Hemp Seed Banana Muffins

One of my favorite things when I was a little girl was to walk into the house and smell freshly baked banana muffins. My mom made these as a special treat for our family all the time so the nostalgia I feel whenever I eat one is an added bonus to how yummy they are! Now that I make them in my own home, I've tweaked the recipe very slightly to add some extra nutrients in. It's a nice way to incorporate extra fiber and protein without sacrificing one of my favorite treats! You can definitely leave ... VIEW THIS POST

My Engagement Ring

I am actually embarrassed to say how many engagement rings I’ve tried on in my lifetime. It has to be upwards of 300 rings that have found their way onto my ring finger! I’ve looked at 1,000’s and knew exactly what I wanted so it was just a matter of creating it when the time came. The obsession with diamonds began when I was a little girl - I would ask my mom, aunts, and pretty much anyone that would listen to try their engagement ring on. Now that I'm in my twenties, it's a much more ... VIEW THIS POST

Healthy Turkey Tacos

It's Cinco de Mayo - woo hoo! If we are being completely honest, I am not exactly sure what this holiday really means but I do know that it's an excuse to eat endless amounts of tacos and nachos that's written on my calendar. Oh, and since we are being completely honest, the only difference between this day and the other 364 is that this one is actually written on the calendar. Since I eat tacos so often, I've tweaked my recipe over the years to make it as healthy as I possibly could. When I was ... VIEW THIS POST

Get the Look: Voluminous Blowout

If you're anything like me, whenever you leave the hairdresser, you feel pretty glamorous. Yes, the color touch-up and new hair style are fab but it's really the blowout that makes me feel like a whole new person. I always walk out thinking "I wish I could do my hair like this every day!" but a blowout can be pretty hard to master, especially when you're doing it on yourself. I can never get it quite smooth enough or add that perfect bend that they make with the round brush. I have finally ... VIEW THIS POST
