These upcoming weeks are going to be very interesting. Dj is in Japan for work, my friends are visiting their families for Easter, and I’m trying to figure out ways to keep myself busy. I’ve never been the best at being alone; I get bored EXTREMELY quickly. Take, for example, that it is only Saturday night & Dj and my friends have only been gone for…
It’s hard to believe that summer is already creeping up upon us. When it comes to this sun-kissed season, I’m obsessed with everything about it. The sunshine, the sand, salt water hair, naturally pink cheeks, margaritas.. I could go on an on! To get a jump-start on all-things-summer, I thought I’d put together a post of all my favorite summer go-to body products. Best part?…
I’ve talked many times about how big of a sweet tooth I have. The love I have for chocolate is crazy! If I could, I would eat extra chocolate chip, gooey cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (I just caught myself daydreaming there…) HOWEVER, when it comes to sweets, I’m all about modifications, not about limitations. If I tell myself I can’t have something, it’s all…
Last night while contemplating dinner ideas, I was stumped. I needed to go grocery shopping after work, so I knew that I needed something quick to throw together with minimal ingredients. After searching around Pinterest for inspiration and saw this recipe for hummus crusted chicken, I became immediately interested. I lovvve hummus, I love easy recipes, and better yet- this recipe was ready to go in…
Isn’t Mother Nature funny? Turning the weather from low 30′s to low 80′s in 5 days time is pretty crazy. With the constant fluctuating heat, it’s important to stay hydrated. This week, one of my best friends, Danielle & her boyfriend Max are visiting us! They spent all day at the beach and I met up with them later at the pool when I got off…
I have a bit of an obsession with glitter. When I was in middle school, I tried out using various glitter eye shadow, eye liner, belts, you name it, I had it. Since then, I’ve toned down my amount of glitter body accessories, and moved on to the more age appropriate accessories (koozies, accent nails, subtle picture frames, and now, KEYS!) I have a bunch of…
Weekends for us typically consist of eating out a lot. Wanting to give my bank account a break, I decided to challenge myself to use the weekends to try out new recipes I’ve been storing away and calculate just how much that ended up saving me! I live in Florida, but am originally from California. I have a ton of family out West & one of…
I have the biggest obsession with my arm jewelry right now and felt the need to share! Simple, classic, gold accessories have been my latest outfit staple lately. There is something that is just so eye catching to me about uniquely timeless jewelry. (For example, the weaving on this watch band) Love/Hope/Joy Bracelet: (old) Fossil Watch: Here! Alex and Ani bangle: Here! If you haven’t…
