Easy Valentine’s Gifts under $130 that she will ADORE! I have put together the perfect list of 10 girly, cozy, feminine gifts that wives, fiancées, and girlfriends will appreciate more than the typical chocolate and roses (although I recommend getting those too…)

I didn’t make any crazy huge resolutions for the New Year…mostly they were just goals of working on creating a home, and making the most out of the living situations I am in, etc. However, a phrase that has come up in my mind time and time again has been “cozy vibes only”…

When I started dating Joseph, I knew I was going to be trying mountain biking at some point. Now that I’m over half a year into my mountain bike journey, I feel like I can share with you all my thoughts on the sport…

The day finally arrived! 3.12.22 has seemed forever on the horizon, but after months of patience, hard work, and excitement, March 12th became a reality. Joseph and I tied the knot at 1:30pm in the afternoon, under the oak trees in the small mountain town of Oak Glen, California…

Growing up, I always thought my wedding would be a huge affair, with hundreds of people, in a beautiful old church, with a reception in a huge historic mansion ballroom, or something… I cannot even begin to tell you how that idea has done a complete 180 in the last year or so, and definitely since I fell in love…

Hello from sunny California! It is strange coming back to the state of my childhood after all these years, knowing that it is now my home once again…

This gift guide is all about natural…stones, woods, cottons, leathers…and I am loving it! Enjoy shopping for the moms, daughters, grandmas, and girlfriends in your life…

It’s my favorite time of the year!! I am so ready for all the Christmas music, good cheer, cozy vibes, and snowfall that the holiday season has to offer! One of the gifts I give over and over again because I love it so much, is L.A. Burdick Chocolates…

A wedding date has finally been settled on, and it feels like things are finally switching into high gear when it comes to planning the wedding. The first big step for me was getting organized…

Let the craziness of wedding planning begin! Seriously, though, I am so excited for this season of life when I get to plan my wedding, something I have always dreamed of and been excited about since I was a little girl…

So, some things have happened while I’ve been away…

You read the title correct…this really is a recipe for brown butter toasted coconut toffee chocolate chip cookies. It is one delicious mouthful. I dreamed up the idea for this recipe for my mom for Mother’s Day, because she has always been a sucker for chocolate chip cookies, and I wanted to make her something special for her special day…

I feel alive this time of the year; ready to be ready for anything. I recently joined a local gym and started personal training twice a week. So, I am making health and wellness the focus of this month’s favorites…

Even touching on the topic of adventure…it’s kind of funny to me. I was that timid, shy, kid who, as a toddler, had a perpetual worried look on my face, and was scared of almost everything. So now, sitting here as a 27 year old, trying to live life as adventurously as possible, with a little streak of adrenaline junkie in me…how can I possibly be the same person?…

There is something a bit romantic about peeling off the flannel sheets, tucking them away in the closet, and replacing them with the fresh, lavender scented cotton sheets for spring! It’s really very satisfying, and feels like a bit of a rebirth in the bedroom…

I am not a coffee drinker, so I drink hot chocolate instead. It’s hard to find a good hot chocolate at restaurants and coffee shops, but this simple, easy recipe, you can make at home, and will be 10x better than the ones you can buy…

Welcome to a new blog series I am calling “My Favorites”! This will be a monthly blog post where I round up a few of my favorite fashion picks, products, books, movies, etc. for that month…

A layer of snow covering the ground, and a roaring fire in the fire pit. Woodsmoke mixed with the sounds of Henry Mancini wafting through the air. 15 degree temps, and hot cheese boiling away in the pot. Pretzels hanging from a stand, and a Toblerone at every place. THIS is how you throw a Fondue party in the winter…

Every year I have a good list of movies that I watch in the winter, and in the winter only. Any movies that have snow scenes, ski scenes, and the cozy feels that I love are on this list…

I am not the biggest New Year resolution list maker, but this year I had a few things in mind that I want to be better at, and I thought I would share those in this post. Let’s make 2021 the year where we get excited for what the future holds, and start making plans again…
