Hey there! So - I love to bake. I used to pamper my little puppy Khloe (she's a long haired mini-doxie) A LOT more than she's currently being pampered. Don't get me wrong - she still lives a pretty sweet life. But ever since Kenzi was born she's been... not AS spoiled. Well... it was time for that to change! So I decided to make her some homemade cookies - just in time for Valentine's day. Ingredients 1/2 cup canned pumpkin1/2 cup creamy natural peanut ... View the Post
Lemon + Water
I don't drink coffee, soda, or really anything other than water and the occasional juice. Before you start singing my praises - I don't drink pop because I can't handle the carbonation. I don't drink coffee because I can't stand the taste. So... I sort of make healthy drinking choices by default. But I'll take it! One of the drinks I LOVE to drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is hot lemon water with a bit of honey. I have this amazing little portable lemon squeezer / cup ... View the Post
A proper ‘thank you’
When I look back over the past two years of my life I am completely overwhelmed by the amazing community of people - both near and far - that supported me and my family through prayer, acts of kindness, money, watching and protecting Kenzi, the giving of time and so much more! The cards you see above are all of the cards that were given to me and my family during some of our darkest days. I've said thank you to everyone already, but it just doesn't seem like enough - so I needed to ... View the Post
Yummy Boba Tea Recipe
Boba tea is one of my favorite drinks. While I love drinking bubble tea, I don’t exactly like the ones sold in bubble tea shops because they contain a lot of sugar and additives. So - I make it at home. All you need is tapioca pearls, milk, a sweetener of your choice and of course tea! I typically use jasmine tea to start with - you want it to be a really strong tasting tea. Pick your favorite! For the pearls I use these from Amazon. They cook really quick - the texture isn't as amazing ... View the Post
Face mask time!
Do you love face masks as much as me? The first time I actually used a face mask was in the hospital. My hair was just starting to grow out, and all my girlfriends drove in to come see me and pamper me. I was on a lot of pain meds at that time - so my memory is a little blurry. The one thing I do remember is this amazing gold mask they brought. After they took my mask off I was literally glowing! I was hooked. I'm currently looking at some clean beauty masks - but in the meantime I found ... View the Post
My go-to eye makeup routine
I need to confess something to y'all. I'm not a makeup artist! Phew! There. I said it - it's off my chest! Haha! But in all seriousness - I have about as much skill with applying makeup as a middle schooler does. It's never been my forte - but surprisingly I've had many of y'all reach out asking me the products I use, and how I apply it. So - here goes nothing! For my eyeshadow I use the Naked 2 eye shadow palette. I love this palette so much because it has so many different shades ... View the Post
