Memorial Day fashion, but make it chic. I’m definitely a fan of wearing dresses that are special holiday-appropriate, without wearing something that screams the American flag. This striped cold shoulder dress is the perfect way to nod to the holiday without screaming ‘Merica. There are lots of reasons I love a cold shoulder dress for spring and summer, but here… View Post

Even if you’re not looking for a festive spin… View Post
Last Friday, I was feeling antsy. It has been a while since I traveled anywhere, so on a whim, I decided to head to Palm Springs for the weekend.

Are you a scone person? I generally find people either love them or really don’t like them. I personally love all types of scones. Even if they are dry or moist, round or triangle-shaped, I like them all. I first fell in love with scones when I went to London. I will never forget the time I went to the… View Post

Do you ever find a piece of clothing and then realize it’s clearly a trend? I didn’t realize how popular a yellow midi dress was for spring until I started looking.

It’s Cinco de Mayo, so I thought I should try a new margarita recipe. This mango margarita recipe is so delicious and so easy to make. The great thing about this recipe is that you can use fresh or frozen mangos. I actually used one bag of frozen mangos because I wanted them to have a slushy consistency. If you… View Post
It’s that spring cleaning time of year. Earlier this spring, I did a segment on KTLA where I talked about some of the products of the year for 2022.

Pumpkin bread (check out my pumpkin recipes) and zucchini bread are two of my favorite things to bake and enjoy because they are so simple to make and always taste delicious. My mom didn’t bake a ton when I was a kid, but she did always make the most… View Post
I bet your kids are talking about recycling in school today. I bet they made some earth-shaped crafts, or something similar. I’m sure their teachers talked to them about the importance of caring for our planet. All of that is great, and a worthy thing to teach kids. But have you ever thought about sustainability in your daily life or… View Post
Do you have a go-to cornbread recipe? I love this honey sage cornbread that I usually make during the holidays. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and savory. But then I recently saw this blueberry cornbread recipe and knew I had to give it a try. This is definitely on the sweeter side, so if you prefer savory cornbread, this… View Post
