When it comes to weekday mornings, I choose my bed 100% of the time. I always am looking for adding different variations of quick breakfasts to my mix so that I don't get bored, but try to keep it healthy all at the same time! My recent, simplistic go-to that I can whip up in under 5 minutes before heading to work is this Whole Wheat…
If you haven't caught up on my weeks worth of posts yet, Dj's mom & sister came down to Florida to visit! We jammed packed a lot through the 4 days (including our epic trip to Harry Potter World!) and, of course, we had to plan a day trip to St. Augustine. St. Augustine is only about 25 minutes away from us, and is definitely my…
Summer has [almost] officially arrived! When it comes to coffee, I'm a huge fan. Hot, iced, or in popsicle form- I'm all about it. When the weather starts to heat up, you can always find a batch of these homemade Hazelnut Vanilla Coffee Pops in my freezer. I play around a lot with the flavors of these; sometimes making them with plain black coffee, fun newly…
TGIF! Do you have any weekend plans? We're heading out to St. Augustine tonight & are brunching and going to a beach block party tomorrow! If you missed my last link love, you can find that HERE! As I mentioned there, each Friday, you can expect a post on links of any sort that are my “Obsessions of the Week”. I hope you all have a fantastic…
When it comes to dinners, I prefer something that can be quickly thrown together, doesn't require too many ingredients, nor too much time to cook. When you work all day, the last thing you want to do when you get home is throw together a Julia Style's intricate meal (we'll save that for the weekends!) I've also been trying to eat less complex carbs at nights…
Food prepping on Sunday's has quickly turned into a weekly tradition of mine. When working full time and trying to stay social, it's easy to fall behind in your healthy food goals. By making a few go-to meal options that you can easily grab throughout the week, it really helps me stay on track, and also save some money! A few weeks ago, I made Ground…
This past weekend, Dj's mom and sister came down to Jacksonville to visit! All of us are big Harry Potter fans, and it was his mom's birthday, so we knew we had to take a trip down to Orlando and explore the new Harry Potter world at Universal Studios! I haven't been since they've added HP World. Of course, I had to enjoy some butter beer…
Being a blogger, ideas and “blog-post-spiration” comes from talking to friends, reading articles, being active on all social media platforms, and generally finding what interests you, just as much as what captivates the attention of others. One thing that I really love about the blogging community is that we’re able to bounce ideas off each other, and gain inspiration from what others are doing! I’ve been…
Oh hi there; I'm so happy you stumbled upon my sweet corner of the internet! My name is Melissa and I am a 20-something year old lifestyle blogger with a passion for exploring the globe, making healthy spins on popular recipes, all sizes of Golden Doodles, finding fun ways to save money, wishing Joanna Gains was my bff, and living an overall happier/healthier lifestyle. Come [virtually] hang!
