So, you’re thinking about starting a blog? Good for you! There are a few things to consider, tips and helpful information that I didn’t know about before I began, so I thought I’d share with you my list of things to keep in mind before jumping on this fast-paced blogging train. ;) {This is part 1 of my blogger series! I will be updating you all…
Another awesome thing about Amelia Island is that you're able to drive your car & ride horses right on the beach! Our horses loved one another & walked through the ocean; it was an amazing experience. {If you missed my part 1 Amelia Island recap, you can read it here!} Oh, and guess what? Riding horses on the beach now knocks off my first 2015 Summer Bucket List…
Sometimes, all you need is to get away and refresh your mind. It's been hard to find motivation lately. Whether it is challenging myself at work, working out as much as I'd like to, starting a new book, blog more, not procrastinate to the last minute on grad school assignments, pick up a new hobby... simply everything was just feeling a little "blah" lately. Of course, these ruts…
PSA: The previously known series, "Link Love" has been renamed to "Feel Good Friday". Why, you may ask? Because everyone deserves a little sunshine at the end of their workweek! [& I like to keep it positive around here ;) ] This weekend, Dj and I are headed to Amelia Island, FL! I'm really excited because I will also be ticking off #4 on my 2015…
Let's get honest with each other for a moment, nobody has time to cook crazy meals during the week while working or going to school full time. [Unless you're some super human, like Julia Childs or Blair Waldorf (..I think she's queen of all she does)]. That's where my love for one-panned meals comes in. [You guys remember this Baked Hummus Crusted Chicken, right?] A…
Now that the mid 90's have made themselves comfortable and oh so welcomed, I'm officially in full summer mode. One of my favorite summer food preps is to keep marinated, raw shrimp in my fridge. Shrimp is just one of those staple go-to's that you can't beat. Not only is it versatile in flavors, healthy, and tasty, but it also cooks in 3-5 minutes. (yes, please) In…
TGIF! I hope you all had a fantastic week- mine went by really slowly, which isn't always a bad thing. After last weekends lounge & happy hour fest, I'm ready for all of the activities! So far, my plans include beach volleyball, grilling out by the pool, and pretty much anything that features the sunshine. *Crosses fingers for no rain* Here is a little Friday Link…
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of breakfast meal prepping. It just saves soooo much time, and tbh, who likes to actually get out of bed early on weekday mornings? I've shared with you Egg Muffin Omelets once before (back when I called them "cupcake omelets") but these are packed with completely *new* ingredients [and who doesn't love different variations of recipes? ;) ]…
