photo via emilieeats.com It’s (officially) Fall, ya’ll!! And crazy enough, it has actually felt like it here in South Carolina this week! It normally stays hot here until the end of November, but I’ve been loving the surprise cold front! I’ve been dressing for Fall for weeks now, and it’s so nice to get dressed without sweating (ha!) Anyway, ya’ll know how much I love cooking and trying new recipes, so switching gears a bit today – I’ve been all over...

We’ve all been spending more time than ever at home this year, and with all the stress and craziness going on, it’s so important to take care of ourselves! I’ve been incorporating a little “self care Sunday” pampering into my weekly routine and it’s been such a great way to end the week on a relaxed note, and go into the new week feeling refreshed and energized. I’ve put together some of my favorite ways to create a luxurious spa...

Happy Monday, everyone! If you watch my Instagram stories then you’ve probably seen that each Monday I like to share 5 goals that I want to accomplish that week. There are so many benefits to setting goals, both short and long term: they give you focus and motivation, reduce procrastination, and help measure progress. Plus it’s so satisfying to achieve them! After getting some feedback from people who love the idea of weekly goals, but aren’t sure where to start...

I’ve officially jumped on the quarantine baking bandwagon – it was only a matter of time, right? As much as I love cooking though, baking is not my expertise. I’ve never been a fan of measuring when I cook, and baking is all about exact measurements. It almost feels like a science, which was never my favorite subject in school 😉 Well I’m starting with baby steps here, and this recipe is SUPER easy! If I can do it, anyone...

Good morning, friends! It seems like most people (who work a desk job at least) are starting to work from home this week – my husband is home as of today which will be an adjustment for both of us.

One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is test out new recipes, and since we recently got an air fryer I am learning that there is a whole new world of possibilities! These soft pretzel bites are my latest creation and they turned out SO good!! Pretzel bites are the perfect snack, and great for a crowd – just set out some cheese dip, spicy mustard, or Nutella to dip them in! If you want to make...

Granada was the second stop of our Europe trip, and it turned out to be our favorite city – sorry, Paris!! If you aren’t familiar with Granada, it’s a city in southern Spain famous for its history and especially the Alhambra. I’ll be honest: Granada was not on my radar. The main reason we went was because my brother was studying abroad there and we wanted to visit him for Thanksgiving – we were not expecting to fall in love...

About a year ago, Tula launched a product called the Glow & Get It Eye Balm, and to say it was a hit would be a HUGE understatement. This product sold out within days of launching and quickly became one of the most popular products from their entire line of skin care products. What’s so great about it? Like all Tula products, the eye balm is made from probiotic and superfood ingredients that are so good for your skin!...

It’s no secret that Amazon has stepped up their clothing game over the last few years – pretty much all of the blog’s top sellers of 2019 were Amazon finds. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to try their activewear, but I finally ordered some pieces! New workout clothes always motivate me to get into the gym, and even better when they come with an affordable price tag. I’ve been testing these out over the last couple...
