I’ve been on a major soup kick lately. It’s been cooler and rainy in LA a few times this month, so I stayed home and tried some new recipes. I recently made this Italian sausage and tortellini soup recipe and my whole family loved it. So I thought I’d try a vegan recipe this time. I’ve never tried 15 bean… View Post
Although I’m still working from home this winter, I couldn’t pass up this gorgeous pearl embellished coat. I found it during the major winter sales at Shein for only $31! The coat is such nice quality and looks so much more expensive than it is. I’m such a fan of the pearl embellishments. Ironically, the dress I’m wearing underneath the… View Post
Did you know January is oatmeal month? I love oatmeal all the ways. I eat it for breakfast several times a week. (Check out my hearty oatmeal pancakes, oatmeal breakfast cookies, or my baked oatmeal, perfect for weekly meal prep! 😉) Oatmeal cookies are one of my favorite types of cookies. I generally make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, monster cookies, or… View Post
This post is sponsored by Villa Premiere Puerto Vallarta. All opinions are my own. For my birthday this year, I wanted to do something big. Last year, I traveled to Scottsdale to visit my friend.

Sweater dresses and sweater sets are wardrobe staples for me this winter. They are so cozy and also forgiving if you’ve put on a few lbs. There are so many cute sweater dresses with a matching sweater. There are also cute skirt and sweater tops. One of the reasons I specifically love this black ripped dress and matching sweater is… View Post
It’s January, which for me meant it’s officially soup season! I love soup, but I don’t make it as often as I should. A family favorite is this slow cooker turkey chili, but I wanted to try something new. I’ve never made Italian sausage tortellini soup before, so I thought I’d give it a try. I researched a lot of… View Post
Last weekend, I spent all day on Saturday at my friend Beth’s house baking cookies. Baking Christmas cookies is an annual tradition we both love, but we’ve never done it together. Since she is unable to travel home this year to bake with her family, as she usually does, I suggested we bake together. We had such a fun time… View Post

Are you the type of person who has one winter coat? Or do you have multiple? Growing up, my parents believed we should invest in one high-quality winter coat and wear it to death. I do still own one expensive, high-quality coat that I take to cold climates (like when I was in Seattle last Christmas). But, I also like… View Post
