I love trying new cocktails and coming up with new ones with whatever I have laying around the house. I’m no expert and don’t really understand measurements, but damn can I make a good cocktail. For spring week, I knew I wanted to do something that was bright, fresh and fruity and sweet.
I also really wanted this to be easy to make and made with ingredients that you could easily find in the store or probably even have at home. I get it. No one wants to be searching the liquor store for some ingredient they’ve never heard before only to find to find out that it’s $50 and you need 1 oz of it for ..read more

Who doesn’t love a good white dress in the spring and summer? They are light and airy, make your tan pop and show off your tanned legs. And of course there’s the obvious reason, its bridal season. If you’re in the latter group, you’re likely going to need quite a few white dresses this year, so in IMO it’s better to stock up now before all the good ones are gone. Bridal season or not, I think a little white dress is a staple in every closet. Keep scrolling to shop my round up.

If you live anywhere with snow, you know there’s nothing better than when the weather starts to get warmer, and you can finally swap out those winter sweaters for lighter layers. For transitional seasons, like spring and fall, I think it’s really important to have good staples in your closet because the weather can change daily, and you need to be ready to adjust. For me, it’s all about neutral pieces that can be mix and matched, as well as layered.
For this post, I want to share my spring fashion must-haves. These are timeless pieces that will not only transition into other seasons, but als ..read more

Hi loves!
What a year! Amiright?! I can’t believe I’m pulling together another year of beauty favorites.
If you’re new here, I always do a round up of my top favorite beauty products from the year. These are products that I’ve loved, raved about and repurchased over and over.
Even though I had more “no makeup days” than “makeup days,” I found some new loves and ride or dies I can’t part with.

My cardigan // $100 Tree
It’s the most wonderful time of the year (even during quarantine). I think this year, more than ever, we really need the sparkle and joy that holiday decor brings to your home (which is probably why I put up my decor on Nov. 1. lol!)
My holiday decor style is very neutral. I like to use colors that go with my normal home decor. You won’t find red over here. I also like to keep it pretty simple. I choose a few areas around my house, mostly downstairs, and focus on those areas. Keep reading for my tips on decorating.
I tried to link as much as I could, or find similar i ..read more

The Sephora Fall Beauty Insider Sale is here, and just in time for the holidays! I love to use this sale to stock up on my favorites, but also throw in a new items I’ve had my eye on. I actually like the fall sale better than spring because you can get the holiday gift sets. Gift sets are such a great way to try new products and make great gifts. You can also break them up and make new gifts. For example, get a hand cream and a lip balm gift set and give your friends or coworkers one of each.
