Working from home has one major perk—I very rarely need to dress up anymore. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in a corporate setting, so I needed to have a lot of ‘work clothes’. My work uniform the last few years, was a blazer and cropped skinny pants, paired with heels. Although I don’t…
It’s almost Cinco de Mayo! Ever since I first moved to Phoenix in 2004, I’ve been a fan of that day. I mean, it’s another excused to enjoy great Mexican food and yummy drinks with my friends. After living in Boston for awhile, I can honestly say I missed Mexican food the most. Although I…
A few weeks ago, I got to spend less than two days in New Orleans. Although I wish the trip could have been longer, I forgot just how much I adore this city. I also remembered just how much you can do with 36 hours in New Orleans. The first time I went to New…
If you read my fashion posts, you know that one of my fashion goals is to break out of my comfort zone and try new things. I had no idea how to wear paperbag pants before because I was sure they wouldn’t work for me. The pleating seemed like a no-go. Pleats take me right…
Mmmm…cauliflower! So I know there is a whole big movement to replace carbs with cauliflower. But it’s not just hype! It actually totally works. Now, if you’re expecting that cauliflower pizza crust is going to taste EXACTLY like pizza you’ll get at your favorite restaurant, well, then you’re going to be disappointed. But, I still…
Last week, I shared some of my favorite places to visit in LA. Since my sister was in town, we spent 4 days touring around the city and I even got to see a few places I hadn’t been before. However, I also learned there are at least 3 places not to visit in Los…
Vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, multi-colored stripes, they are all majorly on trend for spring. I recently ordered this cute stripe midi dress online (it’s under $50!), but I really doubted it would work on me. See, I generally avoid horizontal stripes at all costs. They tend to make me look wider. However, this dress totally…
Remember as a kid, when you thought Brussels sprouts were totally disgusting? Well, at least I did. I remember watching cartoons and tv shows as a kid, they’d talk about how disgusting Brussels are. Then I grew up, learned how to roast them to perfection, and realized Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables….
Recently, my sister and nephew came to visit us in LA. Since I haven’t been here that long, I wasn’t so sure about playing the role of tour guide. I knew a few places around the LA area that I wanted to take them, but several of the places they wanted to visit, I hadn’t…

I received products from Allswell, Interior Define, and Pink Elephant Organics featured in the post. All opinions are my own. Alright moms, have you jumped on the family matching pajamas yet? When these adorable pjs arrived from Pink Elephant Organics (c/o), I was excited for a couple reasons. First, the pjs are super comfortable. Second,…

I recently received a trunk from Trunk Club with some spring finds. I collaborated with them last spring, and loved my experience so much, that I decided to try them again (this isn’t sponsored). The thing that I love about Trunk Club (or any other subscription clothing box) is that you get to try things you…
It’s citrus season in California. Our farmer’s market has been brimming with all different types of oranges. Originally, I tried a different recipe to create a blood orange polenta cake, but it didn’t turn out so well. The texture was off, or at least, I wasn’t a fan. Then I found this orange polenta olive…
I received this watch from MVMT. All opinions are my own. I love accessories. After nearly three months in CA, I finally unpacked everything last weekend and I forgot just how many accessories I own. Sunglasses make up the majority of my accessory collection, but I also own a ton of necklaces, earrings and bracelets….
