I realize not alllll of you have Instagram [although I'm extremely obsessed with it and don't understand how not everyone can not be ;) ], so I thought I'd share with you all some of my simple go-to's I typically reserve for my Insta! I have a bit of an obsession with oatmeal. Umm, do you recall this chocolate peanut butter cup or this chocolate covered strawberry recipe???…
Have you ever had one of those weeks that are just kind of.... blah? I have a lot going on in my life recently, both personally as well as professionally that I need to find a balance between. I'm 98% of the time an extremely positive person, but sometimes you just need some extra motivation to get yourself going. I've been playing around a lot with…
Happy Friday! Last weekend I crossed #7 off my bucket list & went to Miami! Let me just say, Miami lifestyle is one that would be hard to get used to. I think I slept a total of 4 hours, so I'm quite excited for some quality TLC time with my bed this weekend ;) On Saturday I'm going wedding dress shopping with my friend Lauren…
Have you ever had one of those nights where you just have no idea what to make for dinner so you just stare helplessly in the fridge? That was me last night, but something amazing came out of it! I really love making stuffed foods. Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers? Yes! Cheesecake Stuffed Gingerbread Cookies? Why not! For one, they're generally healthier. By adding the filling to…
This weekend was all about salt in the air & sand in our hair! If you follow me on Instagram [which you really should! ;) ] you would have seen that we went down to Miami Beach for the weekend. I've only been to South Beach once with my college roommate, Aubrey, but that was when we were 20 years old, and I knew I had…
The middle of summer is good for a lot of things. Pools, BBQs, beach vacays, longer days... I could go on and on; summer, I am definitely a fan of you! One thing that I love in the summer time is fresh peaches. Sure, I can eat a peach in the winter and be content, but there is something just so magical about a peach in…
This past weekend's sparkler fun! When thinking of Friday's does anyone else automatically get that awful, yet extremely catchy Rebecca Black song stuck in their heads? I'm excited to share with you all how the 21 Day Fix is going next week (spoiler alert- it's not all positive!) This past week & a half, Djs been visiting his family in Philly so I've been able to…
When I was younger, one thing I would look forward to is driving up to my grandparent's house in beautiful Oregon. I would still love that, but being located in Florida just makes the drive a tad longer than from California ;) My grandma is hands down the best baker. She makes everything from scratch- including my all time favorite thing- PIE! I always knew that…
