To that end, I have carefully combed through this book, making note of the things that I either have already enjoyed in my home or am now inspired to incorporate as I continue to renovate and decorate.This episodes includes:-ways to highlight the living and cooking spaces-embracing the joy of mealtime rituals-living with both thrift and luxury-new organization techniques-ways to connect your home to those in itPlus, this week's Little Joy (actually two!) are the season premiers of some fantastic summer shows, and I'm sharing a classic French album to bring a whimsical atmosphere to your home.For the complete show notes, click here!For full transcript, click here!Site: lifeonthebrink.liveSocial: @anna_on_the_keys

Hello hello, welcome to Episode 91 of Life On the Brink!Today I return to the podcast after a week of playing music on the road! Naturally, the past week has been so interesting and so different from my usual routine of garden-tending and grocery shopping, and the change of pace has re-introduced some very important aspects of living well that I sometimes forget about.

Hello hello, welcome to Episode 84 of Life On the Brink!During the winter season, there are some rituals that become even more essential, and I often find skincare becoming a higher priority. As spring approaches, it's a wonderful time to look at your skincare routine to help determine what's working for you and to pay attention to what your skin needs.Our skin is just one part of our external selves, but I can personally attest that when my face is clear and glowy, I carry a bit more confidence knowing that I'm literally putting my best face forward. In this episode I'm talking all about:-the four main steps of a facial skin care routine-affordable products that have served me well -skin care changes to consider in the upcoming season-embracing your natural beautyPlus, this week's Little Joy is inspired by new house (!!!), and I have an album of lively jazz that sets just the right mood.For the complete show notes, click here!For full transcript, click here!Site: lifeonthebrink.liveSocial: @anna_on_the_keys

Hello hello, welcome to Episode 82 of Life On the Brink!I love cooking, and the organization of my kitchen has always been a priority, especially since the space is quite small. Though I'm creative with the storage, I've really had to prioritize what I keep in my small kitchen. Of course, there are the pots and pans, knives and cutting boards, cooking utensils and baking dishes, but I've also made room for a few more specialized tools. Now, I know that these days there's a gadget for absolutely every cooking task imaginable, most of which I deem entirely unnecessary. There are a few interesting pieces of cookware, though, that have remained staples in this tiny kitchen and are definitely going to be prioritized in our new home.In this episode I'm sharing my Top 10 kitchen "gadgets," along with a few timeless pieces that I have yet to try.Plus, this week's Little Joy is a return to a classic comfort drink, and I have a playlist for romanticizing your time in the kichen.For the complete show notes, click here!For full transcript, click here!Site: lifeonthebrink.liveSocial: @anna_on_the_keys

Hello hello, welcome to Episode 80 of Life On the Brink!While it's not uncommon for us to need a few sick days during the winter, I think that probably most of our "rough days" aren't due to physical illness or ailment, but rather a mental and emotional place.  It's very easy to get in our own heads, to overthink and overanalyze, becoming overwhelmed. The winter season, or perhaps a new transition or challenge, can certainly make things a little more tricky. Sound familiar?Well, friend, you are not alone, and while this podcast is a place where we consistently examine and adjust and reflect upon our lives in order to better cherish our everyday lives, sometimes we need a little extra help. In this episode I'm sharing:-how to approach a day when you feel overwhelmed-simple ways to bring a bit of comfort to your day-things that have personally helped me (even this week!) in themidst of a big transition-reminders to be kind to yourselfPlus, this week's Little Joy is my new comfort show, and I'm sharing an album of winter-inspired music that is gentle and sweet.For the complete show notes, click here!For full transcript, click here!Site: lifeonthebrink.liveSocial: @anna_on_the_keys
