October is Pet Wellness Month! For all the pet parents out there, I am doing a segment on KTLA to share some of the brand-new essentials from the Amazon-exclusive pet brand, Lesure. All of these products are intended to help pet parents create a safe and cozy space for their fur baby to rest, as…
There are certain trends from the 80s and 90s that I dreaded coming back into fashion. One of those was bodysuits. Honestly, I’ve always struggled with bodysuits because I have a long torso. I always found them to be very uncomfortable because they would ride up so much. What I’ve found is that I actually…
This Halloween brownies post is sponsored by Betty Crocker. All opinions are my own. It’s spooky season and we’re gearing up for one of my favorite holidays. I absolutely love Halloween and all of the festive treats that go along with it. I’m so excited to show you how to create these adorable and…
I recently got this bright blue pleated dress for an upcoming trip. I thought it would be so photogenic against the old city. But I also realized this is the perfect addition to my wardrobe because this dress is quite versatile. This dress will look great styled in at least a few ways. If you’ve…
When was the last time you did something nice for someone? Do you remember that warm and fuzzy feeling it gave you? Acts of service and being kind to others actually does just as much good for the doer as for the recipient. That’s because kindness is contagious. Researchers at UCLA have found that if…
The other day, I was looking back at photos from high school (for this TikTok video), and I sat there for a second. I couldn’t believe how much I actually loved my hair. Ok, not the styles, but the quality, the texture, and the shine! It looked so full and healthy. I didn’t realize just…
Athleisure is here to stay. I remember talking to a friend recently about how casual Americans dress compared to other parts of the world. (We are headed to South America soon, and the vibe is much dressier down there). But even if other places require a lot more dressed-up looks, here in the U.S., people…
Blackberries are one of my favorite fruits. Honestly, I’m not a huge fruit person, I prefer veggies (is that weird?), but blackberries are definitely one I enjoy. I love the tartness and the firm texture. Although I always eat them raw, I realized I’ve never actually baked with them. I decided it was worth trying…
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with animal print. Honestly, it always makes me think of the older ladies on the Sopranos. It generally gives me – trying to be chic, but actually pretty trashy vibes. But every now and then I love to throw a new animal print piece into my wardrobe. But the…
We’ve been having so much fun designing new Halloween gear using our new Cricut machine. Just last week, I posted about these cute skeleton shoes. I also shared this cute Vampire t-shirt too. We are heading back to Disneyland this weekend, so I thought it would be fun to try making a DIY Halloween t-shirt…
If you’ve followed my blog for any period of time, you know I love dresses, especially sweater dresses. They are one of my wardrobe favorites for fall and winter. I recently got this bodycon midi sweater dress that I think is the absolute perfect addition to my fall wardrobe because it works so well for…
Cricut provided some of the materials to create these shoes and this is part of a sponsored TikTok collaboration. All opinions are my own. Are you looking for a fun and easy Halloween project? Your kids (and family) will love these adorable skeleton shoes. Using my Cricut Maker 3 (gifted from my friends at Cricut),…
Disney Parks invited us to attend Disneyland Halloween Time and Oogie Boogie Bash. All opinions are my own. It is officially Disneyland Halloween time! It is my favorite time of year at Disneyland. I do love Christmas time at Disneyland too, but there is something that feels extra special at Halloween. We were lucky…
I have to admit, I’m usually a little slow to picking up the latest denim trends. Generally, I tend to sit back a while and see what’s going to stick before jumping into a new jean fit. I can distinctly remember when skinny jeans first became popular. For the longest time, I did not want…
You found out your student is in a split grade class or a combination classroom. This might be surprising, exciting or confusing for you as a parent. Your student also might be worried, excited, nervous, or upset. As an educator and a parent of a kid who just entered a split 4th/5th class, and also…
