Editors are natural curators. Our raison d’être is to sift through mountains of the ordinary to find nuggets of brilliance, and to deliver that to our readers.

It’s another summer scorcher—but it’s never too hot for a breezy beach picnic, says Felicia Ramirez, owner of The Magical Table, which specializes in picnics, gatherings, proposals, micro weddings, and event styling. At right, Ramirez shares heat-friendly tips for your next picnic. (themagicaltablepb.com) Plan your menu: A baguette with slices of mozzarella cheese and heirloom tomato makes for a fancy snack that’s filling and easy to bring.
