What I’ve Learned After 6 Months of Blogging

6 months ago today, I hit the “launch” button on my blog (crazy, right?!)  I had already spent weeks working on the website, started up my “blog Instagram” account, shot some outfit pictures, planned out some post ideas, and I was ready to go (or so I thought!) Now here we are 6 months later. Blogging has been so much fun, stressful at times (a lot of times), exciting, frustrating, rewarding, and a HUGE learning experience!!  I’ve been getting a...

Slow Cooker Apple Cider

  One of the things I love about fall and winter are the foods that are in season right now, especially apples! Apples are one of my favorite ingredients to cook with – apple pie, baked apples, apple crisp.. The list could go on!! I love making home made apple cider because it is SUPER easy, it makes the house smell amazing, and it is delicious (way better than the store bought kind!) This is a great base recipe that...

When to splurge vs. when to save

Now that it’s November, it is time to officially start thinking about the holidays! And not only is this the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also the most expensive time of the year. With all of the sales and shopping that we do these months, sometimes it’s hard to know when you should invest in high-quality (clothing) items and when you should save. Is it better to buy the nice pair of shoes that will last you...

Saranghae 5 Step Anti Aging Routine

I love testing out new products, and over the years I’ve tried numerous different skincare routines – but I have yet to find something that actually provides results. I have naturally oily skin, so putting any type of lotion or cream on my face at night will cause me to wake up with super oily skin which makes me break out. I had pretty much stopped moisturizing at all (I know, that’s so bad!) So when Saranghae reached out to...

Intro to Fall Top

  For the days when you want to dress for fall, but it’s still kind of hot out – This off the shoulder gingham top is perfect. The black and white gingham print gives you all the fall feels, while the short off the shoulder sleeves keep you from getting too hot.
