I always dread summertime. It seems to be everyone else’s favorite season, but I can’t stand it. I already have to manage my hyperhidrosis year-round (likely due to my high anxiety levels) so the addition of high temperatures and humidity to the mix makes me ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. Over the past couple of decades I’ve discovered…
I am currently working on educating myself on white privilege (which I am ashamed to admit I was fairly oblivious to in my life) and making the effort to become a better ally to the Black community. Going forward I will be sharing anti-racist resources that I find informative (+ other ways to be a…
I mentioned this incredible app in a previous Friday Finds post, but I decided that I should dig a little deeper to show you guys how freaking useful this app is! I don’t know about you, but I often struggle with getting dressed in the morning because I feel like I have “nothing to wear” even…
One of my favorite holiday traditions is having a Christmas movie night! There are so many fun Christmas movies (Home Alone 1 & 2, Love Actually, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Santa Clause, The Holiday, Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, Jingle All the Way, etc.)…
This is my favorite way to repurpose leftover Thanksgiving turkey! I used this slider recipe as a guide (mostly for oven temperature and cook time), but we ended up modifying the recipe to make it work for our ingredients. There are so many ways to make Thanksgiving leftover sliders depending on what sides you have…
Believe it or not, I love shopping during the holidays. Well, e-shopping, anyway. 😅 Crawling the mall when it’s insanely busy is actually my personal nightmare (I have PTSD from working plenty of Black Friday / holiday shifts when I had a job in retail… lol). As much as I enjoy shopping during the holidays,…
Merry Christmas, friends!! I know that many of you are getting your Christmas trees this weekend so I thought I would share a few items that we love for our Christmas tree in case you’re looking for similar items to decorate your tree! We collect our own ornaments that we grab while on a trip…
It should go without saying that we should be shopping from small businesses year-round. We “vote” with our money and if we’re just handing it over to Jeff Bezos via Amazon, then there’s little hope for mom and pop businesses to survive. I think there’s a time and place for buying from Amazon and I’d…
Like so much of 2020, the holiday season is looking quite different this year. We typically spend Thanksgiving with our family (alternating years between my relatives and my husband’s relatives), but due to quarantine restrictions this year we’ll be spending the day together just the two of us. While an intimate holiday meal for two…
Following up from my Peloton Review — we’ve had our Peloton stationary bike for a few months now (which I can’t believe — time flies)! Now that we’ve spent a decent amount of time with the bike, I wanted to share some of my favorite cycling rides, instructors, tips, and gear with you so keep…
I look forward to “Pumpkin Spice Season” all year! I’m a huge fan of the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew that Starbucks rolled out last year — it’s absolutely delicious! I’m rarely in the mood for a hot drink until the temperatures drop below ~40°F, so the pumpkin cold brew is the perfect option right now….
Happy Prime Day 2020! I just wanted to share some of my favorite items that are on amazing sale today so you can take advantage of the deals if you’ve been shopping for any of these items (or are trying to get a jump on holiday gifts this year)! This list consists mostly of items…
I can’t believe that my blog is turning two today! I started this space because I absolutely love sharing things with everyone that I meet — it’s truly my great pleasure to help others and hopefully making their lives better / easier! Any time I find a cool product or a life hack that has…
