Have you heard of swiss dot dresses? Until I started researching this post to accompany my new favorite black dress, I hadn’t heard the term either. But to my surprise, I found so many lovely dresses that all used the term swiss dot dresses. It’s clearly a fashion term that is consistently used for clothing that have monochromatic dots on… View Post
Do your kids and family like sloppy joes? I realized, recently, that my kids had never had sloppy joes! The thing is, I don’t really like traditional sloppy joes. For me, they are too sweet and I don’t like ketchup. I know, I’m weird. I don’t like a lot of condiments. But sloppy joes are a family staple, so I… View Post
If you had told me I’d be rocking combat boots in 2020 I would have laughed at you. I haven’t worn Doc Martens since high school. In high school, they were the shoes. I literally owned 5 pairs, at least. And I loved them so much. I had the shoe kind, the boot kind, and even the sandal kind. They were… View Post
I received complimentary Bellami ktip hair extensions from Hair by Maribel, owner of Sabino Salon. All opinions are my own. Have you heard of ktip hair extensions? I hadn’t until about two months ago. I’d been thinking about trying hair extensions for a couple of years. I tried tape-in hair extensions a few years ago, but I really didn’t like… View Post
Thank you, Visit Seattle, for sponsoring this post about things to do in Seattle with kids. All opinions are my own. In December, I was lucky enough to get to bring my family to Seattle. Visit Seattle created an amazing itinerary for us and we got to experience a lot of really neat things. We stayed at the lovely Loews… View Post
So here’s some real talk. Before I tried it, I believed every stereotype of Soul Cycle. I was sure it was somewhere between a religion and a cult and I was sure all of the people would be superficial and full of themselves. I was sure I wouldn’t fit in because I’m not super skinny and I definitely wouldn’t only… View Post
It’s February! I can’t believe one month of 2020 is already behind us. Although it does feel like Christmas was way more than a month ago, I also can’t believe it’s almost spring, at least in LA! I’m trying to enjoy these cooler temps for a little longer and that’s where this gorgeous turtleneck midi dress comes in. This dress… View Post

If you pay any attention to fashion, I bet you’ve seen animal print midi slip skirts have officially infiltrated fashion, lately. It’s like everywhere I look, I see a girl wearing an animal print silk skirt. You know the one I’m talking about. It’s the one in traditional animal print with a brown base and black spots. And I love… View Post
I received complimentary access to the FWTFL program in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own. I just completed the second week of the FWTFL program so I wanted to share my experience and what I’ve learned this week. This isn’t quite two weeks for me, as the first week I started a bit late. I was also… View Post
Thank you, Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. For my birthday, I wanted to do something special. I was hoping to do something super tropical or exotic, but time and resources didn’t allow anything as grand as I envisioned. But, the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa agreed to host me,… View Post
Last week, I shared with you that I started the FWTFL plan. One of the things I love most about the plan is the focus on whole nutrition. Focusing on whole grains, like quinoa, healthy proteins, like ground turkey, and fresh fruits and veggies. This turkey quinoa meatloaf recipe fits perfectly into the plan and a well-balanced diet. I’ve always… View Post
Have you noticed a major trend right now is two piece outfits with matching tops and skirts? I wasn’t sure how I felt about this trend, in general, but there is something really easy about matching pieces. When I received this outfit, I honestly didn’t love it at first. I thought it was a bit odd. But then I wore… View Post
I received access to the FWTFL Program in exchange for my Faster Way to Fat Loss review. All opinions are my own. About a year ago, one of my blogger friends kept talking about the FWTFL program in her Instagram stories. I was intrigued, but not enough to pay the registration fee. Despite not pulling the trigger last year, I’m… View Post
Every Christmas Eve, my mom made this authentic Italian lasagna recipe. It was one of our family traditions that I’ve since carried on to my family. This year, I made a few batches and even shared one with a dear friend who doesn’t have family in town. It makes me feel good to carry on some of my family traditions,… View Post
